accident – Beyond Beyond Belief

#25 The Beyond Belief Cinematic Universe [S3E6 with Mohamad el Masri]

By Jesse Chapman | May 8, 2018

Chris is out for this episode, but in his place we have guest host Mohamad el Masri, who is a writer on HBO’s Here And Now. Mohamad wants to believe in the supernatural but ultimately comes at things with a scientific approach.

Story 1: Red Line—a reckless race car driver gets a warning from beyond the grave.

Mohamad wonders if the speedway is haunted. Jesse believes that ghosts can haunt people in addition to places. If only Chris were he to answer that question…
Maybe the heat and the fumes caused the driver to hallucinate.

Story 2: Two Sisters—a woman marries her dead sister’s husband, only to discover something strange with the wedding dress.

It’s a logistical nightmare for the sister to switch clothes with her dead sister in the middle of the funeral floor.
The dress may have been un-wearable after the morticians fixed it to the dead body.

Story 3: Eclipse—on the eve of a full moon, a prisoner believing he is a werewolf asks to be placed in a room with no windows.

Jesse believes this one is a bottle episode.
Kyle points out that the vampire segment was true.

Story 4: The Ice Box—when a man suffers from heat stroke outside an antique store, a large block of ice appears at just the right moment.

Mohamad points out that the character in the Little Giants was named The Ice Box.
Mohamad doesn’t buy the initials carved into the icebox. Kyle thinks this detail was just added by writers.
Jesse thinks it was just a hot day in the writer’s room.

Story 5: The Gathering—a burglar attempts to rob four elderly women, but discovers he may be outmatched when strange things start to happen.

The group loves this one so much… but does that make it fiction?
Mohamad thinks it felt too silly to be fact.

The story results are revealed:

Tiffany gets a ZERO.
Mohamad points out the relevance of Beyond Beyond Belief in today’s culture.

#22 The Lesco Desco connection [S3E3]

By Jesse Chapman | April 17, 2018

Turns out music doesn’t play a big part in Kyle’s life, but he like Phil Collins. Mark wants to redo his intro. And the group ponders why you always see only one shoe on a highway.

Story 1: The Find—a newlywed couple run across an old motorcycle with a cursed past.

Actor Constance Zimmer appears in this story, who’s known for such shows as UnREAL, Entourage, House of Cards, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, and much more.
The group agrees that the paramedic cameo was the best part.
Chris thinks ghosts are just fucking with the couple.

Story 2: The Golden Cue—a stranger takes on a young pool hustler for a friendly game.

Kyle thinks the main actor may have been the old man from the annoying Six Flags commercial (he is not).
Mark wonders if pool/billiards stories are urban legends.
Jesse thinks there are too many strange layers to this story.

Story 3: The FBI Story—a small town cop with dreams of becoming an FBI agent mysteriously goes missing.

Chris thinks the realistic version is that the man just snuck into the bog to elude police, but did a bad job of it and just drowned.
No one knows if peat moss can preserve a body. Research after the episode reveals: oh yeah, “bog body” is a thing.
Some think it’s the ol’ complicated theory.

Story 4: The Gravedigger’s Nemesis—a cruel gravedigger is haunted by woman’s eerie song.

Everyone aggress this was a creepy one.
There’s no witnesses to this story.
Chris thinks it sounds like a convenient ghost story.

Story 5: Last Rites—a woman randomly steps into a funeral where no one else showed up and is questioned about it later.

Most think this is a very plausible story.
Jesse wonders why they needed to clarify the coffin as a funeral coffin.

Break: We ask the folks of Beyond Belief Fact Or Fiction to perform their talents in our first annual Beyond Beyond Belief’s Got Talent!

The story results are revealed:

Jesse voted all fact and got three out of five right!
Mark wonders if there’s always three facts per story (there are not).
