| 0:00.0 | Deep in the mountains of Greece, the country's most-wanted man has been on the run for over a decade. |
| 0:07.0 | He's a bank robber, a barajah shunnelz, a kidnapper, but to many Greeks, he's a hero. |
| 0:14.0 | His name is Vasili Spaliokostas and we're on the trail of the man behind the men, a modern-day Robinhood who steals from the rich and gives to the port. |
| 0:23.0 | A miles great. Listen to the Good Deep on the iHeartRadio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. |
| 0:53.0 | Hey everybody, are you ready for a brand new podcast that you had no idea existed? I'm Roy Scovovol and I'm Daniel van Kirk and it's the Penpals podcast. Maybe you've had a penpal before, where you have two of them right now. You send us your letters about anything going on in your life. Got a mean grandma, need a new haircut, whatever it is, send it to us and we have guests like Wolf Feral, Andy Sandberg, Rose Byrne, Brett Goldstein, |

| 1:35.0 | Welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind from HowStepWorks.com. |
| 1:39.0 | Hey, welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind. My name is Robert Lamb and I'm Joe McCormick and actually no, you're not Robert Lamb, you're DJ radio truffism. |
| 1:54.0 | Oh yeah, and what you're doing today. Oh, it would clearly be DJ Crypto Caucus. We'll get to that later. So today we're going to be talking about radio activity and radio friendly organisms. |
| 2:07.0 | But to start us off, I wanted to take us back to something that happened a couple of weeks ago. |
| 2:12.0 | Okay, so we sometimes go on Facebook live, the live streaming media service and talk about inane garbage, movie trailers. |
| 2:22.0 | Not inane garbage, important be movie and sometimes non be movie trailers and discuss the ways that they tie into our discussions here in the podcast and the topics that we cover. |
| 2:33.0 | Well, there's nothing wrong with inane garbage that wasn't inherently a pejorative. I mean, I love inane garbage. Right. So we went on Facebook live and we were talking about giant crab movies, a film genre that I think is severely under realized. |
| 2:49.0 | It has a lot of potential. There's just not enough there. You young aspiring filmmakers out there need to get on the giant crab movie train. Yeah, it's as easy as buying a real crab or catching one on the beach and filming it. |
| 3:01.0 | Right. Put it in close up. Yeah, you can't even post it in low people. Yeah, it's amazing. And one of the movies we talked about was attack of the crab monsters. |
| 3:11.0 | So this was released in 1957 directed by as I would call him the crud wizard, Roger Corman. And it is a plot. You've heard a million times before a scientist go to an island in the Pacific where there has been atomic testing. |
| 3:26.0 | And eventually they have to square off against a couple of giant intelligent sort of psychic crabs project their voices into your dreams stuff. It's it's odd. It's a script by Charles B Griffith, who is a regular Corman writer. He's the same guy who wrote, who wrote little shop of horrors, not of this earth. And one of my favorites, it conquered the world. |
| 3:51.0 | Oh, yeah, that's a good one. Where earth is attacked by an artichoke with an under bite. Yeah, and of course you end up with a long the best part of that movies you have lengthy scenes in which Levant cleaf and Peter Graves discuss the philosophical |
| 4:06.0 | quadris related to alien invasion. What does freedom really mean? Yeah, so I have a special place for that film to anyway, in an interview Griffith, the screenwriter of attack of the crab monsters tells the story about where this screenplay came from. |
| 4:25.0 | And he says Roger Corman came to him and said, I want to make a picture called attack of the giant crabs, obviously the name evolved a little. And then Griffith says, I asked, does it have to be atomic radiation? |
| 4:39.0 | And Corman responded, yes. And you know, that's kind of the way it was in the sci-fi and horror of the 1950s. We went through the atomic age. It was a we of course had just had a world war that was concluded with the use of atomic weapons. |
| 4:57.0 | And it was almost like if you're Corman thinking about Griffith coming to you saying does it have to be atomic radiation again. It's like, why are you even asking? Of course this movie has to be about atomic radiation, making animals bigger, more powerful, sometimes more intelligent, more rampagey versions of those same animals. |
