Back in 1962, the Tornados released "Telstar" a spaced out instrumental written and produced by Joe Meek. It was the First Record by a British Rock Group to Reach Number One in the US Hot 100 and it set Meek apart from the record producers of his time. We explore "Telstar" and the Meek's career and legacy, from ingenuity to outer space to paranoia and beyond. Plus, a jaw-clenching Mouthgarf Report and I See What You Did There!

The Quiet Rapture is upon us. There's an ocean of blood. And lots of clues and questions. On this episode we discuss 2026's Iron Lung, the first film directed by Markiplier. We dig into the plot, the cosmic horror, and try to make sense of it even though none of us had played the video game on which the film is based. Plus, the MouthGarf Report, and I See What You Did There!

Can we ever really know who we are? And does self-knowledge come with an incredible cost to ourselves and others? Maybe! We investigate the First Philip K. Dick Adaptation, with a 1962 episode of the British TV show Out of This World on his short story "The Imposter." Plus, we do a medium dive into PKD's life. And there's lots to discuss in the MouthGarf Report! Plus, I See What You Did There!
