    What a Creep
    Season 27, Episode 6
    Ken Starr

    Ken Starr was the independent prosecutor who basically wasted millions in taxpayer dollars to investigate President Bill Clinton. He’s also been on the wrong side of history when it comes to gay marriage, religious freedom, and sexual abuse. Over the course of his career, he argued 36 times before the Supreme Court.
    Oh, and he mentored Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh. Thanks a lot, creep.

  • Creepy Fairy Tale Origin Stories of The Little Mermaid, Little Red Riding Hood & Hansel and Gretel
    Nov 16 2024
    What a Creep
    Season 27, Episode 5
    Creepy Fairy Tale Origin Stories!

    Forget everything you learned from animated films… several beloved fairy tales are far from the joyous Disney creatures we have all seen since childhood. This episode discusses the dark worlds behind Little Red Riding Hood, The Little Mermaid, and Hansel and Gretel. The sanitized versions of these fairy tales we share today keep only hints of these origins, but the eerie stories lurking beneath the surface remind us that fairy tales weren’t always about happy endings.

  • Pat Robertson (700 Club of Creepiness) & NON-Creep Melissa McCarthy
    Nov 8 2024
    What a Creep
    Season 27, Episode 4
    Pat Robertson

    Pat Robertson was a minister, televangelist, media mogul, and presidential candidate. He was head of Regent University and the Christian Broadcasting Network, where he hosted “The 700 Club.”
    He was also a creep who talked all kinds of crap about LGBTQ+ rights, feminism, race, and the right to abortion, all under the guise of religion, to a massive audience on his Christian Broadcasting Network. He was instrumental in creating the Christian Right movement, changing American politics forever, and paving the way for MAGA and Trump. What a creep!
