Aaron and Leyla finally put down their ideological burden and finish their two-month journey of reading "The Fountainhead." We get the maddest we've ever been, get fully irradiated with yaoi, make a short pilgrimage to the cuck chair, and cap it all off with a special musical ending, for real fans only.

The prophesied right wing sellout moment has finally arrived. Leyla and Aaron, in an attempt to prepare for Francis Ford Coppola's "Megalopolis," have decided to dive into a classic of objectivist philosophy, Ayn Rand's 1943 doorstopper, "The Fountainhead." Follow us down the rabbit hole as we discuss a high schooler's ideology, explain why objectivism is appealing to lonely kids, and cut the novel in half by asking these dudes to just kiss already.
