Magical Mystery Radio: Conspiracy & Paranormal Review

Roswell will never die. Fringe investigator Nick Redfern has yet another contribution to the ever-evolving mythology. A mysterious hole has been detected on Mars. Therefore, aliens. Remember the Phoenix Lights? Well, Ego the Living Planet (aka Snake Plissken, aka Kurt Russell) sure does! You know that thing when objects spontaneously disappear and then reappear somewhere else? It's called apportation. And John has a story to tell...  

What if you could resurrect a loved one through artificial intelligence? Would you? Should you? What if a robot priest could absolve you of your sins? What if everything you thought you knew about UFOs, aliens, and the secret space program was the product of an elaborate disinformation campaign? What are the ethics of conspiracy theory and why should we care? What were those mysterious flashing red lights at the White House this week? And, finally... What's the word on the street, Johnny?

The alien megastructure acts up yet again! Seth Rich murder - Adam follows up with his own investigation and renders his verdict. Fish rain down on a school in northern California.  Now it can be told: Katy Perry is a member of the Illuminati! (And so are a bunch of other pop stars.) John and Adam once again review the week in weird...

Seth Rich: Has the DNC Wikileaks leaker been positively identified?  Stupid Medieval Deaths: In which William Scrym falls from a tree attempting to overthrow a nest of magpies. CERN Opens the Gates of Hell. And also this guy sticks his face into a particle accelerator and maybe discovers the fountain of youth. Tetraploid Giants: You, me, we have two strands of DNA. These guys, they have four. So, you know, plus-sized humans with super powers and stuff. Alien Meme Invasion: What if the real alien threat isn't invasion? What if it's... ideas? Is there a vast deep-state conspiracy to get rid of Donald Trump? Are we teetering on the edge of violent civil war?

Who is the Antichrist this time? We reveal the current most likely candidate, and review the top 10 potential Antichrists you never considered. Hint: Think Tim Burton's BATMAN RETURNS. Trump fires Comey amid Russian investigation! "Nixonian" cover-up?  Nah.  When the dust settles, there'll be nothing to see here, folks... move along... Hacktivist group "Anonymous" warns we are on the verge of World War III. But that's okay, because... YOU could survive a nuclear holocaust - using only a power bar, a sturdy desk, and a bottle of Johnson's Baby Shampoo. And if you do survive, you'll surely live in a transhumanist world of AI-enhanced minds, artificial sentience, and synthetic artistes.  Plus, another exciting episode of What's the Word on the Street, Johnny? regarding the recent French election.  

We discuss the "World's Smartest Man", Christopher Langan, whose reported IQ is somewhere between 190 and 210. This leads us into a rambling discussion on IQ, empathy, and the "dehumanization" of our fellow sentient beings. Adam inserts a non-sequitur about ghosts, Ed and Lorraine Warren, and some crazy Warner Bros. lawsuit. After the break, John addresses the strange theory of an advanced, hidden race of beings living alongside us, secretly controlling the world. Former senior counsel to the World Bank, Karen Hudes, spills the beans on the financial malfeasance of the elites, the Vatican, and the Conehead "Critters." Unfortunately, the initial proponent of her theory, Dr. Edward Spencer, takes a cannonball leap into the cesspool of antisemitic nonsense and ruins what might otherwise be a very cool conspiracy...    

The world ends May 15, 2017. No, really. This is it. For reals. Seriously. Don't believe us? We'll see who's laughing in 19 days (and counting)... 13-year-old boy invents free energy device, proves the multiverse, discovers our universe was destroyed by Cern. Either that or he's a bright, eager young science nerd unfairly lionized by a scientifically illiterate media. And speaking of scientific literacy: Heard the one about the $400 juicer? Silicon Valley startup spends millions on a hi-tech juice machine only to discover that human hands can do the job at least as well. UFO sightings are on the increase! Why? Are we earthlings suddenly more interesting than we were this time last year? Nah, that can't be it.  

Did you know there's an actual, real serial killer in THE EXORCIST? William Friedkin's horror classic continues to surprise, four decades later. Can a human truly love a robot? Can a robot love a human? Hear the only known recording of the Great Beast himself, Aleister Crowley. And learn all about the literary - and literal - feud between Crowley and poet William Butler Yeats. Enter the Hollow Earth in Romania, come out in LA. Tell the Lizard People we say hi. The Great Miracle happened last week! What the hell was it? Breaking news: Manhunt for the Vault7 leaker!  

United Airlines sucks. Inspired by his utter disgust, Adam shares true airplane horror stories. If only to remind himself that his own experience could have been much worse. Afraid to fly? This won't help. Are we seeing the start of Armageddon in Syria? Is it a coincidence that the missile strike occurred exactly 100 years - to the day - after the US entered World War I? Did Guccifer 2.0's public chats with a nude model reveal the identity of the Wikileaks leaker? Another UFO researcher vanishes. This is starting to look like a hazardous occupation. Hubble spots something massive coming out of Uranus. Don't laugh.    

Do vaccines cause autism? Is there a massive coverup by the pharmaceutical companies? Adam and John dive headlong into a controversy for which they are wildly unqualified.  

Adam shares his weird brushes with "pizzagate" and the secret service. Bigfoot causes car crash in Idaho. Strange case of the phantom Pokemon. Is Trump playing "Apprentice" with the US government? Who is the enigmatic mystic influencing Russian politics? Witness the REAL Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.  

"I know kung fu!" Is it possible to inject knowledge directly into our brains? Are we on the verge of yet another economic collapse? Is the world about to end? Isn't it always? Weird goings-on in Antarctica. Therefore: aliens. How Sesame Street inspired a generation of conspiracy theorists. Are the boomers a generation of sociopaths? Truly lame advice for spies on the run.

CURSE OF THE MAN WHO SEES UFOS (2016) is the profile of a man who, well, sees UFOs. More than that, it's a human story about the things we cling to to give our lives meaning. Are the aerial lights Christo has followed since he was a child actually trying to communicate with him? Is he a tragic dreamer with a desperate need to seek reason in a seemingly random universe? Is he simply a man with eyes wide open? Who are we to say?

We open VAULT 7 - and try not to get locked inside. Spy bears! How do the Oscars prove we live in a computer simulation? Witches against Trump! Dementors over Zambia! And of course: WHAT'S THE WORD ON THE STREET, JOHNNY?

ZEITGEIST (2007) is a phenomenon. It is a meandering, globe-spanning, time-trotting epic of free association and paranoia. Here we have the "real truth" behind Jesus Christ, Pearl Harbor, Viet Nam, 9/11, the military-industrial complex, the banking industry... Pretty much everything. Join us as we discuss Peter Joseph's oversuffed opus ZEIGEIST.  

Is the U.S. government using a genetically engineered virus to alter human behavior? Is there a secret Captain America-style super soldier program? Why was Winston Churchill obsessed with UFOs and extraterrestrial life? Remember FACES OF DEATH? Good news! It was fake! Join us for all this and SO much more...

Forget everything you thought you knew about cosmology. This film posits that our world actually IS the center of the universe, and that everything we've been taught these last 500 years is flat wrong.  Yes, there is actual evidence for this theory. Is it conclusive? Of course not! But it does make for some interesting speculation...

Retired carpenter comes up with simple, elegant solution for the STONEHENGE mystery. Grumpy dog trainer inherits collection of frozen BIGFOOT body parts. What the heck is VAULT 7 and why is Wikileaks teasing us? Beware FAKE rogue Twitter accounts!  And finally, join us for the latest edition of WHAT'S THE WORD ON THE STREET, JOHNNY.
