On this episode, Brett tells the story of the first ever modern parachute jump in history. André-Jacques Garnerin is a man few have heard of but is basically the parachuting pioneer for ever skydiver in history. Then Josh deep dives into an emotionally-wrenching but incredibly thought-provoking and action packed science fiction in the apparently sci-fi peak year of 2009. This is a Neil Blomkamp directorial debut (and also a debut for star Sharlto Copley who gives in incredible performance) that you don't want to miss if you love complicated protagonists, scary South African gangs and terrifyingly evil mega-corporations. We are talking about the apartheid alien epic: District 9.

On this episode, Josh stumbles onto a reddit poll asking scientists what experiments that would do if morals and ethics were thrown out the window. Some ideas were surprisingly uncreative and others were predictably horrific. This is humanity we are talking about after all. That got Josh thinking about all the real life unethical experiments that must have actually occurred (and why do there always involve testicles?) Then Brett (and a special guest star???) sink their teeth into an absurd mockumentary style comedy series birthed from the undead brains of some wickedly funny New Zealand vampires: What We Do In The Shadows.

On this episode, Brett talks about the fascinating story of Nasubi, a man trapped naked in a windowless apartment with nothing available except the few items he won through mail-in sweepstakes. All in the name of Japanese reality TV! Then Josh brings up an old favorite movie of ours but pivots to recommend a bit of a network television sequel. Josh's candle burns bright on this Content Clearinghouse recommendation of the TV show: Limitless.

On this episode, Josh talks about the popularity of Batman and why the character (and somehow even the Penguin!) transcends the comic medium from which it originated. Then Brett talks about a lesser-known but incredibly unique Prime Original series with a non-linear timeline, a mixture of live action, animation and rotoscoping and of featuring none other than Bob Odenkirk. I knew Josh would get hooked with some Odenkirk. It's time for Season one of the adult animated psychological comedy drama television series (wow that's a mouth full): Undone.

On this episode, Brett tells his story of personally seeing an unidentified aerial phenomenon from the cockpit on a work flight. Was it space debris burning up or something more... strange?  Then Josh entertains and terrifies listernerologists with the lore of the possessed victims and the book which releases said evil spirits, the Deadites and Necronomicon respectively. This classic franchise has been "requeled" into the gripping and excellent horror duology: Evil Dead 2013 and Evil Dead Rise.

On this episode, Josh discusses the single most fatal accident in skydiving history. Let's just say we're grateful the sports is much safer with modern technology and better planning! Then Brett gets a hit of nostalgia while discussing one of his favorite childhood shows and why it does his favorite superhero justice, in the animated series: Batman Beyond.

By sheer coincidence, a team of researcher's taking an MRI of a patient made the first ever brain scan of a dying person. It is unclear how Josh's off-top discussion lead to our plans to form a cult (and eventually a bona-fide religion) but isn't everyone striving to pay less taxes? After that, Brett decides to pivot away from his plan of discussing a book about the Columbine school shooting and instead dives into one of his (and everyone's!) all-time favorite Star Wars films ever: The Empire Strikes Back.

It turns out the violent sci-fi film Snowpiercer (we recommended it on episode 42!) is straight up a SEQUEL to the 1970's children's classic Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. That is at least according to YouTuber Rhino Stew- it is a very compelling fan theory! Josh then discusses an amazing music-focused podcast that's all about the lesser-known dark side of famous bands musicians and all the criminal "shenanigans" they are getting up to. Josh man-crushes on Jake Brennan and his dulcet tones while discussing the American true crime music podcast: Disgraceland.

Aaaand we're back with more content recommendations after a year-long hiatus. We kick things off by jumping into a story about a naked skydiver and how his nudity helped inspire a life-saving invention for military pilots. Josh loves skydiving. And nudity! Then Brett travels the multiverse to help heap praise on a thrilling and fascinating best selling sci-fi book by Blake Crouch: Dark Matter.

Also, check out the skydiving Podcast Fall Risk from our friend Basqueezy! Josh appears on two fantastic episodes about skydiving and wind tunnel coaching. It's a great show for all our skydiver (and non-skydiver) listeners!
