Amanda and Sarah talk wild people and wild theories for this episode. Amanda pulls an M. Night Shyamalan by starting with a story about alleged murderer Florence Maybrick, only to take a sharp left turn into Ripper territory. Sarah heads into the woods for a look at the European Woodwose, a folkloric creature that comes in many interesting, sometimes sexy forms. Other subjects covered include the definition of meat juice and Amanda's wariness of twins.
Recommendations:
Sarah recommends the horror film The Empty Man.
