The Paranoid Style Podcast

Dear Boss: The Paranoid Style Podcast is BACK!  And this week we're discussing one of the most infamous serial killings in history, the strange and horrible case of Jack the Ripper. We're a little Sherlock Holmes, a little Criminal Minds, and a whole lotta confused about the internal organs of the human body. But we won't let our bewilderment stop us from dipping a toe into the tuberculosis ridden waters of Ripperology! From the East End to the unsavor-iest parts of the East End. From four penny roach hotels to two penny hang overs. From Leather Aprons to Witch Babies (don't ask.) Find out if the Ripper is actually a baboon (spoiler alert, they aren't.) Ha Ha! Also, it's a two parter and The Paranoid Style is moving to bi-monthly releases to bring you the quality you expect from us.

This week The Paranoid Style Podcast is back at the cursed movie well… Presenting… More Cursed Movies! Now with 90% less Satanic possession! We are once again looking into the strange occurrences, mysterious deaths, and rogue lightning that seem to plague some movies. This time around we're overanalyzing 1976's The Omen, 1955's Rebel Without a Cause, 1982's Poltergeist, and 1979's The Amityville Horror, with a splash of the 2005 remake. From egg dish puns to the word play hat trick. From moved headstones to removed heads. From 1950's juvenile delinquents to 1970's juvenile antichrist. It's all for you, Listening Audience! Clips from: "Carol Anne's Theme" from Poltergeist - Music Box Melodies "Scrooged" - 1988 - Paramount Pictures If you have any topic suggestions for the show or any tales to share, please email us at theparanoidstylepod@gmail.com and follow us on Instagram @theparanoidstylepod or on twitter @style_paranoid.   Opening theme music provided by Tony Molina.

Welcome to the Paranoid Style Podcast! This week we're waxing extemporaneous… That's right! It's another one of our free-wheelin', rule-bustin' Extemporaneous Style episodes! On this episode we realize that we need to get out of the house more when the best thing we can think to talk about is our favorite flavor potato chips and we can't believe what the night sky looks like. We also discuss the results of conspiracy theory belief study that we were guinea pigs for. We plug the Explore Hollow Earth Kickstarter and we take a highly scientific quiz to determine which cryptid we are… spoilers: we're both chupacabras! From CheeWees to jogging podiatrists, from the Hollow Earth to Hackensack, New Jersey. Have a listen to find out which one of us is the Mulder and which one is the Scully!  Please subscribe where ever you get your podcasts.

This week at The Paranoid Style Podcast we're throwing a Hail Mary pass as we attempt to infiltrate the private, separate, distinguished… Oh! Let's just say it SECRET Vatican Archives. Let's find out what treasures or terrors are hidden away in the miles of mysterious storage underneath Vatican City. From ye ol' medieval nudie mags to the Third Secret of Fatima.  From the Ark of the Covenant to the skulls of long, dead aliens. From the Chronovisor to well… probably a few copies of Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons".

Welcome to the Paranoid Style Podcast! It's an Extemporaneous Style episode! Some might call it the Hot Mess Express, we prefer to think of it as the Balmy Erratic Slow Coach.

And then we try our hand at being a movie review podcast with balmy, erratic results! From Canada to South Korea to Argentina to Australia! From demons and devils to an inability to remain spoiler free. We braved monsters and subtitles to bring you this episode. Movies Discussed:"Alison's Birthday" (Australia - 1981)"The Wailing" (South Korea - 2016)"Terrified" (Argentina - 2017)Thank you for listening!

This week The Paranoid Style Podcast is CURSED!!! I mean, even more than usual! We're looking into cursed movies, where the only thing more dangerous on the set than the critics reviews are the mysterious deaths, injuries and spooky occurrences. From Pazuzu to Pizzookies,  from demonic diapers to possessed but plucky tweens, from Mia Farrow to Zoe Saldana, no wait, neither of us have seen the remake. What an excellent day for an exorcism!Clip from:"The Exorcist" (1973) - William Friedkin Horror Movie If you have any topic suggestions for the show or any tales to share, please email us at theparanoidstylepod@gmail.com and follow us on Instagram @theparanoidstylepod or on twitter @style_paranoid.  Opening theme music provided by Tony Molina.

