45:50

Madeline and Dan have some riveting content to share with you all, and each other, this week! We jump in right away with not one, but TWO movie trailers for upcoming films that are causing unparalleled excitement in our Grim Cities family. The first trailer hails from a movie by the director of Madeline’s favorite horror flick – Barbarian –, Zach Cregger. The second trailer reunites Dan with one of his favorite horror franchises from childhood. And both movies are set to be released this summer! 🤩 But most importantly, we wrap up today’s episode by beginning to explore how Spiritualism played a large role in propelling women into more influential societal roles, and jumpstarting women’s rights on several levels.

Madeline starts today’s episode off by once again traumatizing Dan with a video that makes him question all of his life choices that lead to this very moment. Things get even wilder when we regale the listeners with a real-time account of a murder that took place in the Australian Outback of Larrimah. And for our main story today, we discus a small unassuming bridge in a rural area near Henderson, Minnesota. Visitors say that crazy eerie things occur when driving over the bridge…which makes sense as the bridge’s unofficial moniker is Crazy Annie's Bridge. Yeah, no thank you… Pick up some merch today: https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-grim-cities/ Be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook @TheGrimCities or email us at thegrimcitiespodcast@gmail.com!…

Did you know that the Lincolns were heavily involved in the world of Spiritualism? Yes, those Lincolns…as in the 16th President of the United States and his wife Mary Todd. Today you’ll learn how they went through a whirlwind of change and grief, potentially turning to Spiritualism to make sense of it all. But before we jump into any of that we have to discuss something super important: Madeline and Dan are going to a live stage show based on the Insidious universe. It sounds absolutely terrifying! 😱 We also hold some space for the nostalgia that is Goosebumps, because the series has been revamped for a whole new generation on Disney+.

Dan cheated this week and looked ahead one day on the horror trivia calendar…blasphemy! But it was worth it because we learn another interesting fact about Buffalo Bill for the second day in a row. Madeline keeps the trend going by sharing another heart-pounding tidbit about a modern serial killer who used a hit game show to find his victims. But most importantly, today we’re introduced to three of the most influential women of the Spiritualism movement: the Fox sisters. Were they naturally gifted, or was it all a farce?

We start off today’s episode with a video that will make Madeline and Dan question reality. Did they really just see an inanimate object move on its own? Well, the whole country of Mexico seems to think it did!
