August 10, 2021 Creatures of the Heat
As a man of self-described "yeti build", Luke is no great fan of the heat but he is a fan of heat/summer based folklore, including the Phoenix, Kunekune (the adorable pig AND the yokai), and Djinn to name a few. Join Luke and beat the heat with knowledge, or at least use the knowledge to distract you from the temperature.

June 22, 2021 Conjuring a Grudge: Haunted Houses On Film
Joni Mitchell may have been opposed to paving paradise and putting up a parking lot, but I bet she'd feel a lot different if there'd been an onryō running around in there, grudging up the place. On this episode, Luke makes a convincing case for getting into that big yellow taxi and going as far away as possible from the house which inspired the "Grudge" series. Along the way he stops to explore the reality (or not) of Amityville, Enfield, and a few other movie haunted houses as well.
