@sjdockery Oh hell yeahhhhhh

Markus was understandably furious. What were these sites, and why were they exploiting the death of his friend? The further we looked into it the more we found these sites were just a symptom of the way the internet itself is put together. https://t.co/EPHOMn48kr

A listener named Markus wrote to us. A close friend of his tragically died young. Not wanting to upset his friend’s grieving parents he went to the internet for more info, and found a bunch of obits composed with AI, chock full of misinformation. https://t.co/EPHOMn48kr

This week on our bonus feed - George is a NASCAR fanatic. And there’s one race from 1970, that doesn’t make any sense to him. We try to help, and ask you for help as well

[Alex Goldman @AGoldmund]

As it stands, everyone on staff myself included currently make the same amount, which is, to be candid, not a lot. I am lucky enough to have producers working on this show that believe in what we’re making and are working for much less than they’re worth.

[Amityvilleville @amityvilleville]

Episode 3 is out today—we discuss Amityville 3-D, a surprisingly solid entry in the series and also kind of a parent trap situation where the gal from full house parent traps her folks by dying and blowing up the house (which is intact again in amityville 4)

[Amityvilleville @amityvilleville]

Amityvilleville episode 2 out tomorrow! Join us for a truly out there movie. If you don’t believe us, just listen to the voice message Caroline left for Alex midway through the film:

[Amityvilleville @amityvilleville]

Ok, episode 2 of Amityvilleville is out now. Time to watch Amityville II: The possession, which is insane right out of the gate.

[Hyperfixed Podcast @hyperfixedpod]

@Chadattack Thank you!!

[Hyperfixed Podcast @hyperfixedpod]

Chris is a movie lover, and there are dozens of classics he’s desperate to watch. But he can’t due to his visual impairment and the lack of audio descriptions - which are far less common than closed captions.

[Hyperfixed Podcast @hyperfixedpod]

Alex jumps in to help - but first wants to understand why this problem exists in the first place.
