Under the Docs 030:Beware the Slenderman (2016) Oct 14, 2026

Show notes

UNDER THE DOCS SPOOKTACULAR

It's time to get spooky.

In this special Under the Docs Spooktacular episode, Paranoid American and Uncle Sean dive into the disturbing 2016 documentary Beware the Slenderman, which examines one of the strangest and most unsettling true-crime cases to emerge from internet culture.

In 2014, two 12-year-old girls, Morgan and Anissa, attempted to murder their friend Payton in an effort to prove their loyalty to the fictional internet legend Slenderman.

The girls lured their friend into the woods and stabbed her 19 times, leaving her for dead. Somehow, Payton survived the attack and was eventually discovered by a passing cyclist, who helped save her life.

But the story doesn't end with the attack.

Paranoid American and Uncle Sean dig into the documentary and the disturbing questions surrounding the case. How did a fictional character born on the internet become so real to two young girls that they were willing to kill for him? Where does childhood imagination end and dangerous belief begin? And what happens when the darkest corners of internet culture make their way into the real world?

Beware the Slenderman takes us deep into the case, the families involved, the psychology behind what happened, and the bizarre online mythology that surrounded it.

For Paranoid American and Uncle Sean, this is exactly the kind of strange, unsettling story that belongs in the Under the Docs Spooktacular.

So turn down the lights, lock the doors, and maybe don't go wandering into the woods tonight.

Join Paranoid American and Uncle Sean for another Under the Docs deep dive into documentaries, true stories, mysteries, strange events, and the darker corners of the world around us.

Under the Docs 029:Sean Combs: The Reckoning Oct 07, 2026

Show notes

Back to our roots — conspiracy documentaries.

In this episode of Kill the Mockingbirds, Paranoid American and Uncle Sean dive headfirst into the world of Puff Daddy, Sean “Diddy” Combs, and the ever-growing mountain of documentaries surrounding one of the biggest scandals in the entertainment industry.

And let's be honest... this is probably just the first of many Puff Daddy documentaries we're going to end up talking about.

Uncle Sean has been following Puffy, the people surrounding him, and the controversies that have followed him for decades. So we're taking a close look at what this documentary claims, the stories it presents, the questions it raises, and perhaps most importantly — what it leaves out.

What happened behind the scenes? Which claims deserve a closer look? What gets overlooked when the cameras start rolling? And why does every new documentary seem to uncover another layer to this bizarre story?

Paranoid American and Uncle Sean break it all down, separate the documented facts from the speculation, and dig into the details that might make you look at the story a little differently.

Because when it comes to Kill the Mockingbirds, we're always willing to follow the rabbit hole.

Just remember: sometimes the rabbit hole has a documentary crew waiting at the bottom.

Join Paranoid American and Uncle Sean for another deep dive into conspiracies, controversial stories, hidden connections, and the things that make you say, "Wait... what?"

Under the Docs 028:Architecton (2024) Sep 30, 2026

Show notes

Why are we building boring, simplistic buildings that barely last a century when humans have been constructing structures that have stood for thousands of years?

Seriously... what happened?

Ancient civilizations built monuments, temples, and cities designed to survive generations of earthquakes, wars, weather, and the occasional really bad idea. Meanwhile, we're surrounded by buildings that sometimes seem like they're designed to make it to the end of the warranty.

Clearly, humans are capable of more. So why are we settling for less?

In this episode of Under the Docs, Paranoid American and Uncle Sean take a look at the fascinating documentary Architecton, a film that explores architecture, humanity, and our complicated relationship with the buildings we create.

The documentary asks some surprisingly big questions: What makes a building worth preserving? Why did ancient builders create structures meant to outlive them, while modern construction often seems focused on efficiency, convenience, and getting the job done as cheaply as possible?

Paranoid American and Uncle Sean dig into the ideas behind Architecton, discuss the incredible structures that have survived for thousands of years, and ask whether modern architecture has lost something along the way.

Are we actually building for the future, or are we just building for the next quarterly report?

Join Paranoid American and Uncle Sean for another episode of Under the Docs as they explore Architecton and the strange, fascinating, and sometimes frustrating world of architecture.

Show notes

In this off-the-rails episode of Under the Docs, Paranoid American and Uncle Sean dive into the 2009 documentary The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia, directed by Julien Nitzberg.

The film follows the notorious White family of Boone County, West Virginia, over the course of a year, offering an unfiltered look at a family and community caught between poverty, addiction, violence, outlaw culture, and a changing coal-country way of life.

From mountain dance floors and drug deals to shoot-outs, hospital beds, family drama, and everything in between, the documentary doesn't pull many punches.

Paranoid American and Uncle Sean break down the documentary, the people at the center of it, and the uncomfortable questions it raises about poverty, addiction, family, culture, and the line between documenting someone's life and turning that life into entertainment.

What happens when survival becomes spectacle?

Join Paranoid American and Uncle Sean as they take a deep dive into one of the most chaotic and controversial documentaries to come out of Appalachia.
