Kyle is out, but joining us is the comedian, actor, and writer Jonathan Kite. Who has a new movie out – All The Creatures Are Stirring.
Jonathan is familiar with the show, but hasn’t seen it until now.
Jonathan talks about Nightmare on Elm Street’s origins, and how he’s seen a ghost in a girlfriend’s video.
Story 1: The Mystery Of Douglas Hibbard – A man, sick with the cold, checks into a motel and mysteriously stashes something in a safe.
- Tiffany feels like it’s an urban legend.
- Maybe the clerk just messed up the timing of events.
Story 2: Wheelchair Man – A criminal with psychic abilities gives up his cronies after being pushed out of a heist.
- Jesse doesn’t understand why a criminal would help the cops.
- Jonathan doesn’t believe cops would give up a witness.
- Tiffany just thinks burglars are dumb.
Story 3: The Vigil – A comatose woman about to be taken off life support finds a way to communicate with her boyfriend.
- Everyone agrees it was a very forgettable story. But maybe that means it’s true?
- Jesse thinks the boyfriend believed it enough, but it was just a coincidence.
- Maybe it’s too fact to be fact?
Story 4: The Mandarin’s Bowl – After a family trip to China town, a young boy is revealed to be the reincarnation of an old pottery master.
- Jonathan doesn’t understand why the master and student don’t ask more questions. Their reunion is very short.
- Everyone agrees the parents would have freaked out more.
- Tiffany thinks the most ridiculous stories are fact.
Story 5: Ghost Writer – A cruel man hires a ghostwriter who accidentally records a confession of a horrible crime.
- Chris felt it was very similar to Batman Returns.
- Chris pitches the boring theory. So boring that it’s fact.
