Mysteries of the Somethingverse: The Jersey Devil
If you weren’t aware – and I’m really shocked.. have you listened to the way we tawk… the Somethings live in the Garden State of New Jersey – which I assure you, does have gardens.
That said, it also has swamps and bogs and dark places where the bodies are literally buried. Amongst the pines is the legend of the Jersey Devil – our very own cryptid.
Arguably one of the most famous cryptids, taking the silver beneath Bigfoot, the Jersey Devil is a mystery that we’ve all heard about, but have you? What started it? Where does it live? Does it like Wawa or Quickchek?
Only one way to find out… on Mysteries of the Somethingverse!
Ok, here we go!
The End: Hemlock Grove
Vampies and Werewolves and Magic, Oh My!
It’s time again for the Somethings to journey into the last of a series and see whether or not it holds up. This time, the boys have headed to the Grove – a place where foreigners show up to a small town and all sorts of strangeness goes on.
When the show ends, there are relationships asunder, big fights between monsters, and – well – really a lot of things one of the Somethings wasn’t too sure about.
So settle in – we hope you lychan this episode…
Also! Don’t go away, as the last episode of Stories To Amaze: D E M starts right after the episode ends!
So let’s get to … THE END: HEMLOCK GROVE
Ok, here we go!
Mysteries of the Somethingverse : Bigfoot
It’s time to head back into the Somethingverse – the place where the mystical, the magical, the unbelievable, the quasi-believable, and the weird all converge on two know-it-all jackasses in New Jersey.
What is the topic this week? Why, none other than the biggest cryptid in America – the one that is so big he has an agent… how has the legacy of Bigfoot held the test of time on the internet? Is Sasquatchamania still running wild?
The only way to find out is to head out into the woods… put on your headphones, and dip your toe into the Somethingverse.
Ok, here we go!
Something In Review: Dracula
♫ Creature of the niiiiight….
That’s right – it’s time for the Somethings to deep deep deep dive into the BBC’s newest horror piece, Dracula.
We can’t do it alone – so we got ahold of one of the Something Alums in Megan Salinas (@TheMenguin) – cohost of Silver Screams and No Love Lost
Is this the same powerhouse that was Jekyll? It’s got the same team, as well as longtime Dr. Who showrunner in Stevan Moffat… so why don’t we take a ship across the country and tell you all what Hatton & PCR think.
Ok, here we Count Blah!
TTRPG Party w. B. Dave Walters
Before we get to the episode, we just want to mention a charity that our guest this week mentions: GAMES FOR LOVE, a charity that provides not just games, but camps for programming and coding, to kids in hospitals around the world to ease their stresses through gaming. Please, give it a look and a share.
On to the matter at hand… Tabletop RPG is in a new heyday… all those years where the only problem with sitting and rolling dice with friends was that you couldn’t get people together – well now, you can watch roleplayers roleplay all over the internet!
If you do dig on streaming tabletop, you have probably heard of our guest, B. Dave Walters aka Victor Temple on LA By Night, a canonical Vampire: The Masquerade game streaming with Geek & Sundry (If you haven’t watched, you can start right here!) They have just started their new Chapter, which you can watch live on Friday nights – or B. Dave Storytelling his game on Queue Times.
Where else can you find him.. where CAN’T you!?

Now though, on with the party…
The End – Kindred
Time again for us to skip the years of backstory, the forum posts, the rumor mills, and just go straight… to The End
On this week’s episode, given the spookiness of the month, we delve into a forgotten Tori Spelling vehicle that combines the politics of a 90s Fox show with a gutted version of an RPG classic.
Trenchcoats abound, and we’re pretty sure we’re your Sire now — if you didn’t know this show existed, we wouldn’t be surprised as it had less than a dozen episodes – it is the vampiest of vampies – it’s KINDRED: THE EMBRACED
Free-For-All – NJ Oddities
It’s the extra week of the month, so it is time for us to add a little something extra to the mix.
Have you missed Hatton? It’s ok to admit only a little.. well he is back this week to celebrate the most favoritiest place of the Something’s world… New Jersey.
From the mysteries to the outrageous to the legendary – NJ has a lot of stories going on. In the top 20% for population and bottom 10% for size – we are a dense locale filled with a little bit of everything.
So hang out with the Somethings as we tell you what Exit you can stick it, gnaw on some pork roll from Central NJ (that last one just got a couple people really ticked off) – and discuss NJ ODDITIES.
The End #5 – True Blood
We’ve returned with the last episode of a classic in high romance, high drama, blood drinking southerners.
Does this vampy tale of creatures that go gulp in the night hold up when all you know is the last hour? Find out… on The End of True Blood.
Something In Review #5 – The Thing
On a desolate outpost in Antarctica, a crew have to find out who is like them… and who is different.
In a studio in the middle of New Jersey, two men have to figure out who is right, and who doesn’t like this classic.
So join us, and give a drop of blood to assure that you are the right kind of creature to listen to our review of… The Thing
Something In Review #2 – The Lost Boys
Now that the shine has worn off the new Something Products(tm), it’s time to get into it.
It’s Halloween time, so what better for us to go back and look at, but a classic 80’s vampire flick – arguably the trend setter for thousands of club kids on Something In Review.
So get your grease up your saxophonist, garlic, carve your crosses, and if you are feeling Froggy, you probably should leap. (Get it… because the Cory? …nevermind)
