Bonus Episode! Head Cannon: The Killing of Brian Thompson

As Brent and Corey wait for a guest who is ultimately unable to make it, they discuss the killing of Brian Thompson, and his alleged assailant Luigi Mangione, referencing sources such as Mariame Kaba's "We Do This 'Til We Free Us," weighing the inherent patriarchal harm of violence and requisite psychological damage of a person capable of violence against the peaceful capitulation to a system (and the few individuals who benefit from that system) that is causing human suffering, ecological collapse, and very likely human extinction.

Head Cannon: Heavy Metal

Brent and Corey welcome back Head Cannon regular JT Robinson to discuss hitting too much Plutonian Nyborg before getting on a plane, Facebook beefs, oppression in counterculture movements, our love of Akira, and we even spend a couple minutes talking about 1981's Heavy Metal.
