This week on Something Planet, John J Murray is joined by artist and creative force Mark Castle for a conversation that covers everything from Pride Month and the role of art in modern culture to jury duty, weird news, and the general confusion of living in 2026.

The guys discuss Pride, creativity, painting, and the strange ways artists and audiences interact in the social media age. They also dive into the bizarre story of people reportedly emerging from the sewers of New York City like they're auditioning for a reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and examine the growing trend of "Teen Takeovers" happening across the country.

In Massive Media, they review:

• The Mandalorian and Grogu
• I Love Boosters
• Dicks: The Musical
• And several other movies and shows that caught their attention this week

It's an episode full of art, culture, weird headlines, and the kind of conversations that can only happen when you put a podcaster and a painter in the same room.

John J Murray and Eric Readinger return with another descent into the strange, the paranormal, and the deeply unsettling.

This week we explore a new study suggesting that alternate-dimensional versions of ourselves may actually influence our thoughts, emotions, and decisions. So if your life feels chaotic lately, there’s now a non-zero chance another version of you in a different reality is making things worse.

We also discuss the disturbing disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s mother, who has now been missing for over 100 days, and how stories like this always seem to drift into territory that feels far stranger than coincidence.

Then things get extra conspiratorial as we look into the growing list of scientists, researchers, and engineers connected to UFO studies, advanced propulsion, and alternative energy projects who ended up mysteriously dead or missing. Is it paranoia? Bad luck? Or are certain doors not meant to be opened?

We also dig into newly released UFO-related files from the Department of War, including reports that somehow raise more questions than answers, plus the bizarre story of a couple who claimed they became trapped driving through what appeared to be a vortex or looping stretch of reality where time and direction stopped making sense.

And finally, we talk about the new paranormal series Widows Bay on Apple TV+ and whether it captures the true feeling of creeping supernatural dread… or just reminds us we should never trust coastal towns in fiction.

Reality feels thinner every week on MYST.

This week on Something Planet, John J Murray is joined by Bradley Gilmore for an episode that somehow connects veganism, literary success, roast comedy, and one of the strangest internet trends imaginable.

The guys talk about John J’s short story “The Barrel” being officially published by ISSUED Journal at issuedjournal.com, proving once again that years of podcast brain damage can occasionally produce art. They also get into veganism, the fine art of roast jokes, and a brand-new “looksmaxxing” trend that should probably require medical supervision.

In Massive Media, they review:

• The Boys Season 5
• The Long Walk
• 28 Years Later
• Ballerina

From superheroes to zombies to Keanu-adjacent assassins, the guys break down what’s worth watching and what deserves to be launched directly into the sun.

Funny, weird, and deeply unserious in all the right ways.

Host John J Murray sits down with comedian and fellow veteran Te Davis for a real, unfiltered conversation about what’s going on in the world—and how it actually affects people who’ve lived it.

We dive into veterans’ issues, leadership concerns, and why so many are questioning decisions coming out of the Pentagon. From there, we get into the escalating conflict involving Iran, where tensions remain high with no clear resolution despite massive military action and global fallout .

Then it gets even more surreal: the rise of robots and AI on the battlefield. From logistics bots being tested in real warzones to drones and unmanned systems taking over frontline roles, warfare is starting to look like science fiction .

We also talk about the tragic story surrounding Clavicular’s overdose, and in a much-needed shift, break down what we’re watching lately—movies, shows, and everything in between.

Real talk, dark humor, and a little bit of “how did we get here?” energy.

Host John J Murray is joined by Jean Bygene for a wide-ranging episode about life in what can only be described as the dumbest timeline.

We get into some real wins as John J celebrates his short story “The Barrel” being accepted into a literary journal, proving that occasionally, things do go right. We also talk about the upcoming 3 Ugly Mugs appearance at History as a Joke at the Tampa Bay History Center on April 16 at 7pm, where they’ll somehow explain the history of hockey.

From there, it’s Easter talk, stand-up comedy, and the usual existential confusion.

In Weird News, we cover the bizarre and unsettling story of a stand-up comedian whose final wish involves going on a rampage, because apparently even last wishes aren’t normal anymore.

In Massive Media, we dive into Robert Kirkman’s shows based on his comics, breaking down what works, what doesn’t, and why his universe keeps expanding.

Smart, absurd, and slightly unhinged—just another episode of Something Planet.

Host John J Murray is joined by Jander Gray and Bradley Gilmore for an episode that somehow connects disc golf, Fabio, stand-up comedy, and looksmaxing into one very questionable conversation.

We break down the rise of disc golf culture, debate peak Fabio, and get into the realities of stand-up comedy—plus whatever the internet thinks “looksmaxing” actually is this week. Then we fire up a round of AITA, where moral clarity goes to die.

In Weird News, we tackle the story of the head of FEMA allegedly being teleported, which raises a lot of questions and answers none of them.

In Massive Media, we review DTF St. Louis, Rooster, and the upcoming Scrubs reboot, because nothing says modern entertainment like bringing everything back from the dead.

It’s ridiculous, it’s unfiltered, and it somehow all makes sense while you’re listening.

Eric Readinger and John J Murray are back in the deep end of the weird, and this one spirals fast.

We kick things off with the Vril Dossier—a rabbit hole involving secret energy, shadowy elites, and the ongoing internet obsession with why powerful people keep showing up in public with unexplained black eyes. Coincidence? Secret societies? Underground fight club for billionaires? We investigate with the level of professionalism you’ve come to expect (none).

Then we take to the skies with stories of winged humanoids—terrifying, human-shaped creatures spotted around the world that definitely aren’t birds, bats, or anything science feels comfortable explaining. Are these cryptids, interdimensional beings, or just something that really wants you to stop going outside at night?

And finally, we break down the absolute chaos of the Miami Bayside Mall Incident of 2024—the viral story involving police swarms, internet rumors of shadowy creatures, and a whole lot of “nothing to see here” energy that only makes it feel more like there was something to see there.

It’s conspiracies, creatures, and just enough paranoia to make you question everything—especially anyone wearing sunglasses indoors.

Host John J Murray is joined by JJ Curry for an episode that covers comedy, conspiracy, music debates, and international headlines.

First up, the guys talk about Stormy Daniels launching a stand-up comedy tour, mixing storytelling and stand-up after years in the spotlight. From there the conversation gets strange as they ask the internet’s favorite question: is Jim Carrey actually an imposter or just extremely Jim Carrey?

They also get into questionable music choices, the latest headlines involving Iran, and the long-running rap rivalry between 50 Cent and T.I..

Comedy, conspiracy theories, hip-hop drama, and global politics collide in one of the strangest episodes yet.
