• 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!

  • The Vatican Secret Archives
    Mar 16 2022

    This week at The Paranoid Style Podcast we're throwing a Hail Mary pass as we attempt to infiltrate the private, separate, distinguished… Oh! Let's just say it SECRET Vatican Archives. Let's find out what treasures or terrors are hidden away in the miles of mysterious storage underneath Vatican City. From ye ol' medieval nudie mags to the Third Secret of Fatima. From the Ark of the Covenant to the skulls of long, dead aliens. From the Chronovisor to well… probably a few copies of Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons". We at the Paranoid Style like our mysteries like we like our baked potatoes… with some spooky Ar-chives on top!

  • TPSPPS - George Washington
    Feb 22 2022

    This week The Paranoid Style Podcast is hailing to the chief, star spangling our banners, and mostly re-listening to the Hamilton soundtrack because in this episode we present the first of a new series that we are calling The Paranoid Style Podcast’s Presidential Series or TPSPPS! And what better place to start than the very beginning with El Numero Uno, ol' Crispy Wig himself, General George Washington!

    From the felling of that fateful cherry tree to the ghastly nightmare that was his teeth. From the Freemasons to the possible Illuminati imposter GW. From blood sucking vampires to bloodletting doctors. And what's this? An actual conspiracy! Come listen to The Paranoid Style's take on the one dollar founding father. Advisory: No actual accents that occur on the planet Earth were harmed in the recording of this episode.

And then we try our hand at being a movie review podcast with balmy, erratic results! From Canada to South Korea to Argentina to Australia! From demons and devils to an inability to remain spoiler free. We braved monsters and subtitles to bring you this episode.

    "Alison's Birthday" (Australia - 1981)
