Posted by naxnaxnax on Jun 17, 2022

In this episode, we journey back to the 70s, 80s, and 90s to discover the fantasy glam-rock biopic Velvet Goldmine. We talk about the history and political climate of the 70s and 80s regarding glam, the enigma of Kurt Cobain, and try to pretend we know about Oscar Wild. But, there is something else you didn't expect under all that glitter; fascism.
