    Now that's what I call 'Slashing Budgets' - The Infamous 'Roar' Film

    The most dangerous movie ever made. Probably not a title you really want, but once you hear this story you'll realise it was all but inevitable. This week John takes Aaron and Sean through the crazy story of the film that was inspired by a house over-run by wildlife - Roar. Also a quick note - we won't have an episode next fortnight as we take a break for a busy Christmas period.   Find the video version on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@CheekyTalesPod   Find us on social media: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/cheekytalespod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cheekytalespod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cheekytalespod/

    Priviledge Doesn't Make You A Good Guy - Puyi, China's Last Emperor

    Sometimes the crazy guy cleaning the street telling you he's a former Emperor isn't so crazy after all. This week join us as Sean takes Aaron and John through the story of the last Emperor of China, Puyi. Listen as he spends his formative years in a strange life, then his middle years in exile, then his final years being reprogrammed by the new regime and then in hiding.   Also, please don't ever assume the crazy guy telling you he's a former Emperor is actually former Emperor. He's not.   Find the video version on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@CheekyTalesPod   Find us on social media: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/cheekytalespod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cheekytalespod Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cheekytalespod/

    Mass murders are rare in Australia, which is why the fire at the Whiskey Au Go Go nightclub in Brisbane has had such an enduring legacy.

    The Ultimate Surival Story With a Lil Icky Bit - Uruguayan Flight 571

    Most people think a plane crash is the worst thing that can happen on a flight, but what if you survived the crash only to find yourself isolated from the rest of the world, in the snow above the tree line, with only a few tins of mussels and chocolate for food. Well that's the awful situation that the survivors of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 found themselves in. Join Aaron as he takes us through another icky tale, with John and Sean suitably horrified at the things they hear.
