For the new year we tackle the mother of all fan theory films, The Shining. Join us as we take on all the strange interpretations that have popped up around this film, including the theories offered in the documentary Room 237. We talk about The Shining being an allegory for the eradication of Native Americans, the idea that it's actually about sex demons, the quirks of director Stanley Kubrick and we even discuss whether or not he helped fake the moon landing. We also prove once and for all that it's not just Danny who shines, his entire family does! And make sure to stick around to the end to hear our brand new theme song.

Did you know that Disney greenlit, began production on, and then suddenly scrapped a feature-length Boba Fett film? And directly after that, they started work on a new TV show about a very familiar-looking armor-clad bounty hunter making his way in a galaxy far far away, they called it The Mandalorian. Or... was it The Bobalorian? Today we embark on an epic quest to figure out what Disney has done to Boba Fett and why they have done it. And along the way we'll learn about everyone's favorite silent background-characters, Dengar Roth and Rothgar Deng! Or are they in fact one and the same??

We need to talk about a small town named Bomont where music is outlawed, and dancing is forbidden. Why, you might ask, would any city make dancing an arrestable offense? Maybe because if they dance, the vibrations will awaken the beasts underground, and gigantic sandworms will burst out and eat everyone! We're absolutely delighted to be joined by S.S. Wilson (creator of Tremors, father of all Graboids) who will help us expose the hidden connection between Footloose and Tremors!
