In this episode, we discuss the fascinating yet terrifying eccentricity that is Jack Parsons, aka Marvel Whiteside Parsons, aka Frater T.O.P.A.N. What is this guy, a WWE wrestler? Truth be told, I think I would rather sign up for a John Cena sized can of whoop ass to be opened on me than mess with Jack Parsons. Seriously, this dude was known to try and conjure forth various demonic entities for no other reason than to see if it would actually work. And we are supposed to be shooketh to find out his house was severely haunted? So much so that he hired a priest to come by on a weekly basis to cast out whatever supernatural rabble he had managed to coax forth from the ether. Side note, this guy had top secret security clearance and basically invented the rocket fuel that got us to the moon. Despite his hobby of hobnobbing with his spiritual betters, you have to stop and marvel at his scientific accomplishments. I’m so sorry, I can’t help myself. He was just such a marvel. Damnit! Even in my remorse I am…..wait for it…..Marvelous. Mic Drop.
