About this episode

The episode discusses the classic horror film 'The Killer Shrews' and its themes of reproduction and social commentary.

It's been a minute, but we're back with a much-anticipated classic film about reproduction, excessive drinking, fisticuffs, tiny waistlines, pointy tits, and being sad about the deaths of the humorous and overweight minority serving the fit and thinky white people. It's Loathsome Things: A Podcast Returning from the Dead!
