Amanda and Sarah go goblin mode for this episode about another little fucker and a Hollywood true crime case. Sarah talks about the connection between the Ebu Gogo and the Homo floresiensis on the Indonesian island of Flores. Amanda heads back to the flapper era with the first of a two-part series about Clara Phillips, aka the Tiger Woman. Other subjects covered include quitting coffee, being nude under a trench coat, and roasting America's Next Top Model.
Recommendations:
Amanda recommends (kind of) the graphic novel The Low, Low Woods and the 1978 medical thriller Coma.
