It's the last episode of Season 1! Man, time flies when you're talking about aliens and murder. In this episode, Melissa explores the legend of Bigfoot - or BigTootsies, as Liz would say. Then Liz takes us down the rabbit hole of sadness and intrigue that is the unsolved murder of JonBenet Ramsey.

When we said you should up-cycle, we didn't mean like that! This week Liz is talking about Ed Gein - the notorious killer who got crafty with the skin and body parts of his victims. Gag. Then, fueled by 1.21 gigawatts of power, Melissa spins a yarn about a man named Sergei Ponomalenko; a man who claims to have time-traveled 50 years into the future. Do we believe him? Hop in the Dolorian kids, this is wild one!

This week we're here to make you think. Melissa and Liz both chose topics that have many layers and much to dissect. First, Melissa talks about the Near Death Experience of Mary Neal, MD., and the many questions and mysteries that surround the topic of life after death. Then, Liz discusses the case of Gilberto Valle - a man who openly fantasized about his cannibalistic desires in online forums, even bringing his wife and baby into the mix. This one raises a lot of questions on where we draw the line when it comes to freedom of speech and freedom of thought.

This week we leaned HEAVILY into the "odd" side of things. First, Liz tells us the story of a murder that is possibly linked to a strange cult-like group called the Orgone Warriors who warn their followers about “reptilian” extraterrestrials living secretly as humans. Yikes. Then, Melissa serves up another strange topic: Objectum Sexuality. People who identify as Objectum Sexuals find themselves sexually attracted to inanimate objects like dolls, buildings, and carnival rides. Double yikes. This is a weird one, y'all - are you here for it?
