In this episode, Aislinn takes Miranda on a journey analyzing the events surrounding one of the most cursed movies of our time: The Omen.  Is there any truth to the allegations that the devil was at work to stop the movie being made?  Can it all be chalked up to coincidence?  You be the judge.

Also, don't forget to check us out on Instagram @madderthanacaterpillar!  We're hosting a mini-series of dramatic readings in honor of the spookiest day of the year entitled I'll Tell You What... It's 13 Days Til Halloween.  Join us for the festivities!

The HAARP research facility in Alaska has performed some of the most informative research we have regarding the Earth's ionosphere.  Of course, with innovation comes conspiracy theories.  Did the US military construct it to try and weaponize our atmosphere?  Have they found a way to control our weather? Or are they seeking to flip the Earth's magnetic poles?

Aislinn brings the science, so you don't have to worry if you're not entirely sure what the ionosphere is.  Miranda, as always, brings the sarcastic comments, so you'll also have a lot of laughs.

It's an extra informative (and fascinating!) episode as we look into the incredible feats of the HAARP.

Aislinn and Miranda have their first guest!  Neither were prepared for the conspiracy he would bring with him. .

Josh drops in for a night of terror, Trump, and time travel. Could the American President be a time traveler?  Or could he possibly be an avid book reader?  Miranda severely doubts the latter.  Some things, however, are too strange to just be a coincidence. Prepare your ears...

This is Part 2 of 2. Regarding our Ted Bundy series. Ted Bundy was a messed up individual and should not be glorified in any way shape or form. He murdered 30 confirmed women throughout the 1970's and showed no remorse. He was truly “Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile” as they say.
