Happy Halloween everybody! Here's our scariest offering yet: a failson vanity project by a Getty scion who did so much meth it ultimately killed him
Friend of the show and man who was not torn apart by dogs on October 26th 2025 as foretold by Afroman, Thomsen (@mood_probiotic), joins us to talk about 2017's The Evil Within (original title The Storyteller), the first and last film by Andrew Getty, brought to you by decades of billionaire psycho familial trauma and an insane amount of meth. Starring real actors and shot with a real production budget in the early 2000s, The Evil Within is a movie about a mentally disabled man who is tormented by his evil mirror double Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes) into doing a Son of Sam style serial killing to open his own personal Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. It's like if Tommy Wiseau had 20% of David Lynch's artistry and sleep paralysis every night of his life. Plus, Thomsen tells the most insane story ever shared on the podcast.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
