    Become a Patron and Get Early Access to Ad-Free Episodes: https://www.patreon.com/tillnpodcast Roar is not your typical movie. It wasn't made with trained animal actors. Instead, the filmmakers used real, wild animals like lions, tigers, and elephants. The cast and crew worked with these animals for eleven years! That's right—eleven years of living and filming with untrained wild animals. The movie features scenes that are both scary and exciting. The actors weren't just pretending to be scared—they were indeed in danger. Making Roar was a considerable risk for everyone involved.

    Secret Space Program | Are You an Alien Super Soldier?

    Become a Patron and Get Early Access to Ad-Free Episodes: https://www.patreon.com/tillnpodcast The Secret Space Program conspiracy theory is certainly one of the more outlandish ones out there. At its core, it involves the idea that a secret human civilization and space program has operated mostly in secret since the late 1800s. This all traces back to a fictional novel written under a pseudonym by a woman named Maria Orsic in 1871. The book outlines the idea that aliens came to Earth long ago and bred with humans to create a superior race.
