48. Vampire Research Centers

On October 23, 2026 a new batch of UAP files dropped, and guess what was included? That's right, witness testimonies from 2010 from people living near Skinwalker Ranch (we did a deep dive on this crazy place in ep. 45)! Christine and Ethan examine what's in this 60 page document (including worm cryptids and old-lady-like-creatures!) and discuss why the government decided this was the time to disclose this info.Tiktok & Insta: @twoblackcatsprod

Booooo Facebook. Boooo Mark Zuckerberg. In this episode of Director's Cut, Ethan and Christine discuss the movie's take on how social media is actively harming society and answer groundbreaking, insightful questions like "is Jeremy Allen White hot??" (yes) and "should Jeremy Allen White and Mikey Madison's characters have kissed?!" (no but also yes).Insta & Tiktok: @twoblackcatsprod

Just as people can be good or evil, spirits can be quite multi-faceted. And some just want to lend a hand. Like lighthouse keeper Fred Jordan who saved two boys from drowning... 26 years after his death.Tiktok, Insta, YouTube: @twoblackcatsprod

Crossover episode with Director's Cut! In possibly the spookiest scariest episode of all Christine and Ethan discuss IRL supervillain Elon Musk, fresh from watching the new documentary MUSK. Not only has he dismantled our government and democracy, but somehow he's also found time to lie about his cars, impregnate multiple women to spread his seed (ew), implant chips in people's brains, and more, all while believing we live in a simulation! Truly, how does he do it all? Drugs. The answer is drugs.Tiktok & Insta: @twoblackcatsprod

Double feature! First we watched Primetime, then we watched Predators, a documentary from 2025 - both about the Dateline NBC show To Catch A Predator. And we have clashing, uncomfy thoughts about all of it.Insta: @twoblackcatsprod

Arguably the most famous shadow person, Hat Man is unnaturally tall, has a silhouette blacker than night, no discernable face, and is always wearing his trademark wide-brimmed hat. Who the heck is this guy? And why have so many people seen him slinking around?!Tiktok & Insta: @twoblackcatsprod

A skeptical Dr. Stephen Kaplan founded the Vampire Research Center in the 70s to discover if there was any truth behind the vampire tales. By the 80s he was a full believer due to his many experiences - including phone calls with a mysterious self-proclaimed vampire named Elizabeth.Tiktok & Insta: @twoblackcatsprod

Welcome back to the second ever episode of Director's Cut! This time Ethan and Christine are fresh from the theater where they saw Practical Magic 2, and they have lots of thoughts about this witchy tale. Stay tuned at the end for a special appearance by Christine's sister Katherine!Tiktok & Insta: @twoblackcatsprod

Third Man Syndrome is the well-documented but not-well-understood phenomenon that occurs when a person is in a life-threatening survival situation and feels as though there is an additional companion with them, offering guidance and comfort. Sometimes manifesting as an unseen presence, sometimes as a voice, and sometimes as a fully physical person, many survivors have credited this "third man" with saving their life.

Keep your kids inside! Today we're talking about the titanic, legendary flying cryptid the Thunderbird. Variations of it have been spotted all over North America - from birds the size of planes in Alaska to dragon-like creatures in Arizona newspapers.Tiktok & Insta: @twoblackcatsprod
