Ghouls love cryptids, an animal claimed to exist but never proven. Adrienne and guest, Leo Buckley of San Francisco Bay Area band, Hazzard's Cure objectively debate about a giant squid attributed to have murdered a few Russian scientist upon its discovery. Sticking to the tropes of a really good (or really bad) B movie it can hypnotize, shape shift and shoot deadly venom. Don't forget the part where Putin has designs to use it for military purposes.   Links: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/130205-antarctica-ice-life-moons-science-environment-lakes https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/120208-russians-lake-vostok-antarctica-drilling-science https://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/735175/vladimir-putin-killer-octopus-organism-46-b-russian-army-secret-weapon-russia Hazzard's Cure #Organism46B #Cryptids #Horror #BMovie #Military #MilitaryTesting #Putin #GhoulsJustWannaHaveFunPodcast
