In this episode, with a name that breaks all the rules, we zoom in on our featured Food and Operator, the distinctly disturbing dreamy duo Monkfish Liver, who are decidedly NOT here to look after you, good hunter, and the thunder-thighed thoroughly thought provoking Savage, here to whip you up a bowl of the good stuff (?) and ask a spooooky question: Is it possible for your sexy aunt to be scarier than a flesh eating mannequin? Because, here me out. Then, it's off to the community center with Burrito, Datemaki, and Figurino, asking: Now, we all know you can forcefemme a burrito (not mine please, I'm full) but CAN you forcefemme a taco...?

In this episode, the finale of I.S.Y.S.W.A.S.F.H.S.S. (I scream, you scream, we all scream for Hell Screen summer) we zoom in on the second half of Ryoshu's art, allowing our concepts to be fully incinerated in an endless tragic dance of blur filters and blue and pink light (H.P.) by B.O.T.H.O.S.R. (Blade of the House of Spiders Ryoshu) and adopt the following question: Which Ryoshu, in the end, is the most mommy? Which one is the coveted T.F.M.?

In this episode, the midpoint of our titular I.S.Y.S.W.A.S.F.H.S.S. (I scream, you scream, we all scream for Hell Screen summer) we zoom in on the expressionist of excrutiation, the modernist of mauling, the romantacist of reaping, the, uhm, art deco-ist of agony, so on and so forth, Ryoshu (or at least, look at the first half of her art, with the rest coming next episode) who, while she might not always look it, is truly a M.A.H. (mommy at heart) prompting us to ask a childish question: Take a 5 minute break? You mean the break that makes you old?

Ryūnosuke Akutagawa (1892-1927), from the age of 22 to his death at 35, wrote over 150 short stories. He is today widely considered the "father of the Japanese short story," and many of his works focus on historical and mythological tales presented through a modern psychological lens. His stories enjoy popularity even now, over a century after they were written, as some of the greatest works of Japanese literature: stories like Rashōmon, The Spider's Thread, In A Bamboo Grove, and Hell Screen.

Soul Mates! is proud to present a reading of Hell Screen, one of Akutagawa's early masterpieces. Based on a tale from the Uji Shūi Monogatari, Hell Screen follows a painter tasked to create a painting of the Buddhist hells, who finds himself unable to paint the perfect image until he sees the flames for himself. Please enjoy this new audiobook experience, with original backing music by Aster Gousie.

In this episode, featuring serious lesbian art analysis (and something else, too!) we zoom in on the slitheringly sensual short-sighted sapphic seductive serpent goddessss Li Yang, who really does need to zoom in because she really, really needs glasses, and ask a question of former United States of America president Barack Obama: Hello sir, could you help me figure out which parts of the woman we should talk about? Like, you know, the outfit, and the posing, and facial expression, and the snake, and...?

In this episode, with ash returning fresh out of hell, we zoom in on the blood-coughing bird-loving braniac Sora Ichinose (whose name I mispronounce every time because you live in my world) who keeps accquaintance with some of the best drippy ghosts you've ever met, and ask a gemoetric question: Wait, how do you solve this dang puzzle cube again? You make the white cross, then you pair the edges - no, then you do the first layer, then how do you...

Bad news, folks: We found out that Ksitigarbha, the patron bodhisattva of Planned Parenthood, already cleared ash out of hell by... Well, you'll see. Along the way we made plenty of friends, though, starting with the bell-ringing bodice-bound bamboo beauty Temptress, who IS wearing a bisexual jacket, a real thing that I will defend to the death, and end by asking a truly enlightened question: If hardline hairline homophobia puts you in hell, what sexuality services your ascent to heaven? Meet me at the club, and let's find out?

Bad news, folks: ash has gone to Hell, and it's up to Ivy and May to save them. Guided by our chain-clad cheerless chinese-underworld champion Black Impermanence, we dive into the depth of this year's (the Horse's year) hottest mahjong roguelike, battling buxom babes in tile throwdowns all while asking: But what if your mom was doggy? Well, and tiger, and lion, and dragon, and qilin...
