Casual Loops

Are we alone? Carl asks Darren this open ended question, which spurs a conversation about the potential for life in the universe, theories, conspiracies, and blokes with massive hair. Casual Loops this week is out of this world.

Carl & Darren get discussing the differences between science fiction, horror, and fantasy after they read a supposed top 15 list of the genre.

They discuss why zombies aren't sci-fi, the truth behind the heroes of the Walking Dead, three top underrated sci-fi shows they recommend and the worst sci-fi movie of all time, The Host.

Carl & Darren are fascinated by monster stories. From a bitter worm demanding milk, to a dangerous tree creature that will attack you from above, we share all we know about mysterious monsters in the latest episode of Casual Loops.

Do you believe in ghosts?

Carl & Darren discuss the idea of ghosts based on their own experiences. Neither are particularly convinced but look to delve deep into their own past to find the truth.

Carl shares a few stories from buildings supposed to be haunted from his past, including a mysterious castle, and a building allegedly haunted by angry bitter nuns.

Darren shared a local Yorkshire ghost story, and discussed the curse of King Tuts Tomb.

We aren't yet convinced. How about you?

Carl & Darren chat to James 'Murr' Murray, a star of Tru TV and Comedy Central's hit show, Impractical Jokers. His first novel, AWAKENED, is slated for release next year. Murr joined us for a chat about the book, his inspirations, and Staten Island's urban legends.

Carl & Darren attempt to one up each other with some wacky conspiracies they've been researching. Want to know the truth behind Willy Wonka's motives? Who really shot JFK? Has NASA been lying to us about what our planet really looks like? Find out in the latest episode of Casual Loops.

Carl attempts to convince Darren about the Mandela effect; a the pseudo-scientific belief that some differences between one's memories and the real world are caused by changes to past events in the timeline. Many believers think it's caused by travel between alternate universes.

Carl and Darren discuss documented stories where people have said they experienced accidental time travel, odd claims of reoccurring dreams about being involved in historical battles, and some of the better known urban legends.
