  • Crop Circles | Elaborate Hoax or Alien Messages?!

    Few things remind us that we may not be alone, like the weird phenomenon of crop circles!

    With some reports going back centuries, crop circles gained prominence in the late 1970s, and took the world and our imaginations by storm.  Even with some claiming to have perpetrated elaborate pranks in farmer's fields, many people still believe that something paranormal is afoot.  Today JD explores the history of these truly weird occurrences!

  • Unhinged Movies | Eraserhead

    The time has come again to dive into strange cinema!

    JD is joined again by The Ghost for a creepy edition of Unhinged Movies, diving into the 1977 surrealist horror film, Eraserhead!

    Both JD & The Ghost consider themselves cinephiles, so it was odd that neither had seen this weird cult classic before, and after watching it, both are pretty sure that they understand it even less than they had before!

    From the bleak & desolate atmosphere, to the use of eerie soundscapes in place of a score, to...whatever the baby is, and the creepy singing lady that lives in a radiator, David Lynch's black & white journey into madness is truly a strange viewing, and can only be described...as an Unhinged Movie!

  • Alien Autopsy | The Footage That is Out of This World!

    In the mid 90s, a music producer from the UK came out with a film that shook the UFO seeking world to its core.  A 17 minute black and white movie, depicting an autopsy of an extraterrestrial from the Roswell crash in the 1940s.  The film was presented as authentic, and swore that we were all watching the real deal!

    Combined with a full-length documentary starring Jonathan Frakes, the world watched in awe, while nerds and weirdos everywhere rejoiced.  But was it real, or just a very elaborate hoax?

    JD looks at the history of the footage and the evidence that was presented as proof, and is joined by his new little alien sidekick, Larry.

    What do you think...?
