Join Ciara and Jad as they deep dive into notorious stories, both historical and personal. Improvised and highly inaccurate 'dramatic recreations' abound.
Join Ciara and Jad as we dig deep into some serious topics in this heartfelt episode. First we stand firm in our support of trans people everywhere and speak out against the horrifying anti-trans legislation coming out of Texas, Idaho, etc. Then we discuss a true story of psychologist John Money and his tragically mercenary gender-reassignment malpractice against twin children. Finally we lighten the mood by connecting the transphobia dots to the 1983 cheapo slasher gem, Sleepaway Camp! This episode is packed with Oopsy goodness! PS - Jad tells a story that happened in 2002, not 2003 as stated in the show ;) Connect with us on social media!

Magnum Oops RETURNS to the world of hilariously inept filmmaking with 1987's Christian evangelical short film, The Pretender! Here Jad shares a story of the time they were given the hard sell sales pitch on not going to hell (it didn't work!) Then we record a commentary track over this movie, and realize that it's actually a pretty good instruction manual on how to deceive others for personal gain! Connect with us on social media!

Magnum Oops RETURNS with something new - a commentary for a cheesy vintage Evangelical Christian film! 1992's Second Glance is an ultra low-budget riff on It's A Wonderful Life starring the Tom Cruise of these types of things, David A.R. White. Will our hero see the error of his ways and fully embrace Jesus by the end of the movie? OF COURSE HE WILL. Will you also get to hear a story about Ciara's Christian youth? OF COURSE YOU WILL.

Get ready for an extra helping of OOPS as we bring in our improv comedy friend Lucia! She's not going to let the fact that she hasn't listened to the show keep her from telling us all about every episode we've recorded. We'll learn who REALLY made Dark Side Of The Moon, hear about the time she nearly met a famous person, and what RPG actually stands for (it's Repetitive Person Gouging).
