It's officially October, so we're planning some scary movies for upcoming episodes! We just watched Legend of the Bog (2009), which prompted Ross to plot the decline of Vinnie Jones' IMDB scores over time (this is what happens when scientists watch movies) www.imdb.com/title/tt0928...

A graph with a zig-zaggy blue line showing the IMDB ratings for 79 Vinnie Jones movies in chronological order, which range from about 8/10 to about 2/10. A best-fit line indicates a downward trend over time, starting at about 6/10 and declining to about 4/10.

Was not expecting to see an Australopithecus skull on the finale of What We Do In The Shadows #paleoanthropology

A screenshot form the series What We Do In The Shadows depicting two vampires and a Frankenstein-esque monster seated in three chairs talking directly to camera in a spooky candle-lit vampire house. On the table in front of them, centred in the shot and surrounded by old books and candles, is a cast of a skull of Australopithecus afarensis, situated in a small dead tree or something like a table centrepiece.
