Rumors of our death have been greatly exaggerated! We're still going, just having some hiccups, kinda like the rest of the world.  

We open the door to the underexplained corners of Nerd and Geek culture—where a driveway TARDIS keeps you warm at the bus stop, Flash Gordon becomes a friendship hinge, and debates about whether Star Wars is science fiction or fantasy spark bet...

We celebrate our 159th with - among many Geeky things - a fast, funny tour of Star Trek’s dangling threads, from Tasha Yar’s exit to the lost “Conspiracy” arc, plus DS9’s long-game brilliance and Voyager’s resets. We field listener questions on...

...It's Erich Von Däniken. In the 1960's a Swiss hotelier wrote a book that changed how millions see the past—and how pop culture tells stories about it. We revisit the wild trajectory of Chariots of the Gods, the “ancient aliens” hypo...

RIP Gil Gerard. A New York cab, a day job in drama class, and a shot at the 25th century: that’s the unlikely runway that launched Gil Gerard into Buck Rogers, and it still glows with neon charm. We open the vault on Gerard’s early grind throug...

536 CE: What happens when the sun dims for eighteen months and summer never really arrives? The volcanic winter that blanketed much of the world in a cold, bluish haze, and the chain reaction it set off—failed harvests, famine, migrations, plag...

Cult Classic status doesn’t happen by accident—it’s engineered by obsession, scarcity, and a helluva lot of Weird. We set out to map that journey and name the films from the last decade that might evolve from overlooked curiosities into midnigh...

We trace how films become cult classics, from midnight screenings and VHS trades to streaming silos and algorithm feeds. We pull apart cult vs underground vs underseen, weigh the death of monoculture, and map how community keeps the weird and b...

Parties fall apart when they rely on luck. We turn the chaos of a live office bash into a step‑by‑step blueprint for a New Year celebration that feels immersive, welcoming, and unmistakably geeky. From the moment guests walk in, we want the roo...

A glowing red nose didn’t start as folklore—it started as copy. We follow Rudolph’s unlikely path from a 1939 Montgomery Ward booklet written by Robert L. May, forged in grief and grit, to Johnny Marks’ earworm melody and Gene Autry’s reluctant...

The holiday you know wasn’t born under twinkle lights. It was assembled—piece by piece—out of Star Wars, Sol Invictus and Saturnalia, immigrant folklore and Protestant pushback, department store spectacle and the irresistible pull of a good sto...

We open with the shock of Carrie-Hiroyuki Tagawa’s passing and step through the moments that defined him: a scene-stealing Shang Tsung in Mortal Kombat, a gallery of elegant villains across 80s and 90s action, and a deep, steady practice in mar...

A cold lab, stale air, and a wall of children’s drawings signal a mystery no tricorder can soothe: an entire colony erased without a trace. We follow the trail to a being that looks like a celestial snowflake and feeds like a storm—an immense c...

A cabin shakes in the night, boulders slam the walls, and a furry arm reaches for an axe—a century-old story that still echoes through American folklore. Today we go Squatchin' with Sunbow. From that 1924 Ape Canyon account to the g...

What keeps pulling us back to the grid when the box office never quite follows? We dive into the whole Tron continuum—from the 1982 cult seed and the overlooked Tron 2.0, through Joseph Kosinski’s neon‑sleek Tron Legacy and the bridge‑building ...

In a new miniseries all about the weird and/or esoteric we pull the thread back to The Law of One, a 1980s series of channeling sessions where researcher Don Elkins and collaborator Jim McCarty recorded Carla Ruckert in trance, speaking as an e...

Ever fall in love with a movie’s world while side-eyeing its logic? That’s the neon paradox of Tron. We dive straight into how Steven Lisberger’s Pong epiphany became a Disney gamble that pushed live action, backlit animation, and early CGI int...

We pull the curtain on what happens when iconic slashers, demons, and haunted houses try to survive network constraints, syndication deals, and the long tail of serialized storytelling. From cursed antiques pitched as Friday the 13th to Freddy ...

Fog curls over jagged granite and the tide keeps its own secrets—Maine feels like a place where myth, memory, and menace overlap. We head straight for that seam, weaving the state’s stark coastline and Wabanaki dawns into a guided tour of folkl...

Fog rolls in, the horizon narrows, and a silent ship drifts across the bow. We dive into the world of ghost ships, separating verifiable derelicts from enduring legends to understand why the ocean is such fertile ground for fear, folklore, and ...

A quiet New Year’s stroll at Miami’s Bayside turns into a story you feel in your bones—a swell of bodies running, a ripple in the air that won’t resolve, and a shape you can describe only in metaphors. We step into that moment on the linoleum, ...

Horror doesn’t hand down commandments from a mountaintop; it scavenges from headlines, folklore, and fear, then welds those scraps into images we can’t shake. We open the vault on a Halloween favorite to map where the genre’s “rules” actually c...

What if vampire movies weren’t just capes and candlelight, but living ecosystems of ideas—about infection, class, desire, grief, and the high that won’t let go? We pulled on that thread and followed it everywhere, from neon-soaked action to art...
