War of the Weirds

Broomy forces Mystic to watch Bandersnatch, the interactive episode of the dark sci fi anthology show Black Mirror! They talk time loop logic, meta media, and weird one star reviews! Enjoy!

We wrestle with conspiracy theory thinking before we dive into Screamin' Jay Hawkins's beef with The Drifters, The National Casket Association, and how a war profiteer ended up creating the Nobel Peace Prize!!! It's a grand time!

Mystic takes us through the story of David Hahn, a boy scout whose unflappable dedication to scientific experiments led him to attempt to create a nuclear reactor and gained attention from the United States government! This story is told in retaliation to Broomy's story in the last episode "Screamin' Jay Hawkins" and a winner between the two shall be determined in this one! Huzzah!

Broomy takes hold of this episode with the story of Screamin' Jay Hawkins! Known for his song "I Put A Spell On You", not as known for his boxing career, being a prisoner of war, complex controversies, incredible performances, or his vast influence on music. We recorded such a powerful episode we had to split it into 2 with Mystic's topic coming at you in the next one!!!

Mystic wasn't quite done with strange prisoner stories or bizarre sporting events last episode so he comes up to bat with two related tales that will put the skin on your boots! Take a listen and find out what that means!

Mystic starts off this battle with a twisting tale of incarcerated baseball players and corruption! Broomy replies with a story of a town mostly populated by life sized dolls! Wild!

This time we dive deeper around one another's bizarre topics from the last battle! Mystic kicks us off with a few bizarre sudden animal deaths both explained and unexplained and gets shocked by a nature documentary. Broomy then dives deep into The Holy Foreskin, a religious relic that a certain Vatican doesn't want you to talk about! It's wild!

Boy howdy! What an episode! Broomy starts us off with a bizarre deadly natural phenomenon and Mystic lets us know the ins and outs of circumcision and the people trying to bring their foreskins back!

After one year of facing off the two warring factions come together to lay out the events brought forth through battle! Gather round and witness Mystic and Broomy's journey through the timeline of all the things we've talked about in this wonderous podcast!!!

Broomy's recent victory grants him the privilege to force Mystic to watch Killer Klowns From Outer Space! A film that has clowns, popcorn guns, terrible acting, deadly shadow puppets, and much more! Join us as we dive deep into this film, and see if we can escape without being covered in cotton candy!
