Agitator began as the real-time documentation of street-bred novelists fighting to get it out the mud while cutting up about anime and developing a craft manifesto along the way. Having established an independent multimedia company that is taking off, the show is now where these two mystic juggalo weebs freestyle stories live each episode and bring behind-the-scenes perks to their paid subscribers.

The Agitator boys have opposing thoughts on DUNE. Instead of going to war over some art that someone else made, we explore the nature of taste and why we vibe with or hate certain movies.
