Crackpot Theories

This week sees us connecting the dots between gritty meth drama bomb Breaking Bad and super-shiny tweenage bait High School Musical. Does High School Musical make more sense when you put it in the context of a burnout's fever dream? Does crystal meth make you have intense recollections of your former schoolmates bursting randomly into song? And why does this episode have more donkey noises and technical difficulties classical music than normal? We blame Disney.

Natural disasters are well-known for not being especially cinematic, so Hollywood has had to ignore scientific fact in order to create a spectacle. But what if in the world of disaster movies, from Dante's Peak to 2012 and beyond, kaiju were responsible for each and every eruption, tremor and landslide? Is Rodan secretly huffing pyroclastic flow for recreational purposes? Did Godzilla cause the Poseidon Adventure just by swimming under the boat? Is Ghidorah creating tornadoes full of sharks to get an exciting snack?
The answer is, as usual, no. But we're going to speculate on it anyway!

Our second remotely-recorded episode once again tackles the frightening world of TV made for the pre-school demographic.
Is Captain Hook in the magical equivalent of a nursing home in Jake and the Neverland Pirates?
Where did all the humans go in Blaze and the Monster Machines?
And why does Lazytown make eating right and exercising seem so sinister?

This week's episode sees us making the bold claim that Batman's dealings with his rogues gallery may be shadier than expected...controversial, we know! Featuring banter about prison riots, extremely dedicated method actors, people who write to serial killers and Wonder Woman getting a job.
Content warning: This episode contains discussion of true life murder and assault cases and serial killers, along with some other unpleasant things too. None of it is graphic, but the warning stands to those who are of a squeamish disposition.

Back from hiatus with some more horror content!
We all know the legacy of the famous 'cursed' films... The Omen, The Exorcist, Poltergeist etc. But could the bad vibes surrounding those films been deliberately attracted by another set of iconic films? Ones that involved notorious fan of the occult Christopher Lee? Why did they have to make evil look so goddamn sexy?
Featuring special guest Ali Khamseh!
