On the occasion of this pod-tober spooky season, we’re going to dissect one of the most iconic films of the modern horror film genre – “Halloween”, the original 1978 version. In addition to its dozens of glaring plot holes, it established what are now considered classic tropes of slasher movies . Anuradha and I are joined by her friend and up-and-coming actress and writer, Samantha Shay. Her newest film, “The Locked Room” is also in the horror genre and can be found at: https://youtu.be/OJWXF2uI9x0 Please check it out.

We are training our investigative spotlight on this question - Are the perennial favorite entrees that Americans consider to be authentically “ethnic” – really all that close to the originals? We’re talking Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Indian, Thai, Korean, and many more. And further, does the USA even have any foods that they can call their very own? Is a hot dog, a hamburger, roast chicken, or apple pie actually ‘American’? The answers may surprise you.

Saturday, September 19 was the INTERNATIONAL TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY. I admit, not quite as big a holiday as Thanksgiving and Christmas to most Americans – but it’s a big day on the Scandal Sheet calendar. Why, you ask? Because many of the same goof balls that bring you Scandal sheet episodes twice a month produced these 2, scripted comedy opens related to pirates. It’s totally hilarious!. I’m going to brag because this is 16 track stereo production with music and sound effects. Special thanks to our amazing cast that should have won Emmys – Kassia Oset, my co-host, Len from Manhattan, that plays the head pirate, handsome Rob from the East side of Manhattan, and David Grover (voted 6 time super lawyer in NYC) round out the cast. Last but not least is Jill Grover, David’s wife, that voices the parrot. Happy ‘talk like a pirate week’ to all!

On the occasion of a new hit movie about the early years of Anthony Bourdain in the food service restaurant world, we thought it would be a great idea to replay this interview. The name of movie is simply “Tony” and it has been very well reviewed. Bourdain - celebrity chef, best-selling author, and international television star -unexpectedly committed apparent suicide at age 62 - at the very zenith of his fame. How could this possibly happen? And what lessons for us lie beneath this

Shakespearean tragedy?

Our Interview is with Maureen Desmond, a leading professional grief coach and consultant in the Washington DC metro area. Her company is called Navigating Organizations Through Change and Loss. Maureen is outstanding and she is a listener favorite. Together, we attempt to unravel and penetrate the details of the rollercoaster life of this complicated, uniquely American person that led to his terrible demise. Enjoy her piercing insights into Anthony Bourdain’s unique life.

Since the early years of the Apollo space program thousands – and then millions - of Americans have passionately insisted that most of these missions, such as the 6 moon landings, were staged or faked by the US Government and NASA. This skepticism has exploded into outright conspiracy calls this very year with the US Artemis II moon mission There are literally thousands of recent You Tube videos and social posts claiming Artemis is also is a fake. We are joined by frequent guest and cultural critic, John Hoekstra, for expert commentary.

What could be more American than a juicy, delicious hot dog? … but what about eating 76 of them in only 10 minutes? We fire up the grill on NATHAN’S FAMOUS HOT DOG EATING CONTEST, held annually every July 4th in Coney Island Brooklyn, New York and broadcast on ESPN. Often called the super bowl of competitive eating, this tournament attracts the leading eaters from around the world. But is competitive eating really a sport? And are the participants really athletes? Our esteemed guests are two 10+ year judges of this holiday event, Rob from The Upper East Side, and Jason from Long Island, to help us peel back the aluminum foil on the most exciting 10 minutes in all of sports.

As this is a summer favorite and one of our most popular episodes, this is an encore from 2023.

Is this the best summer movie ever!

Today, we think of the movie “Jaws” as a blockbuster game-changer in movie history. But back in 1973-1975, it appeared to be the biggest financial disaster in cinema history to producing company Universal Studios and many Hollywood insiders. Directed by a talented, but inexperienced and unknown filmmaker, Steven Spielberg, it appeared to be a runaway train leading the studio to eventual bankruptcy. The initial shooting schedule swelled from 55 days to 159 days. And the budget soared from $3.5 million to $12 million. Almost everything went wrong. Spielberg, an age 24 TV director, had no idea what he was doing on a project of this massive scale. They started with no useable script and they spent $1.5 million on a mechanical shark that mostly didn’t work while shooting. Also, there was drug and alcohol addiction among the major actors. How could the production of this movie possibly be worse? And yes, it eventually became the most successful film of all time to that date – BUT HOW THE HECK DID THAT HAPPEN? We tell you the REAL story behind the scenes.

This is a replay from 2025.

The White House has just released a massive number of previously top-secret videos and documents from the DIA, CIA, FBI, and DOD – all related to UFOs. In our preceding UFO episode, we replayed popular episodes on the topic from the recent past. BUT this episode is entirely NEW. Anuradha and I welcome our esteemed guest, Maria Barnes, to our microphone. Longtime film/video producer, director, and writer; college professor; author of several books; podcaster, and many other things, Maria has her own unique theory about extraterrestrials that you will definitely want to hear.

We mention the Drake Equation which describes the overwhelming mathematical probability that intelligent life should exist elsewhere in the universe. https://bit.ly/4gevn7N

We also mention the famous psychanalyst Carl Jung’s 1958 book, “Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies” On Amazon: https://bit.ly/4wgcV3w . Jung believed that after the 1947 “Roswell Incident” we socially projected UFO delusions upon ourselves in the wake of the existential threat of the cold war and possible sudden annihilation.

The White House has just released a massive number of previously top-secret videos and documents from the DIA, CIA, FBI, and DOD related to UFOs. There is also a new film by Steven Speilberg that reveals a conspiracy between Extraterrestrials and world governments (his biggest first weekend box-office career open). My co-host and expert ET-hunter, Anuradha, and I intend to get to the bottom of this 79 year conspiracy and share with our viewers/listeners. In addition, we will be joined by seasoned podcaster and ET-conspiracy expert, Maria Barnes. She will blow your mind. Stay tuned!

In the meantime, we are sharing this amazing episode from 2023, the last time, the United States Congress convened a multi-day hearing to investigate UFO’s and brought in decorated Marine/Naval aviators to testify, share videos they also saw with their own eyes, and other empirical evidence, such as radar.
