We open today’s episode with an interesting question: if you could become the greatest ever in one art form, what art form would you choose? Writer, painter, actor, singer? Somehow, this segues into a conversation about who we think the greatest comic book writer in history is.

After that, we talk about how DISGUSTING Gravity’s Rainbow is. Like, Epstein Files disgusting! WTF is wrong with Thomas Pynchon???
