History Unhinged: Rainy Day Rabbit Holes

• Rainy Day Detour: Alien Romulus with Midday Movies

  Rainy Day Rabbit Holes Presents: Midday Musings – Alien: Romulus ReviewWe’re thrilled to feature an episode from Midday Musings with Stephen & Laura, one of our fellow shows in the Umbrella Podcast Collective!In this episode, Stephen and Laura break down the brand-new Alien: Romulus (2024), directed by Fede Alvarez (Don’t Breathe). This movie follows five indentured teen workers trying to escape a Weyland Corp mining colony, only to find themselves trapped on a derelict space station overrun by xenomorphs. With standout performances (David Jonsson especially!), gritty tension, and sharp sci-fi world-building, Alien: Romulus brings back the slow-burn horror we’ve been missing since Alien and Aliens. Shea absolutely adored this film — especially after the weird detours of Prometheus and Covenant — and is excited for you to hear this deep dive. 🎲 As part of our Summer of Saucers celebration, we’re also playing the Alien RPG with other Umbrella Collective shows, and later this summer we’ll release bonus episodes where Shea sits down with Stephen and Laura to chat James Cameron’s Aliens and David Fincher’s Alien 3.

• 77. Fire In The Sky: The Travis Walton Incident

  He vanished in a beam of light. When he came back, he said he’d been taken aboard a UFO. And that was just the beginning.In 1975, 22-year-old logger Travis Walton disappeared without a trace after a terrifying encounter with a UFO in the forests near Snowflake, Arizona. When he reappeared five days later, confused and frightened, he claimed he'd been taken aboard an alien craft. Was it the most credible alien abduction in U.S. history? Or an elaborate hoax designed to escape a failed logging contract?This week, Shea is joined by her brother Jason—recording on location in Arizona—to explore the infamous Travis Walton incident. We break down what happened on that strange November night along the Mogollon Rim, dig into Travis’s vivid and chilling account of his time aboard the ship, and examine how the story inspired the nightmare-fuel film Fire in the Sky. We also look at how Walton has turned this event into a career, and why even some UFO believers think the whole thing might’ve been staged. 👽 Buckle up. It’s gonna get weird in the woods.🎙 Support the show, get bonus content, early access, and more at👉 www.rainydayrabbitholes.com/supportUse code SUMMEROFSAUCERS for 15% off your first month—through June 25 only!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/history-unhinged-rainy-day-rabbit-holes--6271663/support.
