No new episode today - unfortunately life got in the way and it’s been a stressful couple of weeks at Strangeness towers.

All being well we’ll get it done for next week and service will continue as normal.

So, we all know that Mike hated Ghost Rider, but did you know he also hates bad shark movies. I personally love them. Any Sharknado fans out there? and should I make Mike watch it??
Do you want to hear what we think?

Our minisode for Patrons is out!
Sorry for the delay - life and al that.

We’ve done another watch-along commentary for you, this time we watched Ghost Rider (2007) with Nick Cage, and let me tell you, it’s absolutely dreadful.

It’s such a bad movie that it’s not even “so bad it’s good,” it’s just… terrible.

Some of the effects are laughably poor and that’s some of the best parts of this film.

The script was almost certainly written in crayon, the characters are paper-thin, and the hero goes through almost no development whatsoever.

I could go on for hours, and actually we did, and you can listen to us rip this film a new one as you watch along.

Just queue up the film on Netflix, and press play when we say, to watch along with us.

We’re sorry, but not as sorry as writer/director Mark Steven Johnson should be.

We cracked 15k download a few days ago! Would’ve told you sooner but life has been busy, you know?

Anyway, massive thanks to everyone who has helped us make it here, we appreciate every set of ears!

Go listen to Mike narrate this episode of !

And tell we sent ya!

26/09/2022

Sorry folks. We’ll try to get it out later this week if we can.

04/09/2022

! You have new content to explore.

First up is Minisode 35: Zoe tells us about the murder of Julia Wallace, in 1931.

Called the impossible murder, Zoe seems to think that might be a misnomer, as the case was essentially bungled by the police.

That being said, there are some tantalising details and possible suspects, and it is still classed as unsolved…

Next up is the outtakes from episode 41, where Mike talks about his ni**le piercings.

Make of that what you will.

It’s so hot. It’s been over 30C for days now. The UK is not set up for this - mostly only shops have AC.

Anyway, tomorrow we release our 50th episode! We didn’t really think we’d make it this far, but here we are.

So, prep yourself for more of our usual kind of nonsense, interspersed with actual research about our purported topic.

07/08/2022

Patreon subscribers get outtakes from ep. 39 - The Dodleston Messages - AND a new minisode today.

Zoe tells us about the secret language of flowers that the Victorians invented to send secret messages.

Not only did different flowers have different meanings, but different colours of the same flower could mean different things too!

Sound complicated? It gets worse…

For access to this and our whole back catalogue of minisodes, outtakes and timelapse art videos, sign up to our Patreon for just £3 ($3.62,) per month.

Who’s watching the D. B. Cooper documentary on Netflix?

I’m on episode 4, where they’re looking into connections with the French language Dan Cooper comics.

We covered the incredible case back in February, so now would be a great time to go back and check out the episode as a companion piece to the documentary, especially if you haven’t listened to it - and if you have, it’s a good refresher!

It’s still the only unsolved air jacking in US history, over 50 years later!

Let us know your favourite suspect(s) in the comments, or by emailing us at stories of strangeness at gmail dot com!
