R.I.P. Flattus Maximus

No.145, aired November 9, 2011. This was the annual "Remembering The Present" episode, featuring passages from Noam Chomsky's speech titled "An American Addiction" and two World War II speeches of Winston Churchill preserved on the audiobook "The Road To Victory."

This episode paid homage to Cory Smoot - the last and greatest "Flattus Maximus" lead guitar player for GWAR - with three songs that showcase his incredible shredding. In honour of the departed Smoot, GWAR retired the Flattus Maximus character.

Happy Death Day, Flattus Maximus.
