    Episode 146 - Buy Now! The Shopping Conspiracy

    In episode 146, the Erins ponder "Buy Now! The Shopping Conspiracy," available on Netflix. What's behind the need to constantly buy new, shiny things? Turns out its corporate greed. Marketing tactics are always getting better at removing any barriers to you buying stuff. Holiday time is especially charged, as we get ready for gift giving. Until now, there hasn't been much discussion on what happens to all the junk we make. Companies don't want you to know!

    Episode 144 - Inside the Labyrinth

    In episode 144, the Erins magic dance for "Inside the Labyrinth," available on Tubi. This doc chronicles the making of the 1986 film, Labyrinth. What makes this almost 40-year-old move so memorable? Perhaps it's the combined vision of Jim Henson and George Lucas bringing puppets and people together on screen. Perhaps it's the endearing characters and the amazing soundtrack. Either way, David Bowie's cod piece should have received an acting credit.

    Episode 142 - 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture

    In episode 142, the Erins finally find, "1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture," available on Prime Video. Christians reference biblical 'clobber' passages as a God sanctioned reason to hate on the LGBTQIA+ community. Turns out the good book got a mid-century tweak, which added 'homosexual' for the first time. While the scholars debated this mistranslation, the error was replicated and gained acceptance among the faithful. Divide continues to flourish as a result.

The Bell Witch is a well-known and relatively well documented haunting of a family in Adams, Tennessee. The tale escalates from mischievous knocking to the death of the family patriarch.

    Episode 139 - The Crypt Keeper Presents: A Spine-Tingling Look at Tales from the Crypt

    This week the Erins reminisce with "The Crypt Keeper Presents: A Spine-Tingling Look at Tales from the Crypt," available on YouTube. Among the best horror series ever made, Tale from the Crypt made the jump from comic to screen on HBO in the 90's. All the biggest names of the day flocked to kill, or be killed, often gruesomely. AND the Crypt Keeper kept it rolling with terrible puns and a hideous laugh.
