The boys close Season 2 with a grand fête centered around W.G. Sebald's The Rings of Saturn. They try to discern if the book is fiction or memoir or whatever else it might be, talk about its elliptical style, and dive into its sense of history and image.
Then, in one final Postmodern Food Factory, the boys come back -- like dogs returning to their vomit -- to try the Bud Light Ugly Sweater Seltzer Pack. Bad times are had by all.
Theme music: "Shostakovich," by Mucca Pazza.
