VYS0057 | The Weird Review of the Year 2025 - Part Deux - Show notes

As the second half of shit-show now know collectively as 2025 crashes and burns, Hine and Buckley read it its last rites as they prepare for the difficult delivery of a bouncing baby 2026.

Ploughing on through the relentless rain of crap that made up the news between July and December they witness the coming of the mysterious cosmic interloper of 3I/Atlas and the incoherent stream of endless nonsense that Avi Loeb chats about it, several more fantastic fungi, a troubled train driver with chronic insomnia, the completely sensible, benign and not-at-all-horror-movie-fodder thawing of ancient organisms from arctic ice, a genuine fake Bigfoot corpse... and despite sightings of triangular UFOs, Lockheed Martin's new drone and a tentacled alien potato in 2025 did humans become too boring for extraterrestrials to bother visiting us at all? (Recorded 26 January 2026)

Thanks to Unexplained Mysteries who do incredible work keeping a record of weird news stories and make these Weird Reviews possible.
