TMR 20.4: “The Sweat of Love” [MULLIGAN STEW]

“I SUCK!” Kicking off with an “erotic” “poem,” this week’s episode is nuts from the very start. There is a very serious explanation for the “Flawless Play Restored: The Masque of Fungo” (thanks to Tyrus Miller’s piece in the Review of Contemporary Fiction), but this is surrounded by Nobel Prize talk, a breakdown of Lamont’s incredibly cringey letter to Lorna Flambeaux, her terrible poetry, and many, many laughs—all with special guest Tom Flynn (Lost in Redonda).

This week’s music is “Crisis” by Elizabeth Drummond.
