Join us with our special guest, Author Kaeleen Thorn, as we dive into the world of online mediumship. Yes, that is right! We do a seance over a virtal meeting and the results are nothing short of scary. Just remember, we warned you.

Witness the breaking of a man as he sinks deeper and deeper into the insanity that is the Leprechaun movie franchise. Friendships are tested as we asked Ricky to watch all 8 films in the franchise so that we (and you) don't have to.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day everyone!
