Magical Mystery Radio: Inane Ramblings from the Fringe

I was here so I had to post something!

That is all.

[8/3/2020] We discuss cancel culture, the masons, breakaway civilizations, secret moon colonies... and one fascinating, mythical "lost" film from the 80s that ties it all together!

We review the documentary CALLING ALL EARTHLINGS. And then we do it one better by actually covering the material that should have been in the movie. This is the story of George Van Tassel, eccentric, contactee, engineer... genius? Did Van Tassel channel messages from our alien brothers and sisters and use the information to construct a time machine? Join us and find out!

Is an advanced race of tall, albino-like extraterrestrials from Arcturus living on the Nevada test range? Has our government struck a deal with the aliens to obtain advanced military technology? Take a deep dive with us as we chronicle this fascinating, seemingly implausible story from one man who claims it's all true!

We discuss several recent "documentaries" occupying the twilight zone between fantasy and reality. Are these films omens? Augurs of a dark future?

Are we moving into a new dark age of superstition? Is the consensus reality of post-enlightenment reason vanishing in a post-modern haze of news and subjective reality?

And why are the French f*cking with us?

Oh, and John gets a visit from an owl.

COVID-19. Coronavirus. What else is there to talk about?

It's end of the world as we know it, and we feel mostly pretty okay.

• The WEIRDEST inventions of all time.
• John revises his predictions for the upcoming year.
• When you're too stupid to know you're stupid... 
• "Mad Mike" Hughes - why the words "homemade" and "rocket" should never appear together in the same sentence (except maybe this one).
• John and Adam discuss 80s horror (plus War of the Worlds).
• Breaking: Man throws snowball at this friend and hits him in the face!

Thirty years of Simpsons predictions: Did the venerable animated series really forecast Kobe's helicopter crash, the coronavirus epidemic, and Disney's acquisition of Fox (not to mention a bunch of other stuff)?  The Cotopaxi went missing in the Bermuda Triangle nearly a century ago. Now it's been found. You know it as the ship the aliens dropped in the desert in Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind. What's the REAL story?

The US government declares that releasing any further information about the Nimitz UFO sightings would "gravely damage" national security. Why? What are they hiding?

Adam revisits the films of John Hughes. This turns into a discussion of evolving ethical standards in media - and of diversity in the arts. 

And John talks about Bigfoot. Again.

Adam talks Star Wars (again). John talks politics (again). But really he's talking conspiracy, because what is politics but conspiracy? Right? Did you know the Pied Piper legend was based on fact? Seriously, it was. Check it out. John and Adam review their lame and boring predictions from last year, and make new lame and boring predictions for the coming year. Well, there is one fairly bold prediction... Listen and find out what it is!

Happy Whatever!
