🎃 Get ready for a Halloween special filled with spooky laughs and questionable judgment calls as we tackle Smash or Pass: Horror Villains!

Join us as we examine horror’s most infamous baddies and ask the ultimate question: would you run for your life or take a chance on "love"?

From slasher icons to supernatural fiends, no villain is off-limits in this lighthearted game of terrifying ‘what ifs.’ Buckle up for laughs, chills, and a healthy dose of horror-loving humor!

In this episode, we dive into the fascinating and legally complex world of human remains. From the strict laws preventing the keeping of bones to the eerie allure of necromancy, we explore its origins in ancient Greece. We tackle the bizarre case of the witch who stole bones from New Orleans' Holt Cemetery, sparking a scandal known as "Bonegazi". Plus, we touch on the grim history of resurrectionists and the life of Grandison Harris, a man who was both a gravedigger and a medical assistant. Join us for a bone-chilling journey through history, magic, and the macabre.

Happy Indigenous People's Day!

In this episode, we expose the unsettling truth about stolen Indigenous peoples' remains in some of the world’s most renowned museums, including the Smithsonian, the American Museum of Natural History, and the Illinois State Museum.

We dive into the ethical and legal battles surrounding the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), a law designed to return these sacred remains to their rightful communities.

Kiki touches on the erroneous pseudo-science of phrenology and how it led to a glut of both legal and questionably obtained skulls in museums across the country.

Wrapping up, we touch on the curious case of Stone Man Willie, a case of experimental embalming that led an unfortunate soul to be a funeral home attraction for over 120 years.

Join us for a sobering discussion on the past’s lingering injustices and the ongoing struggle for Indigenous rights.
