The birthday of the King of the Monsters. The breaking of one of sports' most infamous 'curses.' Some chilling 1990s urban legends.
Episode 167 of the podcast rampages through spooky nostalgia like a towering kaiju.
It begins with a trip back 20 years and a moment that will live in New England sports lore forever. For decades the Curse of the Bambino haunted the Boston Red Sox and its fans. In 2004 the curse was finally broken and the Red Sox became World Series champions. We'll look back at that 86-year journey.
Generations of people grew up on Godzilla the King of the Monsters. This week the beloved and also feared creature turns 70. We go way Back In the Day to look at the inspiration for the creation of Godzilla, what went into the original film, and the overall impact of the monster.
Whether plausible or total fantasy there is no doubting that this week's Top 5 is filled with spooky urban legends. We will look back at some 1990s urban legends that filled people with fear, but it will not include the actual Urban Legend movie from 1998.
There is also a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule focused on Black Thursday the catalyst for the Stock Market Crash of 1929 that started the Great Depression.
