In this week's episode our heroes trace the origins of the horror genre back to an exceedingly impactful evening in 1815 Sweden whereupon a night of creepy storytelling birthed a collection of creatures that would alter the literary terrain forever. We also have another morbidly entertaining sexy-wexy timey-wimey installment of our My Immortal theater to break your brain as well! Join us, won’t you? Sources:

On this week's installment, our heroes delve into the depraved motivations that aided in the creation of the Temporary Autonomous Zone... Rowbotham returns, Jon is unemployed again, Michael is mealy-mouthed (as always), Shane is plagued by Papa Roach, children are in danger should Hakim Bey get his way, and it turns out Seattle did not technically have a TAZ after all.  Finally, we resolve the episode with another dizzying edition of My Immortal that is sure to leave you feeling, at the very least, dyslexic.

On this week's installment, our heroes delve into the bizarre and disturbing case of Ervil LeBaron and The Church of the Firstborn Lamb of God. Hear about murder, mayhem, theft, betrayal, fratricide, incest and insanity in a tale we are dubbing God in 60 Seconds, aka Christ's Mafia, aka Heavenly Godfather. There's talk of the current cultural climate, an installment of F#ck, Marry, Kill, and more My Immortal nonsense as well! Tune in and enjoy! Sources:

On this week's thought-evoking edition, Shane allows Rian Johnson back into his good graces, our crew chats a bit about Limp Bizkit, has a cutting encounter with Manscaped, talk testicles, take a moment to weigh-in on the country's current climate and significant events on a more serious note, discuss the merits of weeping while watching movies, yet again turn into a Stephen King podcast, ask if Michael has aspergers, plough through another unbearably incoherent installment of My Immortal, and even attempt their first serious stab at a new recurring segment : F#&k, Marry, Kill. Now with 43% more Michael!!!!  Show Notes:Limp Bizkit's Significant Other album coverIntro:Cold Sober by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/3523-cold-soberLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/My Immortal Theme:Discovery Hit by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/3656-discovery-hit License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Outro:Semi-Funk by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/4333-semi-funkLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

In another conniving and cannibalistic episode, our heroes investigate the cinematic enigma that is Blood Circus Wrestling. Filled with angels, aliens, grapplers, decapitations, blood, brawls and mayhem, it's a story you need to hear to disbelieve. Saddle up, grab your scream bag, and sing along to the crooning of Santo Gold as we discuss the film that fraud built.  Show Notes:Williams, AZ isn't as close to the Grand Canyon as Mike thoughtBusinesses still have to care about their employees, for now.Because Mike has neglected to fully define Mary Sue.  Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_Circus_(film)http://www.baltimoreorless.com/2011/01/fools-gold-santo-rigatuso-the-man-with-the-four-way-lips/https://lostmediawiki.com/Blood_Circus_(partially_found_Santo_Gold_film;_1985)https://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2006/07/santo_golds_blo.htmlhttps://lostmediawiki.com/images/1/10/Bloodcircus-handbill.jpghttps://www.newspapers.com/image/?clipping_id=47034029&fcfToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJmcmVlLXZpZXctaWQiOjEyMDE2MjY0OSwiaWF0IjoxNTg5NDE0ODM3LCJleHAiOjE1ODk1MDEyMzd9.RZ16xbg0eFeEYSnaIvQ5a2uN2XkvIwJ4pBSglwsUbmwhttp://www.infomercial-hell.com/santo-gold/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GM6jlqPt9k&feature=emb_titleIntro:Heroic Adventure by Rafael KruxLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/5885-heroic-adventure License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ My Immortal Theme:Discovery Hit by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/3656-discovery-hit License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Outro:Semi-Funk by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/4333-semi-funkLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

By the mae mae, we bring you another tear-jerking episode wherein our heroes perpetually interrupt one another, delve deeply into the Alien anthology, return to the world of Stephen King by re-entering the Dark Tower, take a Stand, meet Dildo Gaggins, finish up American Gods, film the introductory episode of Creating A Troll, act as apologists for last week's abomination, endorse Dead by Daylight, catch up with another installment of My Immortal, and kick out another hyperthetical to wrap up the week like a hate-filled burrito.  Sources:Uberman Sleep Cycle - Probably will cover in later episodehttp://www.27bslash6.com/ - That trolling-esque website Shane mentions Intro:Cruising for Goblins by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/3565-cruising-for-goblins License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/  My Immortal Theme:Discovery Hit by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/3656-discovery-hit License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Outro:Semi-Funk by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/4333-semi-funkLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Listen all y’all, it’s sabotage! This week our heroes plunge into the briny depths of a plot to sink some heavy water, marvel at Knut’s sack-dropping skills, meet the Ferry Watchman, discuss madness in Tempe eateries, evaluate British intelligence, learn more than they ever wanted to about nuclear fission, make a bassist cry, and then peruse a slew of new seedy circumstances in their ongoing exploration of My Immortal.  Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_heavy_water_sabotageThe Making of the Atomic Bomb - Richard RhodesShow Notes:An article on that Casa bar ridiculousnessIntro Music : Off to Osaka by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/4154-off-to-osakaLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/My Immortal Theme:Discovery Hit by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/3656-discovery-hit License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Outro:Semi-Funk by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://filmmusic.io/song/4333-semi-funkLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
