This episode Fitz teaches us about a variety of killer plant folklore (and "fakelore") that inspired many movies, books, and video games. The plants described specifically touch base on ones we know from the killer flowers in Jumanji, the Devil's Snare from Harry Potter, the Venus Fly Trap in Little Shop of Horrors, and (my personal favorite) vampiric plants which inspired the character Bunnicula.
Take a listen, you will be so glad you did!
