Hello Uglies – Titans Season 2, Episode 2: “The Monsters of Rock: Cyberpussy”

In this episode of Hello Uglies, Joe Betance and Lauri Roggenkamp take on the electrifying—and chaotic—second episode of Dragula: Titans Season 2, “The Monsters of Rock: Cyberpussy.” The monsters are bussed into the desert for a mysterious cyberpunk music challenge that promises rock, rebellion, and a touch of confusion.
