Summary

This week on the show we're looking at a VERY specific, and kind of complicated topic: things on television that are inadvertently scary or traumatizing. Some of our list of topics came directly from listeners, others came from our own childhood. Sometimes kids shows and movies tell stories that are a little TOO freaky! We're looking at YOU, Alice in Wonderland, Rugrats, Salute Your Shorts. And don't think YOU'RE off the hook, PeeWee's Big Adventure, Brave Little Toaster, Raggedy Ann and Andy, Return to Oz, and Willy Wonka. Shoutout to Genesis and Rumplestiltskin...We hate you.

0:18.2	William. And today we didn't talk about what we're going to call this. How do we
0:21.9	phrase this?
0:22.6	It's a very tricky topic.
0:24.2	Long name, scary stuff in children's entertainment?
0:29.7	Except that's not really true because I have a Genesis music video I'm going to talk about.

0:47.0	Yeah, yes that has been somewhat traumatizing or freaky.
0:51.0	Yes, some of these are popular some of these are going to be things. It's essentially a list. We've got ten
0:55.0	items here that we're going to talk about. Some of them are popularly known as
0:59.8	as inadvertently spooky things or nightmare fuel as I continually see them referred to
