  • Pretty not too bad

    I enjoy the storytelling, and the sound effects are used really well....

    ....except for the stories that end with high pitched, ear bleeding sounds.

    Thankfully that's not used every time, so I'll give this show 4 stars!

Djinn & Tonic
Q: What is a Djinn and how do they differ from Western genie lore?
Jaylan explains that Djinns are created from smokeless fire and live parallel to humans with free will, capable of appearing in many forms and sometimes being malevolent or benevolent, unlike the often childish or purely magical Western genies.
FIEND DROP: Reputation for the Uncanny (UFOs & Camping Horrors)
Q: What do you think happened to Frederick Valentich?
Many theories contend he experienced UFO abduction, yet others suggest engine failure.
FIEND DROP: Dying to be BOO-tiful
Q: What connections do you see between horror and beauty standards?
Beauty standards are forms of control that lead to a quiet kind of violence against individuals, especially women.
FIEND DROP: Dying to be BOO-tiful
