Wearing an A/C unit on your head, both literally (in Camp Miasma) and figuratively (at Cannes and elsewhere)  
Chasing shame and embarrassment as the most intense and therefore realest emotions 
Filming an improvised movie guerrilla-style with friends & family
Jack's grandmother falling in love with another nun and living an amazing life :)
Plus: Little Death, actual death, Leatherface, Kate Berlant, Paul Preciado, bouillon chunks, a tour of Jack's tattoos, and a surprising amount about Nuts4Nuts

Tuck teases a very personal recent Gender Conceal episode and a big, exciting upcoming experiment. Then, Ozzy chats with Tempest Creation (she/her) about her short film Birth of the Hive Queen. Topics include how to cast moths for a movie, why Tempest's films all have "hooker brain," and whether trans cinema has a coherent aesthetic beyond being dark and crazy :) :)
Listen to the full episode on Patreon to hear Tempest discuss alienating her YouTube transition vlog audience, choosing her name, and being banned by the Library of Congress?!
Find Tempest at tempestcreation.com and @tempestcreation. Birth of the Hive Queen is available to watch on our Patreon through May.
