Amanda and Sarah look at cool, spooky or just plain weird methods of fortune telling. Amanda examines the history of phrenology, the extremely problematic practice of categorizing people by "reading" their head bumps. Sarah shuffles through the fascinating origins and evolution of tarot cards. Other subjects covered include possible #daddy Engelbert Humperdinck, the bowel-moving magic of P. F. Chang's, and murders with mystical connections.  Recommendations: Sarah recommends watching the super psychic X-Files episode "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose."

Super Metroid was a really cool game, and we take a good look at it this week and fondly discuss how dope Samus Aran is. So dope. Did you know that there were YTV pogs? We didn't either and it's upsetting. Oh yeah, and the results are in for March Dino Madness. Connor was upset for a while then not upset at all but then a bit upset again. This tournament is a roller coaster of emotion. This week's episode is brought to you by the 80's horror movie podcast Neon Brainiacs. Check their show out at http://neonbrainiacs.libsyn.com/! They've also got a band called Pummelled which you can find at http://pummeled.bandcamp.com/. Wanna be a $10 episode sponsor? Drop us a line at stuckinthe90spodcast@gmail.com for more info.

This week Matt and Lance sit with fellow Pittsburgh podcasters Gregg and Ben of The Neon Brainiacs podcast. We talk and joke about the scary movies on the shelves, the mall jobs of our youth, "Neckflix and chill", the great Beavis and Butthead heist, The '90s PSA, "Cartoon All Stars to The Rescue", and a whole lot more! This is a really funny one, don't miss it!

Episode 1! For the premiere of Neon Brainiacs, we tackled Blood Rage (aka Slasher, aka Nightmare At Shadow Woods). This wacky slasher follows twins Terry and Todd after Terry commits murder at a local drive-in and frames Todd. Ten years later, Todd escapes to set the record straight. We'll talk about chipped ham, straight edge revenge and buying condoms from Ted Raimi in a public restroom.
