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.
