Happy podcast-iversary, listeners! June of the Living Dead continues with a return to our first-ever monster! We go back to the zombie's necromantic roots in Haitian Vodou, and then we forget everything we just learned and talk about pop culture necromancy anyway.

In 2020, the Kool-Aid Man, in defiance of God, rendered animate what should have rightfully been committed to the Gates of Hell. But it goes much deeper than that. We hope you haven't been drinking The Man's Kool-Aid, because this conspiracy goes all the way to the top!

It was a simple job: Get in, get the mummified yeti hand, get out. But for Jimmy Stewart and his associates, robbing a Buddhist monastery is never simple. Between prehistoric primates, Euro-centric entitlement, and a lingerie case full of human bones, this episode has everything you need to start getting into the holiday spirit!

Valentine's Day is here again, and we're here to ask why unicorns have such weird, puritanical standards. Your standards are too high, unicorns! Not everyone's perfect, you're almost thirty, and you've never been in a stable relationship for more than a few months! You are not proving your mother right by making yourself emotionally unavailable. In fact, you actually get that tendency from her,... unicorns. This was about unicorns the whole time. Totally.

The teenage mutant ninja turtles. Dare we defy one of those four otherwise completely unrelated words? Yes, we do. Because we at FMR believe that everyone, turtles included, has the right to a mutagenic ooze called post-secondary education. And before you ask, yes, the ninja turtles smoke weed in this one. We were the first ever people to take that courageous step. We are true pioneers of comedy.

Panpsychism is the view that “the mind or a mindlike aspect is fundamental and ubiquitous to all reality.” Consciousness is the means by which the universe understands itself. So when we say we’re going to try and recall everything that happens in Shapeshifter (1999), we’re doing a service to the universe, because if we don’t figure out what in the world is going on in this feverish children’s movie from the late 90s about a magic teenage spy who looks 55, it will truly go uncomprehended from now until the last atom disappears into timeless eternity. Also there’s a cyberwitch.

Would it be cool to date Paul Bunyan? Can a 19th-century giant with an axe to grind really be the president America needs right now? No and no. Sorry, I'm just mad that we forgot to make a Tinder/timber joke.

The Rankin-Bass stop-motion Christmas specials are truly, madly, deeply weird. For example, why is the Island of Misfit Toys ruled by a winged lion? Our best guesses involve deviant griffins, Paleo-Indians, and tax evasion. What do you think?
