(Note: The legendary parapolitics researcher/the hardest working man in podcasting, Jimmy Falun Gong, has been bought out as part of some weird podcaster eminent domain law and is now serving OpenAI to train thousands AI infiltrators destined for tinfoil communities. As such, he kindly allowed me to release the episodes of Programmed to Chill that I was a guest on for the lovely subscribers at Getting Spooked. We all wish Jimmy the absolute best in his future endeavors. His podcast will remain one of the greatest of its genre long after its end and I am still grateful he had me on as a guest. Above all, he is a great friend and top of the line human being.)
Jimmy’s original description:
Today's the second of four horror movies for CrackpotoberFest 2022 - Ghostwatch (1992), and I'm joined by Fortean expert Tanner Boyle (@TannerFBoyle1) to discuss the film. Tanner walks us through the plot and we discuss the film and its themes, which include spiritualism, baby farming, psychological operations, Jimmy Savile, the Society for Psychical Research, and even, yet again, a Jonestown connection.
