The Mothman Prophecies – SSP111

The Mothman Prophecies

Karen has decided to take yet another listener request for our film this week. After listening to our recent Wicked Ramblings episode on Cryptids, Courtney in Columbus, Ohio wanted to hear us review “The Mothman Prophecies” from 2002. Join Greg and Karen as they discuss the film while they enjoy a cocktail called the “Red Eye“. The recipe that Karen found on food.com is below.

Red Eye Cocktail Recipe

• 2 oz tomato juice (you may increase to 4 oz if you like yours a bit thicker as I do)
• 12 oz beer
• seasoning salt (may sub celery salt)
• twist lime (optional)
• olive (to garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Pour tomato juice followed by beer in a chilled mug.
  2. Throw in a pinch of salt and a twist of lime (if using).
  3. Garnish with olives and serve.

A Brief Synopsis: Supernatural thriller focusing on a journalist whose wife experienced a strange moth-like vision immediately before she was killed in a car accident. Two years later, driving to an interview, he suddenly finds himself hundreds of miles out of his way in the remote town of Point Pleasant, where there has been a proliferation of `mothman’ sightings. His research concludes that the visions are omens of disaster.

Some of the topics discussed and highlights of this episode include:

  • Karen gives us a little background on The Washington Post.
  • Dr. Karen tells us all about the Temporal Lobes in the human brain.
  • Our hosts rehash a little bit about the Mothman from the Wicked Ramblings Cryptids episode.
  • Greg makes a reference to “The Twilight Zone” TV show.
  • How long can you hold your breath?
  • Greg makes a rather sad reference to Rush drummer, Neil Peart.
