Description

If your child comes you and tells you that Spirit Airlines is telling them stuff that only they can hear, call a doctor or licensed psychologist. If they tell you Spirit Halloween is telling them stuff, ask where the next location will be! But in all seriousness, this week Hannah is telling Katy the absolutely WILD story of the Children of Thunder, aka: Taylor Helzer and his two devoted followers that caused the horrific deaths of five people. We literally popped popcorn for this. It's got (theoretical) Brazilian assassin children, sloppily planned extortion, gaudy disguises with overly detailed back stories, and a narcissistic brat at the center of it all.  

So pour your drinks, pop the popcorn, and put in the earbuds (this one is NOT child friendly!)

CW: graphic violence and brief mention of self harm.
