Sunn Classic Pictures' history spans little more than a decade. They started out with the goal of making family friendly entertainment, movies that middle America could take their kids to on a Saturday without having to worry about the profanity and violence that seemed to be on the upswing in Hollywood at the time. Between knowing their market, and having a clever distribution strategy, Sunn Classic Pictures did pretty well for themselves. But then they found out about ancient aliens, and things started to slide from family friendly to fake news.

Ignaz Semmelweis was one of the first physicians to realize that he could save lives by washing his hands. This mid 1800s discover should have taken over the medical establishment by storm. Instead Semmelweis was met with skepticism, incredulity, ridicule, and ignorance. WASH YOUR HANDS, DOC.

Clive Sinclair had nothing to prove by the time he was set to release the Sinclair C5. He had produced the worlds first pocket calculator, and the first personal computer that could be bought for under £100. Now he was bringing his genius to bear on the automotive world. This is the story of how that went wrong.

In this episode we take on NXIVM, the sex cult run by Keith Raniere that stole millions from its members and is currently being dismantled in court. While not a conventional religious cult, it became a cult of personality as the members were forced to do worse and worse things. Sarah Edmondson spoke out about the cult and started a chain reaction that would take down actors, billionaires, and more.

The Zip to Zap started off as a lark, a small getaway planned but North Dakota State University students in 1969. They planned to drive to the tiny town of Zap, based on nothing more than the fact that the name sounded funny, and have a little spring break fun. But then the story hit the news and things started to get out of hand. This is the story of the Zip to Zap, a party that got so far out of hand the National Guard was called to break it up.

The Hitler Diaries were supposedly the most intimate thoughts of Adolf Hitler. Instead they just turned out to be the forgeries of Konrad Kujau just trying to make money. The journals would be bought by gullible collector Gerd Heidemann and published by Stern Magazine for millions. Unfortunately they were claimed as authentic before laboratories could determine they were amateurish fakes.

Othniel Charles Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope were paleontologists who made amazing advances in a golden ago of fossil discoveries in America near the end of the 19th century. But their competition between each other left a dark mark on the field of paleontology and left both men broke and broken by the ends of their lives. This is the story of the Bone Wars.

Tony and Al take a deep dive on Roar, the most dangerous movie ever made. Noel Marshall and Tippi Hedren worked together to create a movie with more than 100 lions, tigers, and other enormous animals. With more than 70 hospitalizations and more than 100 overall injuries its a wonder no one was killed.

The Great Emu War was a real conflict waged between real soldiers and real emus. An emu is a bird. The Emu War took place in the darkest years of the Great Depression in a place that is already an insane place to live, Australia. Some poor soldiers that had managed to survive World War I went home to Australia; they were given land to farm that wasn't good for farming, the economy went sour, and then the government screwed them over. And THEN the emus showed up.

Gene Ray is the wisest man to ever live and he changed our view on physics and how the universe works. In his infinite wisdom, he showed us the four part day and how the American education system hides it. We also dig deeper into just who Otis Eugene Ray was as a person and the life of Pyramid0rz founder Richard Janczarski.
