This week the Erins dust off their cobalt goggles for “A-Bombs Over Nevada,” on Paramount. Atomic testing was downright common in the 1950's and 60's while America was experimenting with its newest weapon. The regular site of mushroom clouds from Vegas hotels led to a romanticized view of the new atomic age. Reality catches up and people learn there are consequences playing with these new toys…

The Erins discuss Amish youths on Rumspringa in “Devil's Playground,” found only on YouTube. It's a fascinating look at this rite of passage taken by those born into the Amish life. Will they return to their roots and vow to join the church? Or will they cast it all away and live among the English and modern amenities? Each has to decide for themselves.

The Erins sing praises to Lord of the Wiens: A Dachumentary. All pups are great sports at the annual Wiener Dog Races in Buda, TX. They'll tolerate costumes, parades, and strollers for a chance to dominate the field. One Wien to rule them all!

The Erins treat you this week with “Hobbyhorse Revolution,” available on Tubi. Finnish teens find acceptance and cardio by competing as hobbyhorseists. There are thousands of girls galloping onto this scene worldwide! From designing the rides to coaching the contenders, these girls work together to hold each other up. This documentary is a fascinating look at kids making something truly their own.

The Erins want you to ‘come on down' this week for “Perfect Bid: The Contestant Who Knew Too Much.” Superfan Ted Slauson spent scads of time documenting and memorizing prize prices offered on beloved game show The Price Is Right. This was a years long project to help Ted score big when he got called to Contestant Row. While Ted didn't clean up as a contestant, he did help others excel, culminating in an actual ‘perfect bid.' Who says mathin' skills don't pay out?!

This week the Erins tell you about some common fears and where they came from with “Killer Legends,” available on Prime video. Urban legends have been a thing since Pop Rocks mixed with Coke in your belly. Hear more about how they are recycled to reflect anxieties every decade or so. Oh, and THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE!

The Erins bring you “Plagues and Pleasures on the Salton Sea” to continue steamy July. This sea turns out to be a happy accident and initial triumph over the harsh Cali desert. Then natural disasters cause a dramatic fall off of development hopes, and leave the sea to the less desirables. Will property values ever rebound? Let John Waters tell you all about it!

The Erins start July off with “Pucker Up: The Fine Art of Whistling.” We follow 6 master whistlers to the Annual Whistlers Convention. While you may not be a fan of your office whistler, you may swoon over these impressive hopefuls. This skill is less recognized today, but has deep roots in American history. Perfect for less annoying 4th of July celebrations!

This week the Erins wrap up 2023 Pride with “Pray Away” on Netflix. Conversion Therapy has been sold as a cure for being gay. In fact, it's been an industry complete with conferences and testimonials. We now understand that it has caused so much harm. Being gay has never required a cure, only acceptance!

This week the Erins call attention to the doc “Disclosure,” on Netflix. Anti-trans laws and attitudes are rampant in America right now. Perhaps the way Trans people are portrayed on-screen has contributed to the misinformation. More recent media made by Trans peeps for Trans peeps may push perception in a better direction.
