Creature Feature: Big Head
November 21, 2018 07:01 - 10 minutes - 10.1 MBWe have a lot to be thankful for this year--the biggest thing being, perhaps, the fact that we don't have to worry about Big Head.

2 - Adventures in Necrophilia (Not to be Confused with Romance)
November 14, 2018 04:02 - 1 hour - 89.4 MBIs romance really dead? If you really love someone, don't sleep with their corpse (or presumed corpse, for that matter). In this week's episode, Sarah & Megan explore fantastic adventures in necrophilia, reminding you that obsession does NOT equal romance. For our Fairy Tale, we take a look at the Italian classic, "Sun, Moon, and Talia" and how yes, even "dead" women can still (sometimes) get pregnant. And for our true crime story, we hold back our vomit as we question Carl Tanzler's obsessi...
