  • Episode 90 - Come Play With Us! (The Island Of The Dolls/Creepy Doll Stories)

    If there is one thing that never fails to creep people out, it's dolls. Something about those lifeless, frozen expressions on their eyes and faces make them very unnerving. So, we thought we'd talk about how there is a literal island in Mexico where there are over 2000 of them hanging from the trees and vegetation, just waiting for you to become their new friend :)

    After discussing that creepy place, we share some stories about our personal experiences with dolls. From hearing them walking down the hall at 3 am to hearing them whispering in the middle of the night, we got some chilling stuff for you to dive into!

  • Episode 89 - So, You're Not From Around Here, Right? (Roswell And Aliens)

Once the government got involved in the recovery process, they provided some explanations as to the origins of the aircraft, but some people weren't entirely satisfied.

    We took it upon ourselves to talk about this subject, and we discuss everything from online technology, atomic weapons, and psychology in the context of the possibility of alien encounters. Oh, and also, dummies falling from the sky :P In addition to all that, Mariah shares some interesting personal and family stories about what could be possible alien encounters and sightings ...

    A group of "teenagers" decide to stay at the local mall overnight to party and do all the kinds of things that "teens" do. What they didn't count on though, was the fact that a freak lightning bolt would corrupt the newly installed security computer, along with its three Protector robots. Will they be able to fight them off until they can escape in the morning? Or will they succumb to the killbots?

    Join us as we talk about this 80s cult classic! Besides talking about the movie itself, we reminisce and meander about how malls are very different in the 2020s versus how they used to be in the 80s and 90s.
