Episode 162: Storms are Terrifying
Nature doesn't care about you. It never did.
This week Matty & Andrew are boarding up the windows and sitting with the most primal fear of all — the sky itself turning against you. We get into the long, ugly history of storms being used to blame queer people, the real science behind why severe weather feels genuinely supernatural, and why Tornado Alley is no longer where anyone thinks it is.
Also: twenty years after Katrina, New Orleans is still haunted — and not in the way you'd expect.
And then we watched some movies. 🍿🌩️
🎬 BURNING BRIGHT — A Bengal tiger named Lucifer. A boarded-up house. A hurricane bearing down on Florida. A stepfather with a life insurance policy and zero conscience. This 2010 straight-to-DVD gem is genuinely underseen and we need you to watch it immediately.
🎬 CRAWL — Category 5 Hurricane Wendy has hit Florida. Haley Keller has gone back for her dad. He's in the crawl space. The crawl space is flooded. The crawl space has alligators in it. Alexandre Aja and Sam Raimi said hold our beers.
Same premise. Different predator. Different decade. Both absolutely unhinged.
Plus: Horror in Real Life, Whatcha Been Watchin' Bitch, and a closing game of STORM WARNING!
