Back in the dark recesses of the Vancouver nightlife, there was once a post-punk spastic collection of artists called UJ3RK5. Steve and Doug try to make sense of it all.

**Retraction! It appears that UJ3RK5 was not affiliated with the soundtrack of the film Big Meateater. We've endeavoured to remove mention of the film from this episode, but just in case any references snuck in, please take note**
