Wahhhh but also ACK! We are leaving you with some wonderful night calls from our wonderful listeners. But of course there is also a call about how The Big Chill and Cathy comics are connected, some rhapsodizing about monoliths (new and old), and a decision on what show is better: Frasier or Cheers. Some sentimental night calls to send us out, our favorite episodes and guests, reminiscing about Girls In Hoodies, and where we’d send our listeners to help fill the void. We promise we’ll be back someday on some astral plane. So long for now. Thanks for listening to Night Call. NOTESHelloCullen Frasier tweet https://twitter.com/HelloCullen/status/1333086443481141248Alissa Walker tattoo tweet https://twitter.com/awalkerinLA/status/1332887007161270272Third monolith https://www.npr.org/2020/12/03/942056802/the-monolith-mystery-deepens-as-a-3rd-oddity-pops-up-in-californiaiamamiwhoami https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IamamiwhoamiMaryhill https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryhill,_WashingtonHot and Rich https://twitter.com/hotandrichshow?lang=enJoan Haley Ford on Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/joanhaleyfordSound Only https://www.theringer.com/2020/8/4/21354364/introducing-sound-only-with-justin-charity-and-micah-petersBad Gays https://badgayspod.podbean.com/Scary Cool Sad Goodbye https://scarycoolsadgoodbye.substack.com/p/scary-cool-sad-goodbye-01Creature Feature https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-creature-feature-30054205/Ologies https://www.alieward.com/ologiesJane Marie's substack https://seejanemarie.substack.com/Tess's weather newsletter https://tinyletter.com/LAWeather Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are joined this week by writer and actress Mara Wilson to discuss how acting classes can function like cults and why. Mara reveals her personal Alison Mack story and talks about how we can protect child actors on sets. Then she tells us about her personal isolation tank experience and we try to figure out hacks for making isolation tank like experiences at home. At the end of the episode we have a very bittersweet important announcement about the show.Notes:Mara's Substack https://mara.substack.com/Mara's Twitter https://twitter.com/MaraWilsonMara's book, "Where Am I Now?"https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/318758/where-am-i-now-by-mara-wilson/The Landis Twilight Zone lawsuithttps://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1987-05-29-mn-2189-story.html...and how he broke child labor lawshttps://www.nytimes.com/1986/10/30/us/assistant-on-fatal-film-says-he-didn-t-want-children-in-scene.htmlFranco's acting schoolhttps://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/james-franco-acting-school-lawsuit-894571/ Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Emily is off this week, but Tess and Molly are taking your night calls about Joseph Smith, sphinx monuments, and the devil's tritone! First it's a night call about the Devil's Note, which some listeners liked and others did not at all. Then an email about Joseph Smith's head on the body of a Sphinx, and whether the "Salamander Letter" is a forgery (yes.) Molly waxes philosophical on the newest Housewives franchise: Salt Lake City, and reveals some behind the scenes info she got about why this series is so bonkers. Then it's prophetic dreams - who had them and why? Are they real, or self-fulfilling prophecies? What are our recurring dreams and nightmares? All this and women who marry their step-grandfathers, on an all new Night Call!NOTESPlay around with creepy musical intervals on this handy virtual pianohttps://www.musicca.com/piano"Happy Birthday" copyrighthttps://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/02/happy-birthday-is-public-domain-former-owner-warnerchapell-to-pay-14m/History of "Happy Birthday" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Birthday_to_YouJoseph Smith sphinx https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/11817Salamander letter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salamander_letterCafeteria Cathoicism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cafeteria_CatholicismMary Crosby https://www.bravotv.com/people/mary-cosbyClay Higgins dream tweethttps://www.huffpost.com/entry/louisiana-clay-becca-higgins-premotion-guns_n_5f93691bc5b6a2e1fb615ae1Abe Lincoln's dream https://rogerjnorton.com/Lincoln46.htmlDid MLK know he would be assassinated?https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-43545620Ariana Lenarsky twitter https://twitter.com/aardvarskTitanic prophetic dream https://wormstedt.com/GeorgeBehe/page9.htmThe Test Dream https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Test_DreamMore dreams!

November is Dreams Month at Night Call, and we're kicking it off with some incredible dream calls and emails from listeners. Of course there are also more pyramids and architecture talk too. This time it’s Brasilia - the faded poppy mid-century utopia that is Brazil’s capital, and The Summum Pyramid - the mummification temple from 70s religion Summum in Salt Lake City, Utah. Would we get mummified and more importantly, would we let Summum do it? But also: a viral Tik Tok about the Christian conspiracy that the COVID vaccine will implant a chip in your body that is actually the Mark Of The Beast (this makes it sound cooler than it is). And our first in depth missive from dreamland - a listener who believes they heard a weird frequency online that led them to have an experience they interpreted as demonic possession. We interpret their experience and talk about the power of frequencies and music to influence or induce emotional states. All this and Exploding Head Syndrome, on an all new Night Call!Notes:Dramatic MAGA tiktokhttps://twitter.com/AndreaRussett/status/1323878382975676417Background on on vaccine/mark of the beast conspiracieshttps://www.crosswalk.com/church/pastors-or-leadership/ask-roger/is-the-covid-19-vaccine-the-mark-of-the-beast.htmlDo not work order for Songbirdhttps://deadline.com/2020/07/sag-aftra-songbird-do-not-work-order-los-angeles-shoot-pandemic-1202976458/Valley of the Dawn/Dawn Valleyhttps://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/2018/09/religion-psychic-medium-extraterrestrial-sunrise-dawn-valley-brasilia-brazil/Dawn Valley wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vale_do_AmanhecerSummum Pyramid https://www.summum.us/pyramid/Exploding head syndromehttps://www.bbc.com/future/article/20150409-i-have-exploding-head-syndromeMore on EHS https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.livescience.com/amp/45532-exploding-head-syndrome-sleep-disorder.htmlMolly on brain zaps at MTVhttp://www.mtv.com/news/2742210/lexapro-kanye-me-molly-lambert-on-the-ghosts-of-ssris/Explore dot org https://explore.org/livecams Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week we delve into the OTHER cult Mark Vicente was a member of: Ramtha! Learn how putting a tiny paper pyramid on your head might make you channel an ancient racist spirit.

