They get into what information was new and particularly shocking, what specific rumors got clarified and which show seemed to have the most evil producers. It certainly is worth the watch and comes recommended by both hosts. The series covered in the documentary are The Swan, Kid Nation, Joe Millionaire, The Surreal Life, Hell's Kitchen, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Survivor, Real Housewives, Toddlers & Tiaras and America's Next Top Model.

After the chaos of the first few weeks life in Bonanza City stabilizes – but that doesn't make for great TV. The former pioneers say that as the show wore on, the drama became more contrived, with plot-lines that saw kids portrayed as gambling addicts and anarchists, looting the town stores. It leaves us wondering whether Kid Nation could ever have lived up to its utopian premise?

It's a movie all about how if you're dating a jerk named Burt, you will absolutely end up choosing to deal with the Kid Nation corn cult kids instead. Come along as we meet those little rapscallions who all agreed to murder their elders so they could worship corn! The children are led by Isaac, a guy with a wicked hat who would steal the show on an Andy Cohen reunion show. His right hand child/man is Malachai, a guy who is definitely over 19 but all the other kids seem to have just let that slide cause well, he's the tallest. When Vicky and Burt, a couple with no self-preservation skills, head into town the corn kids get their world rocked and their religion burned to the ground - literally! We've got death, cults, psychic children, and corn... Lots and lots of corn. Released in 1984, it was based on a short story (yeah we could tell) by horror master himself: Stephen King!

TW: child abuse, murder, sexual assault, poisoning, execution   Hi Weirdos! Welcome back to Keep It Weird, the podcast for all things strange & unusual!  As with our last episode, there is no video for this episode WOMP WOMP our bad but have no fear!! Videos will be back in episode 3.     THIS WEEK HOWEVER, Episode 2 of Season 8, we are getting pretty dark.  Usually we like to balance out the darkness with the light (as above, so below - praise Baphomet) but hey sometimes it doesn't work out that way.   Lauren is starting us out with a new segment called REALITY TV CORNER and is introducing us to some REALLY messed up reality tv shows that, not surprisingly, did not make it further than a season or two.  THE SWAN on Fox wherein "ugly" women were given full plastic surgery makeovers to win a chance to compete in a beauty pageant and KID NATION on CBS which should have just been called "Child Endangerment: The Series."   Then Ashley takes the lead to teach us about a man named Jolly who was not very Jolly at all.  Louis Joyland West has some of the clearest and most nefarious connections of ANY scientist to the CIA's top secret (now declassified) program MK ULTRA (1953-1973) and one event he is connected to is so horrific... so monstrous... and so suspicious that you will struggle to believe it.   Check out some links below if you want to do your OWN reading on the topics we discussed today.     Follow us on instagram & twitter @keepitweirdcast.  Subscribe to our YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/keepitweirdpodcast.  Join our PATREON to get two bonus episodes every month + discounts on merch at www.patreon.com/keepitweirdpodcast.  Every penny goes toward producing this show.   Reality TV Corner https://www.reddit.com/r/ask/comments/14y8qg7/what_is_the_most_unethical_reality_tv_show_ever/   https://metro.co.uk/2019/10/22/remembering-swan-noughties-controversial-offensive-reality-tv-series-10962780/   https://www.messynessychic.com/2022/05/04/that-time-reality-tv-made-a-real-life-lord-of-the-flies/   Jolly West/MK ULTRA https://theintercept.com/2019/11/24/cia-mkultra-louis-jolyon-west/   https://www.npr.org/2019/09/09/758989641/the-cias-secret-quest-for-mind-control-torture-lsd-and-a-poisoner-in-chief   https://hekint.org/2024/01/25/louis-jolyon-west-m-d-a-dangerous-doctor/                   ReplyForward   Add reaction
