From The Cheap Seats

Out Of This World Video: https://bit.ly/444RzKs The White House has just released a massive number of previously top-secret videos and documents from the DIA, CIA, FBI, and DOD – all related to UFOs. In our preceding UFO episode, we replayed popular episodes on the topic from the recent past. BUT this episode is entirely NEW. Anuradha and I welcome our esteemed guest, Maria Barnes, to our microphone. Longtime film/video producer, director, and writer; college professor; author of several books; podcaster, and many other things, Maria has her own unique theory about extraterrestrials that you will definitely want to hear. We mention the Drake Equation which describes the overwhelming mathematical probability that intelligent life should exist elsewhere in the universe. https://bit.ly/4gevn7N We also mention the famous psychanalyst Carl Jung’s 1958 book, “Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies” On Amazon: https://bit.ly/4wgcV3w . Jung believed that after the 1947 “Roswell Incident” we socially projected UFO delusions upon ourselves in the wake of the existential threat of the cold war and possible sudden annihilation. You folks decide what is true….and then tell us. [email protected] Anuradha can be found at her Instagram accounts: @anuradhaduz_food and @artist_anuradhachhibber.

The White House has just released a massive number of previously top-secret videos and documents from the DIA, CIA, FBI, and DOD related to UFOs. There is also a new film by Steven Speilberg that reveals a conspiracy between Extraterrestrials and world governments (his biggest first weekend box-office career open). My co-host and expert ET-hunter, Anuradha, and I intend to get to the bottom of this 79 year conspiracy and share with our viewers/listeners. In addition, we will be joined by seasoned podcaster and ET-conspiracy expert, Maria Barnes. She will blow your mind. Stay tuned! In the meantime, we are sharing this amazing episode from 2023, the last time, the United States Congress convened a multi-day hearing to investigate UFO’s and brought in decorated Marine/Naval aviators to testify, share videos they also saw with their own eyes, and other empirical evidence, such as radar.

Amazing Video Version: https://bit.ly/3PLBJkk This includes our hilarious Behind-The-Scenes Bonus. On its 15th anniversary, we explore the origins, legacy, impact, and behind-the-scenes stories from the most popular TV show in history. Despite its phenomenal success, it was heavily criticized for unnecessarily graphic violence, gratuitous nudity, misogyny, and on-screen rape of female characters. But like they say, “It’s not TV – it’s HBO”, right? We also examine the extraordinary backlash against the 8th and final season that profoundly tarnished the show’s reputation with fans. A startling fall from grace. Where did the producers go wrong? We welcome back returning guest Jim Mauer for his amazing insights.

Western culture can’t get enough of its zombie-crack addiction - with a seemingly endless stream of movies, TV series’, video games, merchandise, and graphic novels. Total annual consumer revenue rivals the competing ‘vampire’ horror genre and is in the $$ billions. How come? We welcome our guest Dylan Cuellar, who has a podcast of his own. In many circles he is acknowledged as an perceptive commentator on literature, movies, and media - and he is still under 30!. We were lucky to grab him for a few minutes to share his unique insights on the zombie phenomena across pop culture and what it represents for us. YOU’LL LOVE OUR COMEDY-COLD OPEN starring Bernice, Thad, and first co-host, Kassia. We are beset by an army of Zombies!

GREAT VIDEO VERSION: https://bit.ly/4fx4R5q No one loves Christmas more than your friends at Scandal Sheet. But that doesn’t mean we can’t explore some obvious historical inconsistencies. Right? For example, why is Christmas celebrated on December 25? Only 2 of the 4 Gospels in the Christian New Testament even discuss the birth of the infant Jesus and NEITHER MENTIONS A DATE. But the Gospels do give us clues that the birthday was more likely in the spring or summer - and NOT winter. So, why 12/25? Join co-host Thad (a Catholic) co-host Anuradha (a Hindu), and regular guests David/Jill Grover (a Jewish couple) as we follow this star of Bethlehem’s holiday investigation. And don’t miss the hilarious cold open, “On The Road With The Maji.” (This is a popular replay from a December 2024 episode.) David’s amazing firm is Grover and Fensterstock.
