What could go wrong? Well, to many like us, the ending did and tonight we give you our interpretation of how we would end "The Monster Project," currently streaming on Tubi and Amazon Prime. What did you think of the movie and how it ended? Would you rewrite it? Let us know what you thought of our ideas and what you would come up with.

The Nopeming Sanatorium

We are back this week with the haunted location, Nopeming Sanatorium. Once called "the Waverly Hills of Minnesota," it opened in 1912 to house tuberculosis patients. In 1971 it was converted to a nursing home then closed officially in 2002. Hundreds of patients passed thru Nopeming's doors in the 90 years it was open, both amongst the living and the dead. If patients didn't die from TB, they jumped to their deaths from the 4th floor. Some patients were even reportedly burned alive in the crematorium on site. The Sanatorium now houses the spirits of patients and employees that still still remain long after they died there. We hope you tonight's spooky location story.

The Zizians (A Cult)

A Border patrol agent in Vermont. An 82 year old landlord in California. 2 people murdered 3000 miles apart are discovered to be connected to a cult made up of highly educated young computer scientists obsessed with veganism, animal rights, and theories about the nature of human consciousness. Tonight we are talking about the Zizians, an offshoot of the "rationalist" movement that believe in timeless decision theory, may be responsible for more than those 2 murders & are being called a death cult. All of this is new and still alleged, but we'll discuss tonight what has been reported on so far. Stay tuned.

WTF Was That Ending - Part 1

Tonight is the start of a new series in our podcast titled, "WTF was that Ending?!" where we, Becky and Casper, rewrite the conclusion to some of our horror favorites that had endings we just didn't agree with. The first film in this series is the 2010 supernatural mockumentary The Last Exorcism. The ending to this found footage demonic thriller was very controversial so we give you our take on how we would finish it. Let us know your thoughts or how you would end The Last Exorcism yourself.

The Substance

Movie Review Night! WARNING: SPOILERS! Tonight we are reviewing & discussing The Substance, starring Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley and Dennis Quaid. A body horror film that centers around Elizabeth Sparkle a fading movie star that after being fired by her producer for her age uses a black market serum called The Substance to inject herself with in order to create a "younger, more beautiful, more perfect" version of herself. This movie has a powerful message with all the gore a slasher fan needs. We gave it a 10 out of 10 & agree it was the standout of 2024 horror films. What did you guys think?
