The What Cast #309 - Nostradamus and WW3

When you think of the term soothsayer you likely imagine a crusty old bearded guy warning Julius Ceasar to beware the Ides of March.  Either that or you wonder to yourself what the Hell a Soothsayer is.  Whether you want to call them a fortune teller, a seer, a psychic, these guys are known for foretelling future events.  This week we take a look at the Grand Daddy of them all, Nostradamus.  Nostradamus is known for predicting many future events using vague and poetic language.  Some of these prophesies are hoaxes, spread around the internet, others could be misinterpretations.  Maybe some are legit.  Look, man.  I don’t claim to know the answers to the future, that’s above my pay grade. 
 
Anyway, this episode, Mateo goes over a bunch of poems that point to the future apocalypse and Mike tries to convince him that Nostradamus was just writing biblical fan fiction.

The What Cast #308 - Star Gates

The term “Star Gate” really kind of jumped into the public eye with the release of the Kurt Russell movie in the 90s.  Before that time, most people had no idea what the Hell a star gate was, or even that it was (maybe) a thing. 
 
Well, friends, this week we decided to devote this episode to reviewing the Kurt Russell/James Spader classic in all its glory.  We will get into behind the sce-
 
Wait.  What?  Oh.
 
Ok.  Change of plans guys.  I’m sorry to let you down, but we will not be extensively reviewing Star Gate, instead we are going to talk about areas around the world that may potentially harbor a star gate.  We will get into conspiracies behind the wars in Iraq, make a brief stop in Egypt, and talk about Kurt Russell’s buzz cut.
 
Man…What a movie, eh?
