Sean and Lucy - totally twisted on frustrated wanderlust - sojourn into the sultry, introxicating climate of the Italian Peninsula to discuss Lucino Visconti's adaptation of Thomas Mann's 1912 novella Death in Venice - exploring the twin impulses of the Freidrich Nietzsche's Apolline and the Dionysiac, the history and theory of queerness in 19th and early 20th century Europe, Freud's essay on Narcissim and the Lovecraftian turn in Mann's modernism.
