Welcome back to for our second ever Christmas episode of The After Midnight Podcast. This week we're joined by Luis Salgado to discuss the man who the holiday is named after, Jesus of Nazareth. In particular though, we will be talking about what could quite possibly be the only piece of physical evidence left behind linking us to the son of man, the Shroud of Turin. What is the shroud? Where was it found? Who found it? Is it real or is it an elaborate hoax? We break the evidence as well as the importance of the shroud on this holiday special.

On the eve of the release of the most anticipated movie of the year, Star Wars The Last Jedi, join myself and this week's guest Jay Black as I live out a dream and provide a commentary for the 2015 smash hit (and one of my personal favs) Star Wars The Force Awakens. Pop in you copy as we (and by we I mean me) gush all over Rey/Daisy Ridley, the awesomeness of Poe Dameron/Oscar Isaac, the comedy of Finn/John Boyega and the villainous Kylo Ren/Adam Driver. We even speculate on what direction The Last Jedi will go based on this movie alone. If you can't get into TLJ this weekend, just pop in TFA and give this pod a listen.

We are joined by KLB's Geekdom101 as we discuss The Hollow Earth Theory. How long has this been a thing? What exactly is inside the Hollow Earth? Who lives there? What do the Arctic and the Antarctic have to do with this? All this plus more!

We are joined again by KLB's own Pedro Nunez to discuss the latest sex scandals going on in Washington. From the Lolita Express to Barney Frank's extra curricular activities possibly tying into Bohemian Grove, to discussing what is Spirit Cooking and why we should be scared of it.

After a brief one week hiatus due to a cold, we are back with another new episode of The After Midnight Podcast! This week Pedro and I discuss the recent sex scandals rocking Hollywood. From Miramax mogul Harvey Weinstein to Kevin Spacey, what is it about these powerful types and sexual misconduct with women and in some cases, underage children? Have we seen the worst or is it still yet to come? Join us again next week as we conclude the discussion as we focus on Washington, the Lolita Express, child sex slave rings and spirit cooking. Are these cases of sick sex maniacs and pedophiles or is something more sinister at play.

We are back with our good friend Pedro Nunez of KLB Kayfabulous Lucha Bros. fame for episode #69 (HA!) to discuss the 1988 cult classic, John Carpenter's They Live starring "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, Keith David and Meg Foster. We discuss what John Carpenter was presenting in his social commentary from 1988 to how socially relevant this film in 2017's social climate. All that and the awesomeness of Keith David and Roddy Piper!

The only thing scary about this week's topic is how much this week's guest, Jay Black and myself loved the Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer. I've been dieing to discuss this trailer for about 2 weeks with Jay and he makes his return as we analyze, then over-analyze, then theorize what will possbly happen in the 8th installment of the Star Wars saga. Will our beloved Rey turn to the dark side? Will our dastardly villain Klyo Ren find his redemption? What is Luke Skywalker's role in all this? Will we see Captain Phasma wreck fools? What does Supreme Leader Snoke want from Ben Solo...or does he seek a new apprentice? We discuss all that plus tie-ins into the expanded universe via novels and Marvel Comics.

We are back once again with Pedro Nunez, one half of the KLB Kayfabulous Lucha Bros. back in the co-pilot seat. This week in part 2 of our series on Cults, we go indepth about Marshall Applewhite, Bonnie Lu Nettles and the Heaven’s Gate cult. Who exactly were Marshall Herff Applewhite and Bonnie Lu Nettles? How did they come together and did they ever come together physically? Were they both really from another planet? Was there an ulterior motive for Applewhite banning sex within the cult? Castration? What happened to Applewhite after the passing of Nettles in 1985 due to cancer? How exactly do organizations like Heaven’s Gate and the People’s Temple finance their operations? How did the Heaven’s Gate followers go out in 1997 and is the group still operational today? We discuss all this and more!

It was a long time coming but Pedro Nunez, one half of the KLB Kayfabulous Lucha Bros. is back in the co-pilot seat. He really brought the goods this time as we went in depth on the phenomena of cults. What draws people to them? What type of people are drawn to them? What kind of person could actually lead these people? We then discuss one of the most famous cult cases in American history that led to the second most deadly single day, non-natural disaster in US history, the Jonestown Massacre. Who exactly was Jim Jones? What caused him to start his own congregation known as the People’s Temple? Is the pathway to Hell really paved with good intentions? When did it all start to go wrong and most importantly, were the warning signs there? We discuss all this and more and don’t forget to return next week for part 2 of our series on Cults!

With no guest this week, we take a look at an ongoing murder case that was sent into us by listener Lars Christian Detlefsen from Denmark. In the middle of this mystery, an eccentric engineer named Peter Madsen who rose to local celebrity status for building his own submarine through crowdfunding and a young journalist with a promising future named Kim Wall. The two met on August 10th for an interview aboard Madsen’s submarine, the UC3 Nautilus. It was the last time Kim Wall would be seen alive. Kim Wall’s decapitated torso would be found almost 15 days later but what happened to her still remains a mystery. Why did Peter Madsen’s statements change over time? Did he murder Kim Wall or was it an accidental death? What caused the UC3 Nautilus to sink? How did Kim Wall become decapitated? We discuss all this and more.
