  • Episode 50: Can I Speak to the Manager of the Simulation?
    Jan 13 2026

    Episode 50 marks our return with existential dread, AI jokes, and an urgent request to speak to the manager of the simulation. We rant, ramble, and eventually settle into a spoiler-filled discussion of Frankenstein, questioning monsters, creators, and whether Guillermo del Toro went too far...or not far enough?


    Content warnings: discussions of death, violence, trauma, and existential themes.

    Spoiler warning: this episode contains full spoilers for Frankenstein (2025).

  • Episode 49: 2025 - A Year That Definitely Happened
    Dec 30 2025

    Out of all the years that have ever existed, 2025 was absolutely one of them.


    In this very loose end-of-year retrospective, we look back on the things we loved, the things we didn't and the things that we absolutely did not plan for.

  • Episode 48: Staring at Cthulhu Like an Idiot
    Nov 18 2025

    We dive into millennial chaos, QR-code culture, and the bold internet heroes who think they could stare at Cthulhu without going insane. Plus, book talk, horror tangents, and a chaotic game where we guess classic opening lines horribly mangled by Google Translate.
