Warning: prolonged exposure to Polybius can cause headaches, blurry vision, loss of memory, insomnia, small fires, night terrors, and questioning the validity of one's perception of reality. We managed to take the whole brunt of it, but using the proper safety precautions is advised.

There's a hex on our podcast, one that's caused our lives to become very surreal and full of weird animal people. We keep falling down these time holes. If you listen to the episode, maybe you can help us break it.

So, you pressed the button, and it brought you here. The last button led to an explosion, the button before that caused you to have a vision of an angel, the button before that made green slime appear everywhere, and the first one you tried had dogs. So what now? Needless to say, we're not really sure what's going on either.…

Do you like guns (if you're from the US, you don't need to respond, we already know the answer)? If so, you're in luck, because we've got a movie with more guns than you can imagine (approximately eight). If not, well, this movie has enough stylistic flair and Hays Code dodging for everyone.