This week The Paranoid Style Podcast is back with Part 2 of The Beatles - Paul Is Dead! We keep scouring The Beatles’ discography for the clues that will break this case wide open. From India to Abbey Road. From the black mass rites of Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, to the shade thrown on How Do You Sleep? From the Manson’s Family’s Helter-Skelter to the walrus, who we’re pretty sure wasn’t Paul. Oh! And did we mention that this time playing the songs forward is not enough? G-N-I-K-S-A-M-K-C-A-B! Warning: After bad-mouthing other people’s Liverpudlian accent, we produce quite possibly the worst of all time. Our apologies to the lovely people of Liverpool… If you have any topic suggestions for the show or any tales to share, please email us at theparanoidstylepod@gmail.com and follow us on Instagram @theparanoidstylepod or on twitter @style_paranoid.  Music used in this episode is from: Purple Planet Royalty Free Music  Opening theme music provided by Tony Molina.

This week The Paranoid Style Podcast is suffering from Beatlemania! We're looking into the enduring mystery that is Paul Is Dead. Is it possible that a beloved icon like Paul McCartney could have died back in 1966 and been replaced with a very convincing lookalike? And that the only thing standing between the public and the truth are the cryptic clues left behind by the other band members? From Merseyside to Hamburg. From November 9th to September 11th (No, not that one, but thanks for remembering!). We're dissecting every album from Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band to… well, Sgt. Pepper is as far as we got. That's right listeners… it's a TWO PARTER!! Warning: This podcast may contain singing that is either out of key, off pitch, shrill, warbling, or otherwise bad.

This week The Paranoid Style Podcast is forcing an unexpected reboot on the world… The Simulation Theory! We look into all the reasons you might have to believe that the nature of existence is just a very sophisticated MMORPG. From philosopher’s caves to physics’ double slits.

And we close the book on Season 1 of The Paranoid Style Podcast. From Canada's The Junction to San Francisco's Skid Row. From giant cookies to veggie neatloaf.

Welcome to the Paranoid Style Podcast! It's spooooky October! Every episode this month will have a spooky theme and this week we've jammed six of the creepiest conspiracies we could find into one episode. From the Dead Internet to the little bitty 2012 Black Hole of CERN, we visit Ong's Hat and Chipotle and discuss the Ice Bucket Challenge and whether or not Willy Wonka is the Ted Bundy of confectioners. There may not be much to these theories but with a sketchy framing device and enough bad puns, anything is possible! Please subscribe where ever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to the Paranoid Style Podcast! It's spooooky October! Every episode this month will have a spooky theme and this week we're starting with the scariest thing we could think of… a cease and desist letter from Disney lawyers. That's right, Mouseketeers, this week is Disney and the Occult! We're delving into all the weird, creepy, possibly esoteric stuff that you can find in all Disney movies, TV shows and even in the happiest place on earth, Disneyland! From the walking, talking, singing and dancing dead to the good and bad witches, from magic wielding mice to yellow hounds from the underground. Are you a puppet longing to be a real boy or are you a 33 degree Freemason sitting on top of the world? Either way, this episode is like a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down.  Please subscribe where ever you get your podcasts.

Hey, Listener! Welcome to the Paranoid Style Podcast! This week we crowbar our way (metaphorically speaking) into the tomb of the Brotherhood of Death, AKA Order 322, AKA The Order of the Skull and Bones.  We take a campus tour of some of Yale's other secret societies and bash toll roads for being bougie. Also, we discuss the trilogy of movies in The Skulls oeuvre and we read a bleak and fantastical Archibald MacLeish poem at the very end. (Archie, along with Grandpappy, Pappy and W Bush were all Bonesmen.)Please subscribe where ever you get your podcasts.

Welcome to the Paranoid Style Podcast! It's time for another Extemporaneous Style episode. This time we attempt to stir up some reality TV level drama, take the Pepsi Challenge, and try to dig up Jimmy Hoffa. From Anno Domini to the Common Era, from a dump in New Jersey to Giants Stadium, from Diet Coke to vegetarian bacon in the dark. We're serving up the worst podcast concepts west of the Mississipp with a big, tall glass of Beverly! Please subscribe where ever you get your podcasts.
