    S04E36 – Nefarious Stealth Evangelicalism?
    Jun 9 2025
    We’re joined by Matt Baxter to discuss what we thought was a horror film but turned out to be something quite different.Warning: This film and episode deal with suicide, murder, abortion, politics, religion, and pretty much most of the hot potato topics we generally try to eschew. Hopefully we do a decent job of discussing it.

    S04E34 - The Murder that Inspired Twin Peaks
    May 26 2025
    Jerry Drake returns to discuss his new book:
    Hazel was a Good Girl: The Murder that Inspired Twin Peaks

    Jerry has been with quite a few times to discuss Grimoires, Jack Parsons, The Hollow Earth, Internet Mysteries and Ghost Lights and we're excited to see what he makes of this real life unsolved murder with ties to one of the most influential shows to ever air on TV.

    This episode does discuss murder, sexual assault, and other sensitive topics. It's not really explicit but it might not be suitable for children, hence the tag.
