This week, we bring you our strong opinions and thoughts on the documentary, Tickled (2016) and its relation on a subplot in Riverdale. Tickled is a 2016 documentary brought to us by David Farrier and Dylan Reeve, who traveled to the United States from New Zealand in pursuit of learning more about the United States Extreme Tickling Competitions. If you haven't seen this season of Riverdale, be warned you might be slightly spoiled, but for our non-Riverdale watchers, you do not need to have any background knowledge to follow along.
Warning: This episode is a little darker in terms of its subject - we speak briefly about what is covered in the doc and how these main media "tickling rings" are used to manipulate the underprivileged as well as how they use derogatory language around homosexuality (none of which is used or said in the recording of this podcast).
Recorded and edited by Allison Varca and Meghan Pavlovsky. Music credits to Michael Vontas
