Weirdwide

Weirdwide is officially a year old! After a short break the weird returns darker than ever! This week we take a look at convicted murderer, Taylor Schabusiness and the carnage she left in her wake! But it isn't all dark! Somehow Fyre Festival 2 is a thing, plus the search for the Loch Ness Monster, Peru's extraterrestrial problem, the rumor behind Party City's masks, and more!

It is time for another look at a movie that could only be described as...UNHINGED!Joined again by The Ghost, we are diving into the 1993 comedy classic, Mrs. Doubtfire!  A father separated from his children during a painful divorce makes the most logical decision that any reasonable person would; dress up as an elderly British nanny and infiltrate the family!Sounds crazy when you say it out loud! This movie was marketed to us as a children's movie, but could easily have been a horror flick!  

Welcome Weirdos to another look at all the weird this world has to offer! I am joined again by frequent flyer to the Weirdoverse, Natalie Katona, host of the podcast To All The Men I've Tolerated Before!Ben Shapiro is having a MOMENT with the new Barbie movie, and even felt the need to burn some Barbie dolls he happened to have.  Notorious cult member and murderer of Manson Family infamy has been released from prison after five decades.  The sea continues to turn against us, it began with orcas, now it is sea otters! Plus a look at what is wrong with Florida, the soldier who decided to go Leeroy Jenkins into North Korea, a strange new concert trend, and moving closer to alien disclosure!

This episode has it all! Aliens assisting humanity with technology, secret treaties, a secret portal to hell hidden at Mount Rushmore, strange noises from the woods, an internet apocalypse, and even a look back at Dude, Where's My Car! 

The Weird is back! Apologies for the random disappearance, but Weirdwide has returned and coming back stronger than ever!  Announcing a bit of a format change for the show, the deep dive topic episodes will still be happening, but the show will take on a different approach going forward with the majority of episodes more focused on weird news and events, as well other segments and topics!This week of course we had to touch upon the Oceangate sub disaster, as well as the Musk/Zuck cage fight, but dives into weirder topics like some weird 4th of July history, and the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council(real thing, go to hot-dog.org!) Then some apocalypse watch, and a little entertainment!

The Weird returns this week with a dive into one of the scariest attractions on Earth...McKamey Manor!Not your average haunted house, McKamey Manor is an "extreme haunt" that allows guests to live out their horror fantasies in real life.  Founded and run by haunt enthusiast, Russ McKamey, Russ will take you to the extremes of physical and psychological torture, that is SOMEHOW legal.  Is McKamey Manor a 4D horror experience for those that need an extra bit of crazy to get their adrenaline flowing, or legal torture carried out by a sadistic madman?! YOU decide!  

Aliens invade the Weirdoverse once again today! This time we are looking into the topic of alien abduction, through the view of Debbie & Audrey Hewins, twin sisters who have experienced the alien phenomenon firsthand since they were children, and into adulthood, and how they went on to form a support group for alien abductees, called Starborn SupportWhy were they chosen? What is the greater plan for the aliens? Tune in today to find out!

This hippity hop likes to choppity chop!This week the Weirdoverse opens up to a cryptid and urban legend in Virginia, The Bunny Man!  Supposedly, if you call out to the Bunny Man three times near his bridge, he will appear and give you the axe! But who is he? Some say an escaped mental patient, some say a demonic spirit, and still others says he is just a strange dude who DOES NOT care for trespassing.  Find out for yourself today! 

Welcome to another Unhinged Movies edition of Weirdwide!As always for the Unhinged series I am joined by The Ghost to dissect a movie that is...well, unhinged! This time we are going back to the glitz and glam of the 1980s, and we explore a story where we are convinced that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito are not only brothers, but TWINS!And if THAT isn't enough, the story manages to unfold an honestly mind boggling amount of sub plots; corporate espionage, searching for a long lost mother, loves new and old, and of course murder!Join us for this delightful journey of brotherly love!
