S3E2 - The History of Black Sabbath Pt. 1: The Rise

What other band in history has had as weird and batshit a history as Black Sabbath? Other than some of the groups from the Scandinavian Black Metal scene, very few. Trust us. We start a three-part series on the Lords of Darkness that invented metal and came from very humble beginnings. We talk about Ozzy's time in prison, Tony's hand accident, Anton LeVay's San Francisco parade, and of course, DRUGS. Hope you enjoy! Wheeeeeeeee

S3E1 - Masque of the Red Death (Short Story, 1842)

Ever wanted to impress that big tiddy goth in psych class? Well, here's a not as famous Edgar Allen Poe work to intrigue with. MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH is a chilling but excellent little tale about a selfish prince and a raucous party. This episode we discuss Poe's life, the allegories of color and time, American Romanticism, and...well kayfabe. Love you all! We're glad to be back.

S2E9 - Night of the Living Dead (1968)

George A. Romero's first foray into the deep dark recesses of the "zombie apocalypse" subgenre surprised audiences of all kinds in 1968. Night of the Living Dead is a testament to what you can do with a minimal budget and a completely unique idea: basically create a new type of movie entirely. Night of the Living Dead is a sleeper hit of the highest order. Nobody, not even Romero, was prepared for how big it would be and how it essentially change the landscape of the horror genre from that point on...

S2E8 - Jaws (1975)

Yeah, we're finally doing it. What could even be typed in this description that you haven't already heard or known about one of the most iconic movies ever made? Jaws is a monolith in film history but rather easy to tackle from a purely informational standpoint. However, should we simply ignore how relevant it is to this very particular time in history? Guess again. Buckle up for an episode that might hit a little too close to home.

S2E7 - The Yeti Part II: Theories

Here's the second and final part of our series on the Yeti! This episode we discuss some interesting theories including bears, neanderthals, and, well, aliens. Nothing is solved and we goof off even more, but hopefully you still find it informative! Enjoy!
