Cabbage Shakes and Energy Snakes: Three Bizarre New Cults

Humans have always been seekers of truth. We’re not always great at finding it, but we’re always lookin’.

Give us a confident, charismatic personality with the right buzzwords and promises of enlightenment, and we’re much too eager to hand over our judgment…and our wallets. Today, our special guest Noah Lugeons—cohost of God-Awful Movies—will help us pull the lid off three especially noxious cults. Well, two cults and one cult-lite.
