Summary

In their last episode, Ashley and Megan talk about George Hodel's obsession with the surrealist art movement, which seemingly dictated his values and how he lived his entire adult life. Mark Nelson, author of The Exquisite Corpse, described surrealism as “an interplay of irrationality, eroticism, and violence…recurring in a broad array of writings and art.” Those sound like excellent themes to live by!

Trigger Warning: Generally explicit material.
