Magical Mystery Radio: Conspiracy & Paranormal Review
NOTICE: If you think we're right wing (or left wing) you haven't really been listening. If you disagree with anything we've said, please engage in civil conversation via email, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, or our website. We love hearing from our listeners. "Inane ramblings from the fringe, half-baked politics from suspect sources, 'open-minded' nonsense about paranormal topics." John and Adam explore trending and historical fringe topics in a sometimes-frustrating, occasionally profound, always entertaining quest for truth.
Episodes
From August 2, 2017:
We interview writer and historian Francis Richard Conolly, the filmmaker behind the explosive documentary and viral sensation, JFK to 9/11: Everything Is a Rich Man's Trick. Released in 2014, it has garnered rave reviews since its release and, probably more than a little consternation from the, "powers that be", as it explains and synthesizes a tremendous amount of information that the elite don't want you to ...
Happy Halloween!
What was the real-life inspiration for THE EXORCIST? What really happened in AMITYVILLE? Was THE ENTITY a demon, spirit, or poltergeist? Who haunts the HOLLYWOOD SIGN? What silent stars STILL can't rest in peace?
Adam and John chew on HOLLYWOOD GHOST STORIES (1986), a delicious slice of vintage 80s direct-to-video cheese.
John tortures Adamski with another political "What's the Word" segment before taking a deep dive into the Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell scandal - and emerging with the disheartening revelation that there is really is nothing new under the sun.
We discuss cancel culture, the masons, breakaway civilizations, secret moon colonies... and one fascinating, mythical "lost" film from the 80s that ties it all together!
We review the documentary CALLING ALL EARTHLINGS. And then we do it one better by actually covering the material that should have been in the movie.
This is the story of George Van Tassel, eccentric, contactee, engineer... genius? Did Van Tassel channel messages from our alien brothers and sisters and use the information to construct a time machine?
Join us and find out!
Is an advanced race of tall, albino-like extraterrestrials from Arcturus living on the Nevada test range?
Has our government struck a deal with the aliens to obtain advanced military technology?
Take a deep dive with us as we chronicle this fascinating, seemingly implausible story from one man who claims it's all true!
We discuss several recent "documentaries" occupying the twilight zone between fantasy and reality. Are these films omens? Augurs of a dark future?
Are we moving into a new dark age of superstition? Is the consensus reality of post-enlightenment reason vanishing in a post-modern haze of news and subjective reality?
And why are the French f*cking with us?
Oh, and John gets a visit from an owl.
COVID-19. Coronavirus. What else is there to talk about?
It's end of the world as we know it, and we feel mostly pretty okay.
- The WEIRDEST inventions of all time.
- John revises his predictions for the upcoming year.
- When you're too stupid to know you're stupid...
- "Mad Mike" Hughes - why the words "homemade" and "rocket" should never appear together in the same sentence (except maybe this one).
- John and Adam discuss 80s horror (plus War of the Worlds).
- Breaking: Man throws snowball at this friend and hits him in the face!
Thirty years of Simpsons predictions: Did the venerable animated series really forecast Kobe's helicopter crash, the coronavirus epidemic, and Disney's acquisition of Fox (not to mention a bunch of other stuff)?
The Cotopaxi went missing in the Bermuda Triangle nearly a century ago. Now it's been found. You know it as the ship the aliens dropped in the desert in Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind. What's the REAL stor...
Adam talks Star Wars (again). John talks politics (again). But really he's talking conspiracy, because what is politics but conspiracy? Right?
Did you know the Pied Piper legend was based on fact? Seriously, it was. Check it out.
John and Adam review their lame and boring predictions from last year, and make new lame and boring predictions for the coming year. Well, there is one fairly bold prediction... Listen and find out what ...
Welcome to our 100% turkey- and pilgrim-free Thanksgiving special!
John and Adam return to the Hollow Earth to discuss oddly compelling stories of lost civilizations and strange peoples. Who were the Green Children? The Moon-Eyed People? Could these have been our starfaring ancestors, now lost to memory? Is the Hollow Earth just a product of the fertile imaginations of pulp adventure writers?
Happy Turkey Day!
Is it real - or not?
It has become increasingly difficult to distinguish between fact and fiction. We live in a time of "fake news" and "deepfakes", under a constant barrage of disinformation and propaganda.
It's only natural that artists would reflect this blurring of the lines in their work. And there's no better place to practice this craft than in the conspiracy and paranormal genres.
Join us as we discuss a few current exampl...
Another exciting episode of, What's the word on the street, Johnny?
John goes all in for Trump just to piss you off!
Just kidding. He supports Tulsi Gabbard!
But what he does reveal is the insanity (and utter stupidity) of our current political discourse.
Look, you don't have to "Like" Trump to understand what's happening.
John spent many years satirizing Trump's flaws as a human being (and there are many), but he now sees that Tr...
Bigfoot prowls the North Carolina woods.
A new kind of UFO slithers through the skies.
Speaking of slithering, has DNA evidence conclusively identified the Loch Ness Monster?
New study concludes WTC Building 7 could not have collapsed on its own.
John discusses the Jeffrey Epstein case. More accurately, he discusses why we're NOT discussing it!
New extraterrestrial object enters our solar system. Is it the end? Again?
Finally... J...
We return to our roots and do a feature-length takedown - er, review - of the new(ish) documentary BOB LAZAR: AREA 51 & FLYING SAUCERS.
Do we think there's life on other worlds? Almost definitely.
Intelligent? Probably.
That they've visited earth? Possibly.
The they've visited earth sometime in the last century? Unlikely, but who knows?
That Bob Lazar actually participated in a government effort to reverse engineer an alien space...
We're back! John explains why he needed a sabbatical from all this... stuff.
What the heck was that thing on Vivian Gomez's security cam? An elf? Dobby? A lost cast member from Mac and Me?
The President and the Mole People.
UFOs (or is that UAPs) hitting the news in a big way. You know when even the New York Times gets in on the act, something's going on, as the establishment almost never takes this subject seriously. Coming discl...
We discuss the tragic circumstances surrounding the death of Isaac Kappy, one troubled individual at the center of last year's Hollywood pedophilia panic. Was it suicide? Or was he "suicided"?
Adam's mind is blown by an astounding coincidence linking Kappy with our previous episode's feature on joining the Illuminati.
We pay tribute to GRUMPY CAT (aka Tardar Sauce) and Stanton Friedman (aka The Man Who Made Roswell).
How one man almost joined the Illuminati - by answering an email. For a secret society, they sure don't seem to be very discriminating recruiters.
John has a dream. And now he has All the Answers. And he's going to share them with us. What is life? Why is life? How is paradox the key to existence? And what's with all the porn?
Quantum physicists prove there is no such thing as absolute, objective reality. Well, that explains a LOT.
...Did you know Jesus wasn't the ONLY one resurrected that day? Or that chocolate bunnies are hollow for your own safety and well-being? Or that "Easter" has absolutely nothing to do with "Ishtar" (despite what that Facebook meme would have you believe)?
Speaking of... Facebook employees have been falling for the conspiracy theories they're supposed to be moderating. What is going on over there?
Of course conspiracy theories are alrea...
