The boys once again sing the unprompted praises of Annihilation in this thinly-veiled excuse for Jake to talk about cave stuff!
First up, it’s a look at scary cave movies and how they compare to real life cave science. Could horrific creatures really lurk in the darkness, waiting to attack? And does any of that matter to a good spooky tale?
Wyatt then answers that question (“no”) with one such decidedly spooky tale: an ancient relic of the early 2000s about Ted the caver! And we do mean ancient: it’s from a literal Angelfire site.
Don’t let the length of this week’s episode scare you: the story contained within will take care of that for you. Now turn out the lights and respectfully cook up some crawfathers while you enjoy these stygian funtimes!
