391 - Skinny Folks Go To Heaven: The Remnant Fellowship Cult

Did you ever think that overeating, specifically, could send your soul to Hell? Or that not losing enough weight, fast enough, could jeopardize your salvation? These are just some of the many terrible (and bizarre) messages that very skinny self-proclaimed "prophetess" Gwen Shamblin Lara preached before she died in a plane crash in 2021.   Sadly, the cultish church she built, lives on. And this week, we explore (and mock) its weirdly weight-centric teachings.

Jim Miller. Killin' Jim. Right before stepping off a wooden crate with a noose around his neck, in front of the members of the lynch mob that wanted him dead, Miller claimed to have killed 51 men.

390 - The Florida Vampire Murders

On the night of November 25th, 1996, Rick Wendorf, 49, and his partner Ruth Queen, 54, were beaten to death with a crowbar inside their home in Eustis, Florida, by a vampire over 500 years old known as Vesago. At least that's what their killer believed. "Vesago" was really Rod Ferrell, a sixteen year-old from Murray, Kentucky, who lost himself in a vampiric role playing game, and truly thought he'd become an immortal bloodsucker. Watch the Suck on YouTube: [https://youtu.be/Tj4P-thTEdc] (https://youtu.be/Tj4P-thTEdc) Merch and more: [www.badmagicproductions.com ] (http://www.badmagicproductions.com/) Timesuck Discord!  [https://discord.gg/tqzH89v] (https://discord.gg/tqzH89v) Want to join the Cult of the Curious Private Facebook Group?
