Plug in to your worst nightmare.
Technology Terror month continues with 1993's GHOST IN THE MACHINE.
A serial killer's soul is transferred into a computer network after a freak accident, allowing him to continue his deadly spree through the electrical grid. As victims pile up, a determined woman, her tech-savvy son, and a skilled hacker team up to stop him before it's too late. Did The Boys find this one to be broad band quality or 56K? Find out here!

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
