We had Kieran from Best Picture Cast and Jeremy from Paranormal New Normal on the show, and let me tell you - this conversation went everywhere. Kieran dropped some knowledge about underrated Oscar winners and we got into it about whether The Godfather is actually overrated (spoiler: I still think it is). Jeremy brought the wild paranormal stories, including some insane tale about Velociraptor aliens in World War II that left us speechless.

I threw a game at them testing whether they could spot real obscure Academy Award winners from fake ones, and they actually did pretty well. We covered everything from our first movie theater experiences to hot takes on Star Wars, plus our theories about dimensional beings and ancient maps showing Antarctica before it was supposedly discovered. The whole thing wrapped up with our musical guest Kieran Ellis performing an original song. This is exactly the kind of random, passionate discussion we love on The Right Now Show - where pop culture meets the paranormal and nobody knows where we're headed next.

Kieran: Best Picture Cast

Host Sky debuts his new late-night variety show with guest co-host Jokey Pants  and guest Stew from SWO Productions, who reviews comic book movies and once interviewed WWE's Tyler Breeze. The trio dives into childhood cartoon favorites, shares controversial movie opinions (including why the first Spider-Man movie might actually suck), and plays "Celebrity Baby Name or Pokémon" - a game that reveals just how ridiculous the Kardashian family naming conventions really are.

Plus: opening monologue jokes about TikTok trout and AI takeovers, passionate defenses of terrible horror sequels, nostalgic deep dives from What an Oddcast, and a heartfelt "fuck cancer" moment. Featuring musical guest Bitter Plan with "Truth" and all the chaotic energy of podcasters launching a new format.

"It's the Tonight Show, but for people who think Battlefield Earth is underrated and have strong opinions about Velma."

The show captures that authentic late-night talk show feel but with the scrappy, unpolished charm of indie podcasters cross-promoting each other's work.

Join hosts Sky, Red, and Blue in this special remembrance episode dedicated to Dom, who inspired the very first episode of the show. This heartfelt journey through UFO mysteries serves as both a tribute to their first listener and an exploration of the unexplained aerial phenomena that have puzzled humanity for decades.

The trio examines several pivotal moments in UFO history:

The hosts also explore connections between ancient civilizations, dragon mythology across cultures, and testimonies from figures like Bob Lazar, who claims to have worked on reverse-engineering alien technology at Area 51.

This episode captures the essence of what made Dom love the show - that perfect mix of skepticism and wonder that keeps us asking "what if?"

Note: This episode features older audio quality from the show's early days, before the new microphone setup.

We have a new episode in the works coming soon!

This one's for you, Dom. Thank you for believing in us from the beginning.

Best of WKMU: Classic Episodes We Love

Due to the recent passing of our dear friend Dom to cancer, we'll be taking a step back from new episodes for the next few weeks, possibly a month. Dom was our very first listener and biggest supporter - he followed "What Keeps Me Up At Night" from day one and was the inspiration that kept us going when we wondered if anyone was actually listening. While we're committed to keeping the podcast alive in his memory, we need some time right now to process and heal.

Join Blue, Red, and Sky as they dive deep into vampire mythology, from Bram Stoker's Dracula to True Blood, debating everything from whether vampires are just fancy zombies to why they can't see their reflections. Expect tangents about the early internet, philosophical discussions about eternal loneliness, and heated arguments about Japanese floating vampire heads. It's vintage WKMU - equal parts educational and completely unhinged.

This episode reminds us why we started this podcast: to explore the weird, wonderful things that keep us up at night, knowing there are friends like Dom out there listening and loving every chaotic minute of it.

We'll be back soon. Until then, check on your friends, and remember - everyone deserves love, even you.

A What Keeps Me Up At Night classic, dedicated to Dom

What's up, Earth! Sky here filling in for Blue on Cross Dimension, and I've got Skoob from "Undiscovered Entrepreneurs" joining me to dive into some seriously weird UFO stuff - but we're not talking your typical Roswell garbage. We're going way back to the 1800s when America was becoming America and apparently something strange was already happening in our skies. If David Grusch is right about the feds harboring nonhuman craft since the nineteenth century, then we need to look at what was really going down back then.

We're talking glowing orbs crashing in Maryland in 1865 with Washington suits showing up during Civil War chaos, whirring craft in Missouri dropping metal with hieroglyphics, and the big one - Aurora, Texas in 1897 where a cigar-shaped airship crashed into a windmill. The townspeople actually buried the nonhuman pilot and named him Ned! They gave this little guy Christian rites and everything. But here's what's really cooking my brain - how did government cleanup crews know to show up so fast back when there were no phones or radios?

Skoob and I get into whether these crashes explain the massive tech jumps in the 1800s, the Great Airship Wave of 1896-1897, and why we keep seeing the same weird aluminum-like metal and hieroglyphics in story after story. Something was definitely going on, and I'm not buying the weather balloon explanations. Check in on yourself, check in on your friends, and remember - everyone deserves love, especially you

Our mom is currently in the hospital, facing complications from surgery to remove a brain tumor, so we’re re-dropping this episode to mark the anniversary of the moon landing. Join us, Sky and Blue, on 87.9 WKMU, "What Keeps Me Up," as we plunge into the rabbit hole of the moon landing hoax theory, sparked by our listener Dominic’s brilliant idea. We dig into the doubts surrounding the Apollo missions, particularly the challenge of navigating the Van Allen radiation belts and whether aluminum and Kevlar shielding could truly protect against cosmic rays. The plot thickens as we uncover eerie UFO stories, from the 1947 Roswell crash to strange shape-memory metals found in New Mexico and Brazil, leading us to speculate if alien technology played a role in reaching the moon. With a big shout-out to our favorite YouTube channel, The Why Files, and our usual dose of quirky tangents and humor, this episode blends conspiracy, curiosity, and a touch of cosmic wonder. Tune in for a far-out journey that’ll keep you up at night!

Good morning, Earth! While Sky and Blue work through some technical difficulties, we're bringing you a special compilation of our most memorable moments of all time.
