The latest Purple Stuff Podcast is here, and this episode is (Robert) stacked. Join us for our fourth trip into the wild world of UNSOLVED MYSTERIES!

If you’re familiar with our prior episodes about the classic TV series, you know the drill. Me and Jay plucked six segments out from the show’s seventeen thousand seasons, this time covering everything from angels to aliens to… aphrodisiacs? Yes, really.

These Unsolved Mysteries pods are absolute monsters to complete, but we always love to do ‘em. Whether you’re in the mood for something creepy, cheesy, or both at the same time, we’ve got you covered.

Click here to listen to this month’s show!

…which you can also find on Apple, Spotify, and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

Thank the lawd that Unsolved Mysteries has fully embraced the streaming era, and is so easy to watch on so many platforms. I remember a time when there was a hot market for unofficial DVDs, which generally looked terrible, if they even played at all. We’ve come a long way, baby.

The podcast is loaded with clips, but if you actually wanna see the segments we’re discussing, follow the links below!

1) The Belgian UFO!
2) Resurrection Mary!
3) The Minnesota Iceman!
4) Aphrodisiacs!
5) The Las Vegas Fraudster!
6) Do Angels Really Exist?

Thanks so much for your ears, and for sharing the show around! We’re over ten years deep into doing this podcast, and we so appreciate your continued support! Read More…

The latest episode of the Purple Stuff Podcast just dropped, and we think it’s a suitably cozy one for the dead of winter. (Emphasis on “dead.”)

Join me and Jay from Sludge Central as we dive into a 1986 network television broadcast of Friday the 13th Part 2! Edited for time *and* content!

Even without the gore and bad words, Part 2 remains my favorite film in the franchise. While it lacks the “party movie pizazz” of later installments, the more grounded approach really suits it. (I say “grounded” as if a severed head isn’t a major plot point in the movie, and arguably its third most important character.)

We’re looking at a complete network broadcast from November of 1986, exactly as it aired on WFLD 32 out in Chicago. Complete with commercials, for those who prefer their Friday the 13th discussions with sidebars about Pizza Hut.

…which is also on Spotify, Apple, and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

It was so great to see Friday the 13th Part 2 the way it was meant to be seen – with ads for Dimetapp and Wrigley’s Spearmint gum sandwiched between the killings.

As a reminder, the Purple Stuff Podcast is also on Patreon, where you can grab an exclusive bonus show every month, and get instant access to our immense library of past bonus episodes. There are around ninety of them in there, waiting for your ears! Read More…
