On this week's bonus episode, we've heard your demands and finally- JUST THIS ONCE- acquiesced. Morbius is a fascinating example of a movie so awful and uninteresting that it became an object of ironic enjoyment. Posters managed to convince Disney to reopen the movie in cinemas, only for it to pull in about 80 dollars per cinema on average on it's reopening weekend.

Joining us to talk about this is Twitch Streamer and QANON Anonymous contributor Liv Agar, who penned the tweet that brought this back to our attention. https://twitter.com/Liv_Agar/status/1532643775553712130?s=20&t=hlAxrWGE_Ui5c2s1twW3yw
Devon joined for this one too, making this our first ever four-mic episode. And truly, what better a topic to break records for.

This week, we revisit a subject we last discussed two years ago: Tiktok Witches.
What factors have led to the rise of a magick subcommunity on Tiktok? Does every girl just have a witch phase, or is this a sign of something darker? Why does Tim Curry in the Worst Witch look like a sexy Tony Blair?

As an amuse-bouche, we take a look at Footballer Paul Pogba's admission to the police that he paid a witch doctor to cast a spell, but insists it was a hex to protect himself from injury, and that he has not cast a curse on rival Kylian Mbappé.

This week Annie Kelly of the Qanon anonymous podcast joins us to talk about how, even among all the shit in the news, it turns out basically every library in the country is about to be inundated with abuse and violence, as the ‘grooming/pedo’ panic sweeps the nation. A number of libraries across the country, including one in Norwich, where Annie is based, was protested by far-right and conspiratorial groups, after a number of them participated in ‘Drag Queen Story Hour’ - in which drag queens read childrens stories to children while their parents sit there aimlessly scrolling on their phones.

This week, we take a look at Quinn Shepherd's recently-released social media black comedy, Not Okay. The film tells the tale of a young journalist who finds social media success after she uses photoshop to claim to have been present at a terrorist attack, and the travails of being a young woman thrust into massive mainstream popularity, and her attempts at leveraging this position for personal gain while trying to hide that the whole thing is a fabrication. 

It stars a lot of social media influencers you will be familiar with if you're about a decade and a half younger than any of us, and appears to have the moral: Not everyone's cut out to be an influencer. Cool!
