Strange Highways

S5, Ep. 32 - Mr. Garrity and the Graves

S5, Ep. 31 - The Encounter

This week Terry and Paul get stuck in a hot and sweaty attic with Fenton, a WWII veteran that blames the world for his problems, and Arthur, a Japanese American that has his own history with the war as well. Tensions escalate, secrets come to light, and a samurai sword keeps turning up... 

S5, Ep. 30 - Stopover in a Quiet Town

This week Terry and Paul wake up with hangovers and fully clothed in bed together and meet Mr. and Mrs. Frazier, a couple that had too much to drink the night before and find themselves in a small town that is not their own.

S5, Ep. 29 - The Jeopardy Room

The Amusement Park

This week Terry and Paul take a detour and discuss the recent release of George Romero's 'lost' film, 1973's The Amusement Park.

It's a dark ride, but we all enter the Amusement Park eventually...

S5, Ep. 26 - I Am the Night--Color Me Black

S5, Ep. 25 - The Masks
