About this episode

The episode explores the final leg of the Monkey King's journey in 'Journey to the West' and introduces a new creature, Intulo.

🐺Inside each of us there are two wolves. They are named 'Shifty' and 'Freaky'.🐺 Which one wins? Well it doesn't matter because they're both demons so maybe try to starve both of them out. Or spit in their faces and steal their name tags, like Sun Wukong does. No wrong answers because, in the world of the Journey to the West, anything goes. But for real, we catch back up with Monkey, Sandy, Pigsy, and the Tang Monk on their travels as they enter year 14 and the final leg of their journey. But are they ready for what awaits them? 😈 The Creature: Intulo An evil walking and talking lizard who just wants to watch the world die. But only if he has to die, eventually. He does? Ok, then bye, world. --- Links: Membership : https://www.mythpodcast.com/membership Fictional season 6 is out! : https://fictional.fm/subscribe Discord : https://myths.link/discord Instagram : https://myths.link/instagram Bluesky : https://myths.link/bluesky YouTube : https://myths.link/youtube --- 📢 Sponsors Mint Mobile : New customers can make the switch today and for a limited time, get unlimited premium wireless for just $15 per month.
