Now Apocalypse - Where Is My Mind?

Well, not that I wasn’t expecting it, but Araki’s second episode of his one season on Starz of “Now Apocalypse” is loaded with young adult sex, developments from each coupling offering revelations. Carly has lots of sex toys in her closet stemming from her web cam career (she has plenty of money to pay for her and Uly’s meal while discussing reptile alien conspiracies much to her dismay and objection) and her actor beau is curious (the dildo lands across his face!), agreeing to a spanking that actually results in some great sex once he “cries out”! Uly is still pondering the experience from the previous end of that first episode, with the reptile alien rimming some guy in the alley. He gets a security job where he can sit inside a guard shack and talk to Carly. Carly is in her acting class witnessing a painfully performed “birthing” scene, startled by her coach in the bathroom in what felt like a complimentary flirtation. The oblivious Ford has no clue that the producer “loving” his script (about robots and vampires) seems more interested in him while Sev decides she wants to see him fucking her friend (who returns from an Antifa protest!) as a turn-on for her. While Uly isn’t even getting a handjob this episode, his friends sure are active! Henry Rollins of Black Flagg has a cameo as a popular alien conspiracy nut who claims Obama and Beyonce are reptile aliens! Uly looks him up after “awakening” in the middle of a street after seeing what he thought was the back alley reptile alien rape. Carly, rightfully, questions if this whole “experience” is but the effects of good dope. But this episode, titled “Where is My Mind?”, seems to showcase Ford specifically, enjoying spaghetti at the producer’s party after a film premiere when he meets an actor he’s a fan of, not reading the signs of desire as others more lucid to the visual cues. Sev, his “girlfriend”, does enjoy his body and physical “structure” while her friend allows Ford to tell her he loves her which seems to charge up the sex…he does that a lot to Sev, not getting but a cold response of, “I know”. Sev is quite an elusive character, cold, clinical, analytical. Ford is always keeping himself in shape, seen exercising in different ways when he isn’t eating or fucking. Uly worries about him, as he complains to Carly about how naïve he is, considering he’s new in town, easy prey. And Carly, bored with her man’s spiritual kick, is surprised with what her paddling (she’s “upset” about his phone concerns while unexcitedly penetrating her from a behind position) does for their sex life afterwards. Her aggressive side and his sensitive side seem converge with positive results! And as the episode concludes, Uly arrives at a car with a surprise. Whatever cosmic “disturbance” occurred the night he was handjobbing with Gabriel, perhaps it is surfacing….2.5/5
