Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the '90s, an elite team of podcasters has been selected to journey deep into the jungle, dive deep into the ocean, and dig deep underground to locate some of the deadliest predators ever known to moviedom. Two of cinema's greatest auteurs made creature features that have gone down as classics - Hitchcock's THE BIRDS in the '60s and Spielberg's Jaws in the '70s. In their wake, however, the genre known as “nature horror” took a steep downhill turn into low-budget schlock, and sadly creature features became an endangered species. But for a brief, beautiful window during the 1990s, movies about hungry, hungry critters great and small came roaring back! The genre flirted with becoming mainstream again, nabbing bigger budgets, bigger stars, and monster-sized box office receipts (in some cases). So welcome to Part One of our '90s Creature Sexa-Feature! (“Sex” as in “six.” Get your mind out of the gutter - there might be alligators down there!) In this episode, we unearth 1990's TREMORS, which features Kevin Bacon and Reba McEntire pole-vaulting away from giant worms, then direct all eight of our eyes toward the shrieking spiders of ARACHNOPHOBIA (from that same year), which still has the power to scare at least one of our hosts off his tuffet. Finally, we go bananas for the killer gorillas of CONGO (1995), which features Tim Curry, Laura Linney, and a host of others giving performances that are almost as big as the lost diamonds of Zinj. Pour yourself a green drop drink and pack up that sesame cake, because we're hunting down and rounding up the very finest big screen animal attacks of the 90s! (Survival not guaranteed.)

In this bonus episode, the Unholy Triumverate is skulking around the jungles of Africa looking for green drop drink, cigars, and drugged bananas in Michael Crichton's Congo. Starring Ernie Hudson and Tim Curry (yes we know they aren't the actual leads of the film, sue us), the two must take two boring white bread scientists to the secret city of Zinj with their talking ape Amy. It's both as fun as it sounds but also massively disappointing; Jurassic Park this is not. Mondo-Heather's Heather Drain and Dark Destination's Father Malone join Chris to talk all about the film, dripping blood mouths, and blood thangs.

Then, a star studded cast encounters all sorts of jungle animals while trying to find diamonds and lasers in Congo! Together, our heroes answer the crucial questions.

Brandon and Sarah speculate in a less than informed manner about whether monkeys and apes could still evolve in the shrinking, remote, wild places of the world. They also discuss and partially review “The Haunting of Bly Manor” (SOME SPOILERS!), and generally rip on shows that drag on for far too long. Finally, they wrap things up with some delightfully scarring facts about the reproductive habits of certain freaky creatures.Correction to Sarah’s horrible recollection (to be fair, she was just a teenager when she read the book and saw the movie): The gorillas in Michael Crichton’s “Congo” were not “evolved,” but were instead highly aggressive gorilla/chimpanzee/human hybrids, bred by the ancient inhabitants of the nearby lost city, Zinj, and were white, bordering on having albinism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congo_(novel)Little Nightmares played by Markiplier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G92UYSEOzAMBrandon’s bloody pool body guy(s):https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1532447736800360&set=pb.100001054450965.-2207520000..&type=3 https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1532453400133127&set=pb.100001054450965.-2207520000..&type=3

Congo, released in June of 1995, came hot on the heels of the mega hit Jurassic Park. Like that film, Congo was based on a novel by Michael Crichton. It was also a globe-trotting adventure big on effects and boasting aggressive animals to escape. That, in essence, is where the similarities end. Those correlations, though, were enough for the studio to mass market Congo as if it were the next must-see summer attraction. They spent nearly $100 million burrowing this movie into the psyche of impressionable children; a number that was nearly double its production budget. The campaign included a board game, multiple awful video games, generic action figures, and even a gnarly looking burrito from Taco Bell. In short, expectations were high. Yet, there was one inescapable hurdle: The movie just isn't very good; and for a film that sells you on murderous gorillas, there is a distinct lack of them. Unlike Jurassic Park—which does its damndest to bring dinosaurs back to life—Congo fails to create that same aura around its gruesome gorillas. Worse, it doesn't really know what it wants to be. Marketed to kids, but written for adults, it waffles between tones, never settling on one for too long. It's poorly paced, nonsensically scripted, and under delivers on its initial promise of blood-soaked tension and terror. There is no whimsy to these maniacal apes. Thus, a film that could've been Aliens in the jungles of the Congo is instead a half-baked adventure story, jam packed with overacting and bad accents. The latter of which renders it so silly that it may actually be worthy of cult status. So sit back, sheer off the top of a Sonoran White Chocolate Ale from the Sonoran Brewing Co. with a diamond-powered laser, and stop eating our sesame cake! I, the Thunderous Wizard (@WriterTLK), Capt. Cash, and Chumpzilla are rolling up our sleeves to go toe-to-toe with some skull crushing monsters with an affinity for high-priced minerals! This Week’s Segments: Introduction/Plot Breakdown – Diamonds are forever; this movie's appeal is not. Yes, it is bad, but is it so bad that it's good? (00:00) Fact or Fiction: The Lost City of Zinj – I challenge Capt.

Story: Sie sind den Flugabwehrraketen mit Thermosensor entgangen, haben zentnerschweren wütenden Flußpferden in die Augen gesehen, haben sich einen Weg durch den Dschungel geschlagen, und immer weiter geht die Expedition. Amy, ein Gorillaweibchen, Versuchstier in einem Lernexperiment der Universität, kehrt endlich in ihre Heimat zurück. Ein Professor, eine Elektronikspezialistin, ein Führer, ein Abenteuerer und andere folgen dem umhertollenden Affen. Sie wissen, daß er sie an den Ort führen wird, der mehr ist als seine Heimat - dort befindet sich die sagenhafte verlorene Stadt Zinj mit ihren Diamantenminen. Was sie nicht wissen, könnte sie in Lebensgefahr bringen: Sobald sie Zinj betreten, sind sie die vom Aussterben bedrohte Tierart!

Susan B. Martinez, Ph.D.: The Mysterious Origins of Hybrid Man

SUSAN B. MARTINEZ, Ph.D., Did we evolve from apes, or are we all descendants of Adam and Eve? Why is the “missing link” still missing? Is the dumb luck of natural selection valid? Piecing together the protohistory of humanity through anthropology, genetics, paleolinguistics, and indigenous traditions, Susan B. Martinez offers an entirely original alternative to Darwin’s evolution: Modern humanity did not evolve but is a mosaic of mixed ancestry, the result of eons of cross-breeding and retro-breeding among different groups, including Cro-Magnon, Neanderthal, hobbits, giants, and Africa’s “Lucy” and “Zinj.” Martinez shows that there were multiple “Gardens of Eden” and how each continent had its own blend of races prior to the Great Flood, which caused the diaspora that brought a renaissance of culture to every division of the Earth. Martinez explains Homo sapiens’ mental powers (the Great Leap Forward) in cosmological terms--how we are the product of both heaven and earth. She identifies the “Sons of Heaven” and the angel-engendered races, explaining how Homo sapiens acquired the “blood of the gods,” which endowed us with a soul. Providing the ultimate resolution to the Evolution versus Creationism debate, this landmark study of hybrid man justifies his unexpectedly sudden appearance in the fossil record, the curious parallels between oral histories of the world’s people, and why anatomically modern features are found in the earliest paleontological evidence. SUSAN B. MARTINEZ, Ph.D., earned her doctorate in anthropology at Columbia University, where she also served as a lecturer in ethnolinguistics. She is the book review editor at the Academy of Spiritual and Consciousness Studies and the author of _The Psychic Life of Abraham Lincoln_,She lives in Clayton, Georgia.
