In this episode, Jeremy and MOZ explore the deep, dark underbelly of the mysterious owl mythos. The owl has been the death omen and harbinger of doom since time out of mind. The owl has always been inextricably linked to monsters, yet they remain ignored. Isn't it time someone got to the bottom of this darkest of mysteries?
Thank you as always to Mr. Tim Leavy @ https://www.timleavy.com/ for the greatest theme song ever!
