Introducing Family Lore

Steve Brusatte returns to reveal the shocking truth behind his new book The Story of Birds – that the dinosaurs never actually went extinct. He explains how raptors like Velociraptor evolved feathers, how wings and flight may have started by accident, and why birds were the ONLY dinosaurs to survive the asteroid that wiped out T-Rex and the rest. He shares behind-the-scenes stories from working on the Jurassic Park films, what Hollywood gets right (and wrong) about dinosaurs, and the fossil discoveries that prove just how wild prehistoric life really was. He also gets into giant “terror birds” that hunted like apex predators, penguins the size of gorillas, massive flying birds with 20-foot wingspans, and the real reason birds became some of the smartest animals on Earth. Plus, how everything from a chicken’s foot to the pigeons on the street connects directly back to dinosaurs, and what that means for how these creatures evolved, adapted, and survived against impossible odds.  Purchase The Story Of Birds: https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-story-of-birds-steve-brusatte?variant=44045618085922 📸 Instagram: @steve.brusatte Thank you for supporting our sponsors Cymbiotika: Go to https://Cymbiotika.com/Jericho to get 20% off and free shipping Shopify: Sign up for your $1 per-month trial today at https://shopify.com/JERICHO   Talk Is Jericho is available on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/ChrisJerichoFozzy Don’t forget to Like, Subscribe, and hit the 🔔 to stay updated on new episodes!

Lee Cronin dives into Lee Cronin's The Mummy and why it’s nothing like any Mummy movie you’ve seen! He breaks down the dark twist involving a missing child, a sarcophagus, and a family dealing with something far more sinister, how he reinvented the monster with a psychological, possession-driven approach, and why this horror unfolds in broad daylight. He reveals how he built the film around intense practical effects, including a brutal “toenail” sequence, and an evolving, grotesque transformation of the mummy, and explains why real, in-camera scares always beat CGI (tracing that philosophy back to his childhood obsession with making homemade effects, building blood packs, fake skin, and shooting DIY horror on a camcorder). He also talks about the influence of Poltergeist, why Jaws is still the gold standard for suspense and practical effects, and how the success of Evil Dead Rise, along with collaborations with Sam Raimi and James Wan, led him to take this wild, genre-bending swing at The Mummy.

Jorma Taccone joins breaks down his wild run from Saturday Night Live writer to creating over 100 SNL Digital Shorts, including how “Lazy Sunday” changed everything, the chaos of pitching MacGruber (and bombing hard in Lorne Michaels’ office), and how that sketch turned into a cult classic movie that still sells out theaters today! He shares behind-the-scenes stories about Bill Hader impressions, Anne Hathaway quoting MacGruber on a Christopher Nolan set, and why John Mayer almost did the MacGruber TV theme song. Jorma also talks about directing his new thriller Over Your Dead Body, winning the Audience Award at South by Southwest, filming in Finland, working with Jason Segel and Samara Weaving, and balancing comedy, violence, and suspense. Plus, stories from the SNL writer’s room pressure cooker, the lost Talk Is Jericho MacGruber episode, why comedy timing really comes down to frame-by-frame precision, and the true story about the meaning of his own name.

UFO expert researcher Ryan Sprague returns, and there’s A LOT to unpack… from viral “aliens are real” comments by Barack Obama to Donald Trump promising full UFO file declassification to the White House quietly buying aliens.gov.  Ryan breaks down the latest congressional UFO hearings, whistleblower claims about secret “legacy programs,” and the push to expose private aerospace companies allegedly working on recovered non-human craft. He dives into the mysterious disappearance of Air Force General Neil McCasland, his connection to Tom DeLonge, and what it could mean for disclosure. There’s talk of UFO crashes in Brazil, recovered alien bodies, and the U.S. allegedly retrieving off-world tech. Ryan also shares details about the Calvine UFO photo (the clearest image ever captured) and the decades-long cover-up behind it. Plus, what’s really happening in Hollywood with Steven Spielberg, upcoming “disclosure” movies, and whether entertainment is being used to prepare the public. And Ryan explains the Bob Lazar S4 story, reverse-engineering alien craft, and a new documentary recreating the inside of a secret facility. There’s also the strange new interstellar object “3I Atlas,” and why some scientists think it could be artificial. And if that’s not crazy enough… could UFOs actually be tied to AI? Is the real “alien invasion” coming from technology we created ourselves?   Talk Is Jericho is available on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/ChrisJerichoFozzy Don’t forget to Like, Subscribe, and hit the 🔔 to stay updated on new episodes!

Jamie from True Crimecast returns to break down one of the most calculated and terrifying killers in modern history – Israel Keyes. He didn’t have a victim type, he didn’t follow patterns, and he didn’t stay in one place. Instead, he buried “kill kits” across the country, flew city to city, and randomly selected victims while carefully studying law enforcement tactics to avoid capture. Jamie explains how Keyes operated for years without detection, the shocking methods he used to plan and execute his crimes, and how one single mistake in Anchorage involving victim Samantha Koenig ultimately led to his arrest. From cross-country murder trips and bank robberies used to fund his crimes, to the disturbing details that surfaced after his capture, this case is as methodical as it is horrifying. Plus, why this case remains so chilling, how many victims investigators believe there could be, and the unanswered questions Keyes took with him to the grave.

Chris Jericho hits the stage at the TCL Chinese Theatre during Screamfest Horror Film Festival for a live Talk Is Jericho Q&A after the premiere of Big Baby! Writer/director Spider One breaks down how Big Baby went from a joke in Allegoria to a full-blown horror movie, the challenge of making a “killer baby” concept terrifying, and why playing it straight made it even creepier. Krys Fox talks acting, producing, editing the entire film, and building the emotional core before the chaos hits, while actor Brandon Scott details balancing madness, vulnerability, and a psychological breakdown across a 13-day shoot! Chaz Bono reveals what a producer actually does on an indie horror set, how the film became a full-on family affair (including Cher demanding “more blood”), and why his cameo scenes had to be reshot to hit harder. Adam Marcinowski explains becoming “Big Baby,” building a physical performance under a mask, and the subtle details that made the character terrifying. The panel digs into online critics, creative ego, manifesting horror into reality, insane indie production stories (13 days, 11 locations), practical efx fails, reshoots, and the wildest kills in the movie. Plus, favorite scenes, behind-the-scenes chaos, emotional breakdown moments, and the line between what’s real… and what’s all in your head.

Luke Hemsworth shares what it was really like growing up in the middle of nowhere Australia with brothers Chris and Liam, and how building “Hemsworth death traps,” dodging danger, and discovering movies from random VHS drops helped launch three global acting careers! He talks about the pressure of following Chris into Hollywood, getting fired early on because his accent “wasn’t New York enough,” and how that setback pushed him to master American accents for roles like his new film Beast. Luke also breaks down Beast, working with Russell Crowe, the brutal MMA realism, and why the fight scenes feature little to no stunt doubles. He dives into his breakout run on Westworld, what it’s like going toe-to-toe with Anthony Hopkins and Ed Harris, and the lessons he took from watching them work up close. Plus, stories from Neighbours, shooting in extreme conditions from Thailand to Thunder Bay, and whether a Hemsworth brothers project will ever actually happen  BEAST Available In Theaters April 10, 2026 OFFICIAL TRAILER (Courtesy of Lionsgate): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJN2mJ4uOas Talk Is Jericho is available on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/ChrisJerichoFozzy Don’t forget to Like, Subscribe, and hit the 🔔 to stay updated on new episodes!
