According to the newsletter:

The show’s first installment featured a distinguished panel of Texas A&M artists, architects and philosophers in a wide-ranging “interrogation into the question of otherness, the unknown and the uncanny” under the topic, “ugly/form.”

Joining Lang on the talk-show set — a random collection of designer chairs with a 54-inch plasma screen in the background streaming horrific outtakes from the three “Alien” movies  — were Joshua Bienko, artist and assistant professor of visualization, Gabriel Esquivel, architect and assistant professor of architecture, and Theodore George, an associate professor of philosophy and expert in post-Kantian continental philosophy.
