Pop the corn and prep the proton packs... the Fate, Luck & Karma crew is back in the studio and returning to our geeky roots!

After our brush with the paranormal at Jamaica Inn, Dean, Jay, and Theo are diving headfirst back into the world of movies, merch, and intergalactic bickering. We’re trading ghost stories for cinema snacks and sci-fi obsession as we celebrate a massive milestone for the show.

In this episode, we’re breaking down:

• The Battle of the Buckets: From space helmets, swords and all points in between, we look at the weird, wonderful, and slightly unhinged world of movie-themed popcorn buckets.
• Masters of the Universe: We react to the new trailer. Is it the power of Grayskull we’ve been waiting for, or are we feeling more like Skeletor on a bad day?
• A Space Odyssey (with Groceries): We’ve fallen in love with Project Hail Mary, but there’s a catch. We can’t stop hearing Ryan Gosling’s ship AI as the "Unexpected Item in the Bagging Area" voice from a UK supermarket. Science is hard when you’re waiting for a staff member to verify your age.
• The Long Wait for the Busting: A bit of bad news for the Ghostbusters fans—we discuss the second delay hitting the Hasbro Plasma Series 1984 Proton Pack.
• The Global Takeover: We take a moment to celebrate a truly humbling achievement - reaching listeners in 103 countries worldwide!

Whether you're here for the high-tech gadgets or the high-street checkout voices, join us for a packed episode that proves reality is often weirder than fiction.

The fog is thickening and the shadows are growing longer. The Fate, Luck & Karma crew returns to the rugged landscape of Bodmin Moor for the second half of our deep dive into the legendary Jamaica Inn.

In Part Two, Dean, Jay, and Theo continue their conversation with Paranormal Custodian Karin Beasant, moving beyond the Inn's granite walls to explore the strange phenomena that haunt the surrounding wilderness and the terrified guests who have sought refuge within.

In this episode, we dive into:

• The Ghost in the Machine: Reports of a phantom vehicle that haunts the lonely moorland roads. What happens when a haunted car appears out of the mist, and where is it heading?
• Lights Over the Moor: We discuss the unexplained aerial phenomena and strange lights in the sky that have baffled locals and visitors for generations.
• The Soldier’s Retreat: A story of a guest so unnerved by the atmosphere inside the Inn that he refused to sleep in his room, choosing instead to spend the night huddled in his car.
• Freddie Flintoff’s Fright: We revisit the time the cricketing legend and TV star was so spooked by the Inn’s reputation that he forced a co-star to sleep on his floor because he couldn't face the darkness alone.
• A Bemused Spectator: Karin shares a fascinating account of a spirit in historical dress caught interacting with modern furniture, looking at living guests with as much confusion as they looked at him.
• The Thin Veil: More firsthand accounts of the eerie, the unexplained, and the "much more" that makes Jamaica Inn a magnet for the paranormal.

Is it a trick of the light, a flare-up of the imagination, or are the moors truly alive with the spirits of the past?

Listen now and find out why some doors are better left locked at the Jamaica Inn.

Pack your bags and mind the fog... the Fate, Luck & Karma crew is heading to the windswept Bodmin Moor.

In part one of this atmospheric takeover, Dean, Jay, and Theo step inside the granite walls of the legendary Jamaica Inn. Standing since 1776, this former coaching house is world-renowned for its ties to smugglers, its inspiration for Daphne du Maurier’s classic novel, and its reputation as one of the most haunted locations in the UK.

We are joined by a very special guest: Karin Beasant, the Inn’s dedicated Paranormal Custodian. Karin lives and breathes the history of this place, and she’s here to pull back the veil on the spirits that still roam the corridors.

In this episode, we dive into:

• The History & The Hollywood Connection: From 18th-century "wreckers" to the iconic book and Hitchcock film that put Jamaica Inn on the global map.
• The Phantom Footsteps: Karin recounts the chilling reports of wet footprints appearing from nowhere—the calling card of a mysterious "ghost girl" from the moors.
• The Playful Resident: Meet the resident male spirit who enjoys a bit of mischief with the guests. Is he a friendly ghost, or is there a darker side to his antics?
• Life as a Custodian: What it’s really like to work and sleep in a building where the past refuses to stay buried.

Whether you’re a sceptic or a true believer, join us as we explore the thin line between legend and reality at Cornwall’s most famous haunt.

Listen now and decide for yourself: Is it just the wind on the moors, or is someone - or something - following us?
