We’re joined by author and internet chaos agent Robert Brockway to talk about his new novel “I Will Kill Your Imaginary Friend for $200”—a dark, funny, and unexpectedly emotional dive into childhood, loneliness, and the terrifying things that live in our heads (and maybe on YouTube).

Then, after we politely let our guest escape the cursed video store, we spiral straight into the 2015 horror oddity My Bloody Banjo.

Along the way:

• We uncover the horrors of modern “imaginary friends”
• Debate the true chaos of kids’ media past vs. present
• Learn way too much about “banjo strings”
• And question every life decision that led us here

It’s part author interview, part horror deep dive, and part complete descent into madness.

Proceed at your own risk.
