This week we're chatting with illustrator and amateur cryptid historian, Ben O'Neil, about the big hairy phenomenon that people are dying to lay their eyes on; BIGFOOT. We talk about the Macleans magazine story that 'broke' (read: stole) the story, woodworking pranks, the famous Patterson-Gimlin film (and its possible debunking), conspiracy theories, Bigfoot hunting laws, carefully preserved butt prints and why the reality of Bigfoot is sort of beside the point. Plus, Ben breaks Steph's brain with the reveal of - what appears to be - a very weird reality show murder confession.

WITNESS ME! Today we are joined by guest co-host Jocelyn Geddie (she/her) who is lending her mechanical arm to our collective and metaphorical war rig, so we might interview our very own host Kyah Green (they/them) on one of their all time favourite films; MAD MAX FURY ROAD. We talk about outrageously detailed world-building, a disastrous production that never should have resulted in a finished film, death-defying stunts, sneaky feminism, what constitutes a 'plot' and why Kyah refers to this film as 'a violence ballet'. Plus, we play 'Smash or Be Smashed'! What a day! What a lovely day!
