Join us this week for Black Widow, part 2.  In this week's
episode, we discuss the striking cover artwork for the 7" vinyl
single of "Black Widow," from its genesis and execution to its
appearance on fan tattoos.  But the bulk of the episode is
devoted to a deep dive into the music video for "Black Widow,"
including in-depth interviews and recollections by the band, cast
and crew.  We discuss all manner of fun facts about the
original video story, the Italian horror film influence, filming
locations, title character, special effects, plot twists, and the
hilarious bloopers and misadventures during the filming process.
Unearthed trivia nuggets include the reasons for the dearth of
live black widow spiders in the video, the identities of the
victims, and Jarvis's misgivings about the project. In short,
