Bonus Episode #5 Decadence, depravity and unleashing the beast within

In an attempt to discuss Hunter S. Thompson’s 1971 masterwork of “Gonzo” journalism, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and along side it, Terry Gilliam’s wonderful 1998 film adaptation, we get fully derailed for a while, this time discussing the Melbourne Cup as an Australian version of Thompson’s decadent and depraved Kentucky Derby, the delusions of a man “facing reality”, and unleashing the beast within. This bonus episode captures that derailment. We hope you enjoy it…
