Fake Ritual

Lucas is joined by artist, musician and occultist Bat St. Chip to talk the unforgettable television experience that is Twin Peaks as well as explore some of the reality-bending theories put forth in co-writer Mark Frost's epistolary novel 'The Secret History of Twin Peaks'. Pour yourself a cup of good, hot, black coffee and tune in as they investigate atom bombs and aliens alike! You may even catch a David Lynch impression (or two). In other words: Fakers walk with me!

Lucas welcomes back Fake Ritual alumns Albert C. Hall & Caleb Pass for a movie recommendation two-fer. Listen in as they talk the survival-horror gem Rituals (1977) & the heavenly comedy-drama Static (1985).

Lucas welcomes to the show filmmaker and fellow podcaster Lance Parkin (Neon Brainiacs) to talk the teenage-trauma mecha-drama that is Neon Genesis Evangelion. They take a stab at breaking down the anime into its core parts before meeting some of the more memorable monsters from the show's angelic catalogue. Suit up, plug in and go BERSERK!

Kate Sweeney returns to discover the many magical creatures lurking in Finland's countryside and rate them on sheer brutality (or lack thereof).

Lucas sits down with returning guest Kate Sweeney to talk Adult Swim's blacker-than-the-blackest-black-times-infinity death-metal-centric animated series, Metalocalypse. They band together to dissect the show's characters and music while also unearthing a plot that's about as brain-dead as the members of Dethklok, themselves. Brutal enough for ya? There's only one way to find out...

Longtime friend of the show Caleb Pass returns to talk the many video game interations of that fiery underworld we know and love so much. He and host Lucas pit together two well-known condemned classics in a Hell-off to make the devil proud before unearthing some dishonorable mentions, each featuring their own torturous netherrealms. Go to Hell! We'll see you there.

Lucas welcomes to the show fellow podcaster Gregg Harrington (Neon Brainiacs) to dive deep into the nautical nonsense that is Nickelodeon's SpongeBob SquarePants. Together they absorb some of the series' more obscure fan theories before dredging up a few of Bikini Bottom's most notable monsters, mutants and myths. Are ya ready, kids? I can't hear you!

Emily Burnett is back to see if she can handle the soul-sucking nothingness that is the Void! Lucas does his best not to lose his mind as he probes the Void's slimy depths to bring forth a number of silly little questions.

Toddy Tondera (THRIFTY Podcast, Brick Body Kids Vintage) returns to the show to talk the juggernaut of childhood fright that is the Goosebumps franchise. Lucas picks his brain over some of the series' most spine-tingling covers, monsters and plot twists before settling in to dissect a few commercials from a boo-gone era. Faker Beware, You're in for a Scare!

Lucas welcomes back longtime friend of the show Emily Burnett to talk the Tremors film franchise and those pesky Graboids we know and love so much. Tread lightly as they sift through many a ground-breaking sequel before turning an occult eye to the sandworms themselves and testing Emily's knowledge of other subterranean wigglers. Can you dig it?
