    Supernatural Yoga Horror 'Mind Body Spirit'

    The writers/directors Alex Henes and Matthew Merenda, and star Sarah J. Bartholomew, of the yoga influencer found-footage horror Mind Body Spirit join the show to discuss the influences behind the new film, and strange happenings in their own lives — including growing up near Waverly Hills in Kentucky, and a ghostly voice that whispered things to Bartholomew. Mind Body Spirit is streaming now.
    More about the film:
    In MIND BODY SPIRit, Anya, an aspiring yoga influencer, embarks on a ritual practice left behind by her estranged grandmother. She documents the practice on her YouTube channel for the world to watch, allowing her audience intimate access to her journey. But what starts as a spiritual self-help guide quickly evolves into something much more sinister. MIND BODY SPIRIT is a high-concept supernatural screenlife horror film that molds the ancient practice of yoga with the modern social media landscape, all with the backdrop of a nightmarish supernatural horror mystery that keeps audiences guessing.

    ‘Oddity’ Director Damian McCarthy

    ‘Oddity’ Director Damian McCarthy

    Writer/Director Damian Mc Carthy joins the show to talk about his supremely spooky — and fun — supernatural retribution horror movie ‘Oddity’ about possessed possessions and a creepy AF ‘Wooden Man’ creature. The film has been getting a lot of buzz — winning awards at South By Southwest and The Overlook Film Festival — and opens July 19 in theaters, and is coming soon to Shudder.
    Mc Carthy joins host Aaron Sagers to discuss his own horror movie upbringing, as well as the creepy setting of his home in West Cork, Ireland — and how his parents’ VHS video store shaped him.
    More about Oddity:
    When Dani (Carolyn Bracken) is brutally murdered at the remote country house that she and her husband Ted (Gwilym Lee) are renovating, everyone suspects a patient from the local mental health institution, where Ted is a doctor. However, soon after the tragic killing, the suspect is found dead. A year later, Dani’s blind twin sister Darcy (also Bracken), a self-proclaimed psychic and collector of cursed items, pays an unexpected visit to Ted and his new girlfriend, Yana (Caroline Menton). Convinced that there was more to her sister's murder than people know, Darcy has brought with her the most dangerous items from her cursed collection to help her exact revenge.

Great show & great host

Great show. Aaron is informed and likable, and manages to have friendly conversations with some amazing guests across a range of topics — and interjects without making it about him.

Side Jen ,

Beyond binge-worthy

Admittedly finding this one later than I would’ve liked, but such a fantastic show. The diversity of topics is unparalleled. The guests are outstanding, educated and engaging. Aaron’s knowledge of all guests and topics drives the podcast with a perfect balance that provides both an understanding and learning opportunity for people of all levels of knowledge and interest in all things strange and unusual. Absolutely loving it!

Colleen all weirdos ,

A fun dive into weird waters!

Host Aaron Sagers is a true prince of paranormal pop culture. This pod takes you on a journey to weird, spooky, and spacey places you didn’t even know you were dying to visit. It’s for all ages, but GenXers, in particular, will love Aaron’s humor and cultural references. I’m a big fan!