We’re joined by Lazor Wulf writer Nikki Mayard to wrap up The Vow with a nylon sash. Why did the editors save all the men’s rights stuff for the 8th episode? Did seeing Keith Raniere go full Frank TJ Mackey explain how people got so deep into this cult? Did he also maybe murder a bunch of women? Who is the best Vow character: Mark, Sarah, Catherine or Nippy? How privileged do you have to be to get into this kind of group? Will season 2 explain it all or just make everyone more frustrated? Then it’s another edition of Pyramid Pals with a great call and email about our fave buildings. What’s the deal with ancient mounds? What is the best corporate pyramid, and should we save corporate pyramids from the wrecking ball or let them be lost to time?

This week on Night Call we have Sadie Dupuis aka Sad13 as our guest! But first it's an update to Pyramid Pals with a call about a recently demolished but also fairly recently built glass walled pyramid for a pharmaceutical company. Why wouldn't Amazon want to operate out of this futuristic pyramid building out of a dystopian movie, too on the nose? Then we're joined by Sadie to discuss haunted portraits, haunted studios in Texas, and isolation tanks (probably also haunted).Notes:Richardsonian RomanesqueMassachusetts pyramid pic MA pyramid demo videoMiles Klee on 12' skeletonsRyan WhiteStew Leonard's animatronicsHaunted PaintingSadie's haunted painting inspoCarradine doppelgangerNo music for ICE campaignSonic RanchTornillo hauntingsSadie's website DOT HORSESadie's twitterSadie's 'gram Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Emily is back with tales from the Pyramids of Wyoming and Nevada: the railroad ghost town of the Ames Monument, and driving past the current ghost town of Las Vegas glimpsing the Luxor Pyramid after whispers that MGM plans to blow it up soon. Then it's all calls and emails, starting with another call about the New Age to Q Anon phenomenon (Q Age). After that a listener in Australia calls in to talk about climate change around the globe, and why AQI (Air Quality Index) sites are all over the place. A night email about a public art project involving payphones leads to a pleasant discovery about its purpose. We finish up with time travel paradoxes, real and created by people on drugs, to talk about Twelve Monkeys and what you'd warn people about if you travelled back to January 2020. NotesAmes Monument Blowing up the Luxor"Conspirituality" Purple AirFutel phones Cicada 3301Futel site The Call Center Marina Abramovic Microsoft ad Time travel paradox "Sinbad's Shazaam"Evil eye pendants  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Emily is on the road again, so it's just Tess and Molly this week taking calls calls calls, calls from the public! First we get a call from a listener debating whether or not to go to a family wedding. We talk about the no-win situation that is Coronavirus weddings - what to do when your family won't cancel, and why everyone should cancel big family events this fall and winter if possible even if they put money down. Then it's Spanky's, the secret Los Angeles afterhours speakeasy that went viral for sending out this email: “Somewhere in Los Angeles, we’ve curated a small intimate space where friends, lovers, bartenders and bootleggers, DJs, musicians, wanna-be celebrities, drug dealers and baristas, pimps, prostitutes and Johns can come together and reacquaint ourselves with the nightlife that we once loved and lost.” Would you go to a sketchy after hours listed at a location that turns up as a random houseless section of Mulholland Drive thrown by promoters who are known creeps? Then it's Altered States!!! Ken Russell's 1980 drug nightmare comes to life through our words. Now more than ever we need movies about sexy druggy academic types putting themselves in drug induced dream states to push it to the limit. Tess and Molly talk about whether we'd get in the isolation tank, with or without William Hurt, Bob Balaban, and Blair Brown, and why Total Recall raves and San Junipero type digital escapism are so appealing right now.

A listener calls in with a harrowing tale of getting pressured into going to Disney World and then having a panic attack immediately afterwards. We discuss the prevalence of lockdown cabin fever leading to risky decisions immediately followed by intense regret. Then we get into The Social Dilemma on Netflix, and why we didn’t really like it. For the second half we are joined by writer Justin Charity for a reunion of Emily’s pod It’s Cool To Like Anime to chat about Psycho-Pass and more.Noteselemental article about covid transmissioncriticism of the social dilemmajustin charity at the ringersound only at apple podcaststravis scott x mcdonaldspsycho-pass season 1 trailerergo proxy trailer Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
