This episode we reflect on the events of 2016. For some reason we decided to discuss the multiple deaths, disappointing referendums and elections as well as many other things. Then we pray to Satan that 2017 is better than it's predecessor. We should've just wished we had dreamt the year.

In the late 50s Fidel Castro ascended to the role of Cuban Prime Minister and then the President, remaining in power for decades. During his reign he reformed healthcare and education but was also seen as a dictator who forced many Cubans to flee the country.

In 1977 Cathy Crowell informed a police officer that she had been viciously raped which resulted in the conviction of Gary Dotson.

Should Cathy have been convicted? Well, you'll find out over the course of the next hour.

*spoiler*

In this episode we state Dotson is only released but not pardoned for the crime which is incorrect, he was eventually pardoned. In 2002. Yes, that long after.

This week we talk about what scares us, including games, films and television. We also discuss what doesn't scare us and whether certain members of the dork team have sociopathic tendencies and/or are cyborgs. And we have a murderous member.

Yes, the murderous one is Matt.
