ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Ignore that threatening email from Jane O'Brien media because we are discussing queer director David Farrier's thriller-y documentary, Tickled (2016).

If you haven't seen it, watch the doc first because you won't believe where this exposé of "competitive tickling videos" goes and we are spoiling ALL of the reveals.

Plus: Joe's discomfort with the Richard Ivey segment, pondering the extent of the empire, and debate about the ending
