The Paranoid Style Podcast

  • Summary

  • Hey, Listener! Are you the NSA? Do you love/hate conspiracy theories? Is your earth flat, hollow, or 200 years behind schedule? Each week your hosts will delve into a subject that is weird, wacky, unbelievable, and sometimes even true! From giant owl statues to Komodo dragon assassins, super soldiers to merry pranksters, bad eggs to X-Files. We talk about those holes in the "Official Story" where strange mysteries, convoluted explanations, or bizarre speculations slip in to fill the gaps. Our goal is not to convert, it's to entertain!

  • Jack the Ripper - Unusual Suspects Pt 1
    May 17 2022

    Dear Boss: The Paranoid Style Podcast is BACK! And this week we're discussing one of the most infamous serial killings in history, the strange and horrible case of Jack the Ripper. We're a little Sherlock Holmes, a little Criminal Minds, and a whole lotta confused about the internal organs of the human body. But we won't let our bewilderment stop us from dipping a toe into the tuberculosis ridden waters of Ripperology! From the East End to the unsavor-iest parts of the East End. From four penny roach hotels to two penny hang overs. From Leather Aprons to Witch Babies (don't ask.) Find out if the Ripper is actually a baboon (spoiler alert, they aren't.) Ha Ha! Also, it's a two parter and The Paranoid Style is moving to bi-monthly releases to bring you the quality you expect from us. Ho Ho!

  • More Cursed Movies
    Mar 29 2022

    This week The Paranoid Style Podcast is back at the cursed movie well… Presenting… More Cursed Movies! Now with 90% less Satanic possession! We are once again looking into the strange occurrences, mysterious deaths, and rogue lightning that seem to plague some movies. This time around we're overanalyzing 1976's The Omen, 1955's Rebel Without a Cause, 1982's Poltergeist, and 1979's The Amityville Horror, with a splash of the 2005 remake. From egg dish puns to the word play hat trick. From moved headstones to removed heads. From 1950's juvenile delinquents to 1970's juvenile antichrist. It's all for you, Listening Audience!

    Clips from:

    • "Carol Anne's Theme" from Poltergeist - Music Box Melodies
    • "Scrooged" - 1988 - Paramount Pictures

  • The Extemporaneous Style # 8 - A Survey, A Quiz and Potato Chips
    Mar 22 2022

    Welcome to the Paranoid Style Podcast! This week we're waxing extemporaneous… That's right! It's another one of our free-wheelin', rule-bustin' Extemporaneous Style episodes! On this episode we realize that we need to get out of the house more when the best thing we can think to talk about is our favorite flavor potato chips and we can't believe what the night sky looks like. We also discuss the results of conspiracy theory belief study that we were guinea pigs for. We plug the Explore Hollow Earth Kickstarter and we take a highly scientific quiz to determine which cryptid we are… spoilers: we're both chupacabras! From CheeWees to jogging podiatrists, from the Hollow Earth to Hackensack, New Jersey. Have a listen to find out which one of us is the Mulder and which one is the Scully!
