We all wear masks throughout our lives- masks for bravery, masks to hide our pain, and sometimes masks made of the literal skin of a deity that we've cut down to silence those damn singing birds for once and for all. Whatever mask you choose to wear, make sure you wear it this evening while listening to the latest episode of the Hook Cooks! Along with our special guest for the evening, Chris Magilton from the audio drama podcast Among the Stars and Bones, the boys descend down a very dark staircase wearing velvety, violet robes stained with just a little bit of blood, and prepare themselves for one hell of a ritual! I wonder if we'll ever find out what's going down in this mysterious town.

It was a night just like tonight, I got a visit from some dame who came knockin' on my door. She walked in on a pair of legs. She tells me that she's caught up in some no-good nonsense. I tells her she must be joking. So she starts going on about the latest episode of the Hook Cooks, about its intregue and mystery, like it's the cat's pajamas. I take me a minute, maybe longer, and pour myself another glass. It always goes well with the cheap smokes that I like to chew on when I'm bored. "Do sepia-toned noir rips like me get healthcare?" I say out loud- but the room's empty. Where even am I? I try to find a door, but there's no way out. I sit back down.

Well hello there, travellers. Our performance tonight features none other than Barry from the legendary movie-plot-predicting podcast Blockblunders, so strap yourselves in. Take a seat and let us serve you a delightfully heady brew to tantilize your brainbuds and let all your worries drift away. Take in the rich, toe-tapping and relaxing ambiance of the newest episode of the Hook Cooks as we take your coat and dim the lights. But be careful not to lose track of time, or who you are. We have no clocks here, but who needs them anyway? Why not just stay here and drink your cares away...

They keep telling us about the benefits of various leafy greens, but have you ever stopped to think that said leafy greens may actually be brainwashing our world's richest into becoming worker ants for Outsiders?! Well on tonight's episode of Hook Cooks we expose who is hot to trot, and who's got the brain rot. Think about it.

Do you hear that dripping? The constant droplets of water, falling square into the centre of your mind, endlessly? Even the largest mountains will eventually be worn down into dust by the ever-ongoing trickle of water. Now, what if that dripping were more drool like, and brackish? What if it were dripping from between two rows of teeth, and a pair of pale lips spread wide into a manic grin? Kinda gross, I'd imagine. But hey, at least they're having fun.

Have you ever thought about how you're always between other things? Like how sometimes you're sitting between other people, and other times you're in between reading about and listening to the latest episode of Hook Cooks! Transitioning between things is quite interesting, like how we're all always slowly marching towards entropy. But this time, wizards are coming. Multiverse-traversing and incredibly jacked wizards. You've been warned, and now it's time to change.

"And the Oscar for Most Tom Hanks Mentions in a Single Episode of a Podcast goes to...The Tom Hanks Variety Hour featuring Tom Hanks!"

Aw beans, we were so close! I know you're supposed to say it's an honour to be nominated, but Academy be damned - I think this episode of the Hook Cooks deserved to take out the fictional award I just invented. Check it out yourself today, and hey, maybe chuck us a sweet nom next year, we'll surely be back, BIGger and better!
