Naptime Nightmares #067 - DON'T GO IN THE FOREST (featuring Lex Mooney)
<p>After you hear friend-of-the-show Lex Mooney share these stories of mysterious disappearance, law enforcement incompetence, and the occasional preventable death, you'll have learned three lessons: </p> <ol> <li>Children are slippery beasts.</li> <li>Your ABCs (Always Be Clinging to a friend so you don't accidentally die on a hike).</li> <li>THE FOREST IS A TERRIFYING PLACE.</li> </ol> <p>A huge thanks to Lex for being on the show (and David Paulides for collecting these stories in his book, Missing 411)! We can't wait to hear what you have to terrify us next. </p> <p>BLOG: <a href= "https://ttkmeup.com/blog">https://ttkmeup.com/blog</a> </p> <p>MERCH: <a href= "https://www.teepublic.com/stores/things-that-keep-me-up-at-night?utm_campaign=8157&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=Things%2BThat%2BKeep%2BMe%2BUp%2Bat%2BNight">https://www.teepublic.com/stores/things-that-keep-me-up-at-night?utm_campaign=8157&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=Things%2BThat%2BKeep%2BMe%2BUp%2Bat%2BNight</a></p> <p>PLATFORMS: <a href= "https://linktr.ee/ttkmeup">https://linktr.ee/ttkmeup</a></p> <p>PATREON: <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/ttkmeup">https://www.patreon.com/ttkmeup</a></p>

Naptime Nightmares #066 - The Gay Deceivers (1969)
<p>Happy Pride Month! We're kicking it off with a review of an LGBTQ cult classic. The Gay Deceivers (1969) was one of the first American films to portray include depictions of homosexuality after the elimination of the Hays Code that plagued Hollywood for decades. While we initially selected the film because of an oh-so-viral video of Michael Greer, we were splendidly surprised with how comfortably camp the film was.</p> <p>The film follows two friends, Danny Devlin and Elliot Crane, who decide to dodge the draft by pretending to be in a gay relationship. Due to rules regarding the membership of homosexuals in the military in the 60s, they were quickly taken off the draft list. However, Danny is soon plagued with paranoia that the recruitment officer doesn't believe them and is investigating the validity of their claims. The only solution, Danny decides, is to move into a cozy bungalow with Elliot and pretend to be newlyweds. </p> <p>We lived, we laughed, we loved. </p> <p>BLOG: <a href= "https://ttkmeup.com/blog">https://ttkmeup.com/blog</a> </p> <p>MERCH: <a href= "https://www.teepublic.com/stores/things-that-keep-me-up-at-night?utm_campaign=8157&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=Things%2BThat%2BKeep%2BMe%2BUp%2Bat%2BNight">https://www.teepublic.com/stores/things-that-keep-me-up-at-night?utm_campaign=8157&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=Things%2BThat%2BKeep%2BMe%2BUp%2Bat%2BNight</a></p> <p>PLATFORMS: <a href= "https://linktr.ee/ttkmeup">https://linktr.ee/ttkmeup</a></p> <p>PATREON: <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/ttkmeup">https://www.patreon.com/ttkmeup</a></p>

Naptime Nightmares #065 - Watermelon Man (1970)
<p>Huge thanks to Behind the Slate Podcast for turning us on to this underexposed gem - give 'em a listen and follow them on Tiktok (which is where we saw the video that inspired this episode).</p> <p>These two white girls from Southern California were woefully unaware of the powerhouse that is Melvin Van Peebles - a man who basically set the standard for what would become known as Blaxploitation film. This episode changed that. </p> <p>Don't let the movie's premise (a bigoted white man becomes Black) scare you off. Watermelon Man is one of the most direct, honest, and unflinching satires we've ever seen. There are so many moving parts that work seamlessly together to perfectly capture the manufactured nature of whiteness - and Van Peebles did it all in 31 days. </p> <p>But that's not the best part. The best part is the story behind how it was made in the first place. You've gotta hear it. Pinky promise.</p> <p> </p> <p>BLOG: <a href= "https://ttkmeup.com/blog">https://ttkmeup.com/blog</a> </p> <p>MERCH: <a href= "https://www.teepublic.com/stores/things-that-keep-me-up-at-night?utm_campaign=8157&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=Things%2BThat%2BKeep%2BMe%2BUp%2Bat%2BNight">https://www.teepublic.com/stores/things-that-keep-me-up-at-night?utm_campaign=8157&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=Things%2BThat%2BKeep%2BMe%2BUp%2Bat%2BNight</a></p> <p>PLATFORMS: <a href= "https://linktr.ee/ttkmeup">https://linktr.ee/ttkmeup</a></p> <p>PATREON: <a href= "https://www.patreon.com/ttkmeup">https://www.patreon.com/ttkmeup</a></p>
