TRIGGER WARNING: Pretty violent with some laser and gun play but this isn't your first rodeo so hang out for the plot. Chad and Skylar desperately search for a way out and Klor doubles down only to be blindsided by a shocking secret. Constitution? Treason? Hunter's Laptop? these things all pale in comparison to what happens next in the six installment of CVB. #thisisamericanmayhem #chadvsbigfoot #constitution #treason #fucktheoathkeepers You can find Leisa's website at: https://indieitpress.com/ Dustin is on twitter at: @dustinwaine Dustin's instagram is: @dustinwaine Follow us on Instagram @american.mayhem Follow us on Facebook @AmericanMayhemPodcast Find us on Twitter @Podcast_Mayhem
Few American horror stories are closer and more real than the AIDS epidemic of the 80's and 90's and this World AIDS Day our love for the horror genre gives way to reverence for the real horrors American society has both produced and endured. This season of the hit series American Horror Story was one like no other. A season that swapped monsters for men, specters for society, and demons for disease was one that shocked the series back to life with a jolt of reality. As fans of the show and the genre, this season was special for us and this bonus episode took an unexpectedly emotional turn as we broke down American Horror Story Season 11, AHS: NYC #thisisamericanmayhem #worldaidsday #americanhorrorstory #ahs #ahs11 #ahsnyc #lgbtq #lgbtqstories #realhorrorstories #fuckreagan You can find Leisa's website at: https://indieitpress.com/ Follow us on Instagram @american.mayhem Follow us on Facebook @AmericanMayhemPodcast Find us on Twitter @Podcast_Mayhem

Couple of corrections: PEDRO CALDERÔN DE LA BARCA wrote Life is a Dream (1635) and is considered one of the best examples of Spanish Golden Age drama. And Alan Alda is, in fact, AMERICAN. Dan Aykroyd has been on generous loan to us from the good folks of Canada since the 70's.

Lock your doors, pour a yourself a box of fancy red wine, and get ready to enjoy a pleasant night...of MURDER. Dustin and Leisa tell us all about our very own homegrown serial killer as I ponder why Leisa bought duct tape and 50 yards of plastic sheeting for some sort of 'home improvement' project she claims she's been working on.
