    1 hr 5 min
  • The Lieutenant Of Bullfighting & The Double Agent Of Sex Appeal

    It's a spy thriller this episode! Luis tells Kurt about two extraordinary spies of the mid-20th century: a sexy Spanish bullfighter takes on fascism, and a Serb that traveled all through Europe in a distinct "loose and easy manner."

    Content warning: there's a LOT of J. Edgar Hoover slander in this episode.

    1 hr 14 min
  • The Cambridge Killer & The Forbidden Slice

    It's time to get spooky! In this special Halloween episode Kurt tells Luis about the brutal murders that shook Victorian Cambridge, and the author/med student/restaurant critic who tasted freedom. Both of the stories, and some of Luis's comments on the ethics of eating people, have a very "seemed like a good idea at the time" kind of feel to them. 

    51 min
  • The Traveling Bohemians & The Battle For Booby Island

    Luis tells Kurt about a Czech business owner who gave up a life in the adult industry for a life... in the adult industry? This episode we also talk about the land dispute for an island of the coast of the Americas. "The Maldives?" I hear you asking. Oh no no no. This is its (frankly, dumber) prequel that everyone forgot about.

    1 hr 8 min
  • 5-Star Shed & The Kangaroo Custody Battle

    It's the first episode of a new season and the celebration is in full swing! Kurt tells Luis about the accidental genius that tricked the internet, and a strange experiment that led to an even stranger court case. 

    Luis spends most of the episode flirting with cancellation like it's Natalie Portman, meanwhile Kurt can't seem to stop making jokes about psychology in the 60s. Neither of the boys seem particularly interested in talking about the actual stories. Also look out Britain and Dr. Zimbardo, we're coming for you in this episode (apparently?)

    54 min
  • Wild West Diaspora Lesbians & The Great Arizona Desert Chase

    Kurt takes a well-deserved break as special guest and Queen of the Southwest Elaina Richards ("In Other News...") tells Luis two rootin', tootin' stories from the great Arizona plains, from giving the Catholic Church the finger, to trying to survive in the desert without water. Very sandy, very fun.

  • True Tales: Girls Gone Yarr & Man Corn Stew (Season 1 Finale)

    Oh boy is there a lot going on in this episode! Kurt tells Luis about two female pirates who plundered, pillaged, and girl-bossed their way through the Caribbean, while Luis tells Kurt about the dark (but tasty) origins of a famous Mexican food. Also the boys play some end-of-season games, and the fate of this season's loser is determined.

    1 hr
  • The Roman Lakeside Navy & The Bamboo Dong Cannon

    Luis tells Kurt all about the best bromance in the Classical Roman world, as well as the invention of gunpowder and the explosive (ha!) religious ceremonies that involved this magical go bang bang powder.

    Mind you, there's plenty of penis talk this episode, and yet, surprisingly little devolution into playground humor.

About Unbelievable!

From the publisher's feed

Luis and Kurt take turns telling each other two unbelievable historical stories, one true and one fake, and letting the other try to guess which is which.
