We discuss the concept of HBO's The Last of Us, in honor of the season one finale that aired Sunday night. Due to the warming climate, could the very real Cordyceps fungi (AKA zombie-ant fungi) somehow evolve to infect humans like it infects insects, essentially turning us into a race of mind-controlled zombies? No spoilers, promise - we only talk about the premise of the show (which is revealed in the first five minutes of the pilot). Tell us your thoughts - should we be worried?!

In 2018, 33 scientists published a paper in a scientific journal arguing that octopus eggs and/or viruses were carried to earth by a comet that crashed during the Cambrian explosion millions of years ago, seeding the planet with these creatures.

FYI we'll be going away for a couple weeks - thanks for being awesome and see you on March 14th!

The Uncanny Valley is an eerie or unsettling feeling experienced in response to something that is not-quite-human. Before dolls, animations, and robots were even invented, did it somehow serve our ancestors to weed out things that closely resembled humans beings (but were not)?

What's possibly worse than the CIA doing unethical experiments on unwilling people in their pursuit of mind control (MKULTRA)? Welcome to Project Artichoke, where the CIA did all of the above, but specifically with the goal of getting people to carry out assassinations of both foreign and American officials against their will. 

For twenty years, the CIA--with the help of Nazi scientists--experimented on unknowing US citizens using various methods including brainwashing, torture, abuse, isolation, sensory deprivation, and drugs. 

What's that?! We recorded this episode ON THE ROAD? Yes, that's right. The audio quality is... different for this one. BUT, that means that this episode is coming straight to you hot and fresh from New Orleans, Louisiana! We discuss vampire stories from the Big Easy and come back with an update at the end on the unorthodox ghost tour(s) we went on. 

Follow the yellow brick road with us as we dive into everything you ever wanted (and didn't want) to know about the 1939 film, The Wizard of Oz. This groundbreaking, beloved classic unfortunately was riddled with hazardous stunts, dangerous costumes/makeup choices, abusive behavior, and studio heads behaving badly. Christine and Ethan discuss the shady shit that went on behind the scenes and over the rainbow and discuss whether the entertainment industry has actually changed much since they visited the land of Oz.

What does it truly mean when a black cat crosses your path? Why are they linked to the devil and witches? And can cats sense when someone is about to die? In this special day-after-halloween-episode, we discuss all this and more about our namesake, Black Cats.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to have sex... with a ghost? Well, wonder no more! In this episode we explore spooky stories from people (and even some celebrities!) who claim they've gotten down and dirty with a horny spirit (...or twenty). Tiktok & instagram: @twoblackcatspod
