In the fourth installment of our “Banned Toys” series, Ryan discusses some of the most tasteless and controversial video games of all time. The one thing all these games have common? SEX!

As we conclude our coverage of the notorious Dr. Kevorkian we dive into his treatment of over 130 terminally ill patients, his imprisonment, his run for congress, his art, and as always, what it all means. 

This week on Culture Dumps we begin our series on Dr. Jack Kevorkian, aka Dr. Death. While he is best known for his work in the field of physician assisted suicide, this man was truly a jack of all trades and what some might even call a renaissance man. Kevorkian may be one of the most misunderstood public figures of the 1990s, but his story begins long before that so beloved decade.

On this episode e conclude the saga of the ill-intentioned and ill-fated television network known as Spike TV. We dive into their selection of programming and find that Spike wasn’t SO bad. But not being so bad is not enough to thrive in the world of television, and we will learn that lesson in this episode.

This is part one of our coverage of the “network for men” Spike TV. From the ashes of The Nashville Network came a new television channel that aimed to cater to the world’s biggest douchebags. With borderline x-rated content a la Maxim magazine, Spike TV gave guys a place to be guys, for better or worse. This episode also marks the return of Freaky P himself, Parks Miller!
