Doom
Tonight
Henry Foister,
Kat Klockow,
and
Ceiling Cat Barbara Duncan,
discussed the History of Doom, and Doomsday et al, whilst I was attending a SAG Nominating Committee Black Mass screening, with a director and cast Q&A afterward.
Kat indicated less concerned with a "regular" Doomsday, than she would with a zombie apocolypse.
She cited ancient scibes predicting the obviously-soon end of the world, albeit thousands of years ago.
Henry indicated the ending of the Mayan Calendar, and the Y2K panic.
CC mentioned the Bloodmoons, the rogue
planetoid
or comet
Niburu,
the Killshot Solar Flares, and
alien invasion/s.
Henry brought up an aspect of the holographic universe theory that
reality is a simulation.
An update on Henry's wife Patsy/Nyla was conveyed.
Henry mentioned the possiblity of asteroid strike, a la Chixalub
(without naming it).
Kat related how as a girl she went camping in what was a ancient meteor strike, by then nature overgrown.
Henry posited climate change, and thoughts were exchanged about whether such is cyclical, etc.
Various aspects of terrorism was touched upon, such as bio-terrorism.
CC added that with melting ice caps, ancient bacteria could be released to which we may have no immunity.
Henry wondered about the Hadron Collidor creating some sort of major catastrophe.
He also brought up the possibility of robot uprising/s, under the title grey-goo.
Henry provided various percentages of various extinction probability scenarios.
Kat indicated a 1960 "science" article predicting that 2026 would be when the earth's population would officially be enough to exhaust earth's resources.
CC indicated the September 21st Bloodmoon, closest to the autumnal equinox, this one also being a lunar eclipse.
Henry brought up that during the 1346-1351 black plague years was the sign of the end times.
Kat reported, from
Smithsonian.com,
various famous doomsdays that didn't quite happen.
They mentioned but none could remember the Heaven's Gate cult right off, until CC suddenly recalled.
Meanwhile, Kat managed to amusingly stumble over various consenants, particularly when reading ancient creatively-spelled names.
CC mentioned a few predictors, such as the
recently deceased
"prophet"
Harold Camping
and
Criswell.
CC also began positing about zombies; how they went from simple shamblers to brain eaters, apparently unaware of the campy
The Return of the Living Dead
film that introduced brain eating into the
Night of the Living Dead
mythos.
Tonight CC reported tonight the show having listeners in the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, and Unknown.
Segueing from zombies, the three wondered the nutritional value of human flesh...
CC indicated the film
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World,
far less melancholy than the accurately named
Melancholia.
Not pointing out he couldn't remember the film's title, Henry spoke of
On the Beach,
from which Kat mentioned the TV series
Last Man on Earth.
Kat did find the top ten "best Earth in distress" movies, including
Armageddon,
The Core,
The Day After Tomorrow,
the meh 2008
The Day the Earth Stood Still,
Deep Impact,
Independence Day,
Knowing,
Mars Attacks!,
2012,
and the Tom Cruise
War of the Worlds.
Just as CC wondered why
Omega Man
didn't make the list, on playback I had to wonder why no one thought about
The World, The Flesh and the Devil.
Henry brought up a few more false prophets, such as Jim Jones, Pat Robertson, Edgar C. Wiznet, Nostradamus, et al.
Without my presence, Kat had to call out Henry using a strong double-negative.
Meanwhile, no one would 'fess up to some strong paper rustling...
Kat indicated the issues that would have a
zombie outbreak fail quickly.
Henry wondered about all the major bases and bunkers the powers that be have been constructing
(for use only by the powers that be),
in order for them to wait out some as yet publicly unknown upcoming disaster.
Henry asked
Pat McCormack
in the chat room if he thought arriving aliens would be hostile.
Henry then called Pat into the show.
Pat pointed out how there has been a Do Not Engage order, considering how often pursuing jets have either vanished entirely or been shot down by UFOs defending themselves, and their being able to selectively shut down jets' weapons systems.
He also indicated their origin might be Orion's Belt, due to pyramid alignments.
He thought perhaps Rigel or Regulus; though it's relatively considered the Greys are from Zeta Reticuli.
Henry reminded everyone that next week he and Kat would be broacasting live from
Hill View Manor.
Kat gave out
@Paraviewradio,
the show's Twitter account; that we can be emailed at
theparanormalview@gmail.com;
that I have the archived shows "somewhere on [my] website"
(meaning my
Paranormal View hub
page, at which one can find the show's respective report pages);
and that the show is also
available on iTunes.
Henry gave out the show's
official website
on which are links to my page/s.
They did not mention our very
findable on Facebook,
and/or my Followable
Twitter presence,
et al.
Henry enticed CC to give out her
Twitter account.
Ironically, Kat completely neglected to give out her own
website,
and/or her
@katklockow
information, and/or her being admin for the show's
Twitter presence, and/or her
@jinxedcomic
Twitter account...
