This week's episode dives head first into the story and origin of The Lavender Town Suicides that allegedly took place shortly after the release of Pokemon Red and Green in Japan during 1996.

Also discussed in this episode is the theory that Kevin McCallister grew up to become the Jigsaw Killer from the famed 'Saw' movie franchise. Seems bogus? We'll see!
