<p class="p1">“Do you think this Eric Frankenstein is into crypto?”<br /> “This Frankenstein probably invented crypto”<br /> “Frank-coin?”</p> <p class="p1">National security journalist Nicholas Slayton joins me to talk about James Gunn's DC animated series for HBO, Creature Commandoes. We've got gothic horror, geopolitics and an impressive soundtrack. This episode opens with a spoiler-free conversation on whether the show is worth your time before diving in for a conversation about those who the law does not protect, disability metaphors and more.</p> <p class="p1">Nicholas Slayton is a Los Angeles-based journalist covering the "panic beat" --- inequality, war, climate change and protests.
