This week Scotty talks about the bizarre and tragic death of scientist Frank Olson and his connection to the CIA's infamous Project MKUltra, while Amelia discusses the court case Madrigal v. Quilligan and California's shameful history of forced sterilizations. Plus a bonus, mostly spoiler-free discussion of Nia DaCosta's new "Candyman" movie.

CONTENT WARNING: this week's episode includes mentions of suicide, animal death, medical and scientific abuse, and humans being generally terrible to each other.
