Join Aimee and Nathan as they get ready for regionals and discuss whether the cast of Glee is really cursed, or whether its just a coincidence.

    Season 2 Episode 1: The Curse of Tippecanoe

    Season 2 Episode 1: The Curse of Tippecanoe

    We kick off season 2 by diving into a Shamanistic curse placed on the highest office of the home of the braved the land of the free, and the birthplace of the humble cheeseburger. It’s been known by many names, Tecumseh’s Curse, the Curse of Tippecanoe, the Zero-Year Curse, the Twenty-Year Curse. No matter what you call it, the legend remains.

    This legend tells that every president elected in a year ending in zero – from William Henry Harrison to John F. Kennedy was destined to die in bizarre, untimely and often tragic ways.

    Join Nathan and Aimee as they climb back into the curse-mobile to discuss toxic masculinity, Australian Prime Minister fitness routines and determine once and for all whether or not Tecumseh’s curse is just a coincidence.

    "Kinda Cursey" - Madame LaLaurie

    Well it sure has been a while Cursed Crew! For our first episode back, we’re setting fire to the whole formula. Forget what you knew about ‘Curse or Coincidence?’, we’re off script this week and WE’RE NEVER COMING BACK! (Until next week)



    This week, Aimee tells Nathan about a sorta, kinda, cursey historical figure, New Orleans own high society serial killer, Madame LaLaurie.



    How do Haitian uprisings, romance blossoming in a chiropractor’s offices and Nicholas Cage even remotely relate to each other? You’ll have to tune in to find out! Served with the ultimate content warning, this one is certainly not for the feint of heart or weak of stomach.

    Episode 14: The Curse of Timur's Tomb

    Episode 14: The Curse of Timur's Tomb

    This week, Aimee and Nathan talk about a warlord and nobleman who controlled a vast swath of Asia during the 14th century. Timur (aka Tamerlane) was renowned as a military tactician whose warfare killed some 17 million people.

    Fast forward 400 years, when Joseph Stalin commissioned a team to exhume Timur’s body and bring it back to the Soviet Union. Just two days after the opening of the Timur’s tomb, Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union. Coincidence? Some say the exhumation set in motion a prophecy that would change the course of history.

    Join us as we discuss Boomer Facebook etiquette, Disney’s story inspo and try to figure out whether Timur’s Tomb was really cursed, or if it was just a coincidence.

    Episode 13: The Lee Family Curse

    Episode 13: The Lee Family Curse

    WE'RE BACK!  This week we close the book on our last episode about The Crow, and discuss the Lee Family Curse while also making some time to theorise who or what may be responsible for our own recent wave of bad luck (not naming names, Robert the doll).  

    The Lee Family Curse is the legend of an ancient Chinese curse some believe was responsible for the untimely deaths of Brandon Lee and his infamous father, martial arts legend Bruce Lee.  It has been said that Bruce’s family were deeply superstitious, and believed an evil spirit was following them and targeting their children. Join us as we discuss nepo babies, fortune cookies and dank pits, while trying to figure out if Bruce and Brandon were really cursed, or if it was all just a coincidence.
