    Typhoid Mary: The Most Dangerous Woman in America

    In 1906, New York found itself in the grips of one of the worst outbreaks of typhoid fever in its history. After an extensive investigation, the outbreak would ultimately be traced to an Irish cook by the name of Mary Mallon, an asymptomatic carrier and super spreader of of the germ Salmonella Typhi. Mary Mallon's case represents an ongoing ethical dilemma with no clear answer to the question: Are one individual's personal freedoms more important than the safety of others?

    PATREON PREVIEW - Ahistorical Cinema: Braveheart (Or, Kiltin' It)

    In this preview of a Patreon exclusive episode, Katie & Luke discuss the film that launched Mel Gibson as cinema historian, "Braveheart". Enter the world of late stage 90's mullets, anachronistic costumes, and a blatant disregard for the real story of William Wallace. They can take our lives, but they can never take our freedom to nitpick. THANKS TO OUR TO PATREON SUBSCRIBERS! We couldn't do this without you.

Our historical accuracy film review series continues with a re-watching of the bloody blunderous commercial for the American Revolution that is The Patriot with Mel Gibson.

    Thomas Paine's Body

    The Morbid Museum returns with a special America 250 episode! In 1776, forgotten revolutionary and Founding Father Thomas Paine blazed a trail of powerful rhetoric with "Common Sense", a pamphlet that galvanized the citizens of British America to break away from the King. Two Hundred and Fifty years later, despite his remains being scattered in a hair-brained grave robbing plot and his reputation buried by detractors, Paine endures as a salient torch-bearer for the cause of America.

    The St. Valentine's Day Massacre

    On February 14th 1929, a gruesome murder scene was uncovered - 7 associates of the North Side Gang had been riddled with bullets while inside a garage. The crime horrified the people of Chicago, a city already beleaguered by years of gang wars that had begun in the wake of Prohibition. Considered an unsolved murder, the massacre will forever be remembered as the quintessential example of mob violence in the 1920s. THANKS TO OUR TO PATREON SUBSCRIBERS!
