What a Creep
John Harvey Kellogg
Season 28, Episode 2
Kellogg’s Corn Flakes was the boring cereal in my Kellogg’s cereal variety pack, but it’s the one that started them all. And one of the men behind that cereal was John Harvey Kellogg.
John Harvey Kellogg championed nutrition and a holistic approach to health. But he was also a eugenicist, which, if you don’t know, is the inaccurate theory that humans can be improved through selective breeding of populations. He also advocated for forced sterilization of anyone he deemed unintelligent or immoral. Oh, and he launched a really messed anti-masturbation campaign that saw the genitals of young boys and girls mutilated.

What a Creep Kendrick Lamar & the Drake Feud Season 28, Episode 5 The 56th annual Super Bowl became the backdrop for the intense feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, one of the most significant rivalries in modern hip-hop. Fueled by long-standing tensions over artistic credibility, lyrical skill, and industry dominance, this conflict has been brewing for over a decade. However, it escalated in 2024 with a series of explosive diss tracks. Kendrick's songs "Euphoria" and " Not Like Us " took direct shots at Drake's authenticity, personal life, and alleged manipulation within the industry. In response, Drake released "Family Matters," which questioned Kendrick’s relationships and his status as a leader in rap. Now that the world knows this beef, let’s explore some of Drake’s more problematic behaviors. (Yes, we are Team Kendrick here!) Trigger warning: Grooming and Margo’s aging Gen X brain.

What a Creep The Super Bowl’s Big Wardrobe Malfunction Season 28, Episode 4 It was the wardrobe malfunction seen around the world. We’re going to talk about the infamous 2004 Super Bowl Halftime Show. The entire country lost their collective mind because they got a glimpse of Janet Jackson’s boob for less than a second during what they like to pretend is a family-friendly cultural event. In reality, we’re watching a brutal sport in which men are getting concussions for our entertainment, sandwiched in between commercials for booze and boner pills. Was it a planned stunt? Was it an accident? Does it really matter? Some people just used it as an opportunity to shit on Janet Jackson 24/7, and others used it as an opportunity to get on their soapbox to disingenuously ask, “Won’t someone think of the children.” Sources for this episode Deadspin Los Angeles Times “ The New York Times Presents: Malfunction: The Dressing Down of Janet Jackson ” NPR Rolling Stone Rolling Stone Wikipedia Non-Creepy American Football Charities: USA Football.com: USA Football believes in the passion, intensity, joy, confidence, and sense of community football brings to those who play, coach, and love it.

What a Creep Some of the Creepiest Plots to John Hughes Films Season 28, Episode 1 John Hughes accomplished the remarkable feat of being a quintessential Baby Boomer while still resonating with Generation X and Millennials through his films. Movies—such as 16 Candles, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, Pretty in Pink, and She’s Having a Baby—became essential viewing for generations that felt overlooked by mainstream media. He genuinely seemed like “one of us.” However, when we examine his work through a modern lens, it is difficult to overlook an alarming pattern of racism, homophobia, white privilege, and sexism, as well as some questionable behavior exhibited by the male leads in his films from the 1980s and 1990s. Some of his movies also reveal a rather creepy element when viewed today.

He also had a run of movies in the 80s and '90s. But now, he’s mainly known for lying, for a leaked sex tape filled with his racist and homophobic rants, and for being one of Predator Trump’s few “celebrity” endorsements. What a creep.

What a Creep Season 27, Episode 7 The Disappointment of Gen-X Men Born between 1965 and 1980, Gen X is often referred to as the “forgotten generation.” They were raised on MTV, punk rock, hiphop, the Cold War, afterschool specials, latchkey childhoods, and a healthy dose of cynicism. They gave us grunge music, independent films, mix-tape culture, and some of the best pop culture of the late 20th century. But along with all that coolness came a hefty dose of entitlement, misogyny, and resistance to change—especially when it came to gender equality.Today, we’re going to break it all down: the mix-tape mentality, toxic fandom, the fetishization of the “manic pixie dream girl,” the anti-hippie ethos, and how these dynamics played out with public figures like JD Vance, Dave Grohl, Chris Rock, Joe Rogan, and even Kurt Cobain .

What a Creep Season 27, Episode 5 Creepy Fairy Tale Origin Stories! Forget everything you learned from animated films… several beloved fairy tales are far from the joyous Disney creatures we have all seen since childhood. This episode discusses the dark worlds behind Little Red Riding Hood, The Little Mermaid, and Hansel and Gretel. The sanitized versions of these fairy tales we share today keep only hints of these origins, but the eerie stories lurking beneath the surface remind us that fairy tales weren’t always about happy endings.

What a Creep Harry Powers: The Inspiration for “The Night of the Hunter” Season 27, Episode 3 Harry Powers , often called the "Lonely Hearts Killer," was a notorious American serial killer active in the early 1930s. Born Herman Drenth in the Netherlands in 1892, he emigrated to the United States and eventually settled in West Virginia. Powers used personal ads in newspapers to target his victims, posing as a lonely, wealthy bachelor seeking companionship. He lured women, often widows or divorcées, with promises of marriage and financial security. In 1931, Powers was arrested and charged with the murders of Asta Eicher, a widow from Illinois, her three children, and another woman named Dorothy Lemke from Massachusetts. His murders were shockingly brutal; he confined his victims in a hidden room in his garage before killing them. After murdering his victims, Powers took their money and belongings. Powers' trial received extensive media coverage due to the horrific details and his manipulative use of "lonely hearts" ads. He was ultimately convicted and sentenced to death, being hanged on March 18, 1932, in Moundsville, West Virginia. His crimes have inspired books and films, solidifying his infamy as a symbol of betrayal in love and trust. Harry Powers was also a significant inspiration for the novel and subsequent film The Night of the Hunter. The novel was written by Davis Grubb in 1953 and adapted into a film in 1955. (We covered this on one of my other shows, Book Vs. Movie !)
