Kris Williams has the best job in the world. As co-lead investigator with Ghost Hunters International, she gets to travel the world, stay up all night, and hunt ghosts. Pretty much everything we thought would be awesome as kids. Also, waffles.

It’s probably pareidolia, but it might be the agitated spirits of dead inmates. In the black, with the only light being the moonlight shining through the cells’ narrow skylights and bulbs in the KII meter, it’s easy to abandon reason and go with haints.

We got to go on a ghost hunt this weekend at Eastern State Penitentiary, led by Kris Williams. In the dark, knowing you’re in one of the most haunted places in America, knowing that violent people died violently there, you’re pretty much guaranteed to see or hear something.

On Tuesday, the first episode of Marcel’s Quantum Kitchen aired on the Syfy Channel. The oddity of a food show on Syfy is not lost on me, but I think it works. Molecular gastronomy isn’t terribly new, but it isn’t quite mainstream either. So when it was announces that Top Chef’s Marcel Vigneron would be [...]

For all of the flack Syfy gets for not being science fiction, two things can be said about the network. One: they take huge risks in their programming, and two: they provide a home for the strange and unusual (i.e. WWE Smackdown). Enter Marcel’s Quantum Kitchen. Top Chef alum Marcel Vigneron is famous for his [...]

Thank you for bringing to life something that is fun, and interesting. Thank you for showing people how hard it is to make the magic that people make. Thank you for giving us another season to look forward to. Thank you for doing something right.

The viewing public has somehow turned into voyeurs of dysfunction. At least in the days of gladiators, the people fighting each other had some modicum of skill as barbaric as it was. This notion of watching real people being terrible to each other, it doesn’t make sense that this would be entertainment but there it is. Is there a cure for Toxic TV. At this point no. Apparently the more vile and revolting the better. All you have to do is look at the journey one recent celebrity has taken down the rabbit hole of madness to see this proven. Not only is he getting more attention than he had before, but he’s turned his dysfunction into some sort of twisted entertainment.

Am I the only one here watching Face Off on Syfy? Not that I’m a reality show junkie or anything, but I’m a sucker for creative competition shows.

Once we get to the “show” it’s clear by now that you can’t have every season with a Jennifer Hudson or a Chris Duaghtry but then again they didn’t actually win did they? As we get underway to the part everyone enjoys , it’s hard to imagine American Idol sustaining success for another few seasons when it has become less and less about the talent and more and more about the show and and marvelous marketing opportunities it offers Fox in terms if viewers, commercial advertising and merchandising and sponsorship. Shake your fist and yell and say nasty to things to me all you want, answer me this — you may have remembered last season with all it’s up and downs but when is the last time in the past year since he won, that you heard, saw or thought about Lee Dewyze?

By The Sisters Sardonic – This week’s episode gave us some great possibilities. Jael brought a possible Mothman case from a video taken in 2009. As we were both terrified by the movie The Mothman Prophecy, we were eager to check that out. Ben brought up the videos from the moon landing and the possibility of that famous historic event being faked. We asked, “Didn’t the Mythbusters do this already?”

By The Sisters Sardonic – For those who love the paranormal, each new TV season simply astounds with the plethora (thank you The Three Amigos for teaching us that word) of ghost-oriented shows available. Just a few short years ago, one was lucky to find dramatized narratives of ghost stories during the Halloween season, let alone the rest of the year. Now, thanks to the weird and bizarre world we live in, one has a choice of numerous shows not just telling boring stories, but delivering real-life ghost action. Last Sunday night was the premiere of fresh episodes of Paranormal State, back-to-back episodes of haunt-y goodness. So, we Sisters settled in with our review supplies (chocolate truffles, a legal pad, and chocolate truffles) and prepared to be scared.

By The Sisters Sardonic – The biggest event on Destination Truth was watching team member Ali use an iPad. It was almost like they were rubbing it in our faces, “Look how cool we are, we get to use an iPad and all this cool equipment and you have to stay home and watch us on TV.” Okay, we’re jealous already.
