    Welcome to our random movie review of The Grudge. But anyway- Jack goes Swiftie and prophosizes that Jana will like this episode. We learn the mythological tale of Cassandra and how obnoxious Apollo is. Is Jana psychic? Then Jana takes us to the Mitten state, this one is for you Flamme, telling us about the creature known as the Dogman. Including video evidence, a song, and a government conspiracy!

    Oct 27 2024

    Happy Halloween episode!

    Trigger Warning: Violence against pregnant women & infant mortality


    Jack tells us the worst story possible for halloween so now we are all sad and...confused. As we focus on a lion-headed winged demon Jack throws a monkey wrench into the nightmare and adds donkey teeth? Then Jana squirms her way through a curious tale of the Mongolian Death Worm! Watch out for wave patterns in the sand and the exploding poisonous corrosive spit. Also- can you spot where Jack gets told with my eyeballs not to EAT on the Pod!?
