“Is anyone else turned on by this story?”

Today we review Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction season 2, episode 4. In an attempt to be more casual, Chris botches his intro. It’s revealed that this week’s episode of Beyond Belief has a theme – Friday the 13^th! However, the stories do a pretty bad job of connecting anything to this theme and actually give up halfway through. Chris tries to get everyone to share their own Friday the 13^th story, but no one has one… except Chris, who ate a whole pepperoni pizza to himself on Friday the 13^th. Kyle explains the history of Friday the 13^th.

Story 1: The Wrestler—A professional wrestler’s last match turns out to be his best… but there’s a catch.

• At the end of this story, it’s revealed it all happened on Friday the 13^th. No one can figure out how it plays into the story.
• Chris debuts his new segment, “The Wrestley Rules.” Chris is a big WWE fan and doesn’t think this could have happened.
• The group accidentally makes fun of Ira Glass, and are temporarily shut down.

Story 2: The Escape—A prisoner escaping through a laundry truck discovers he can’t stay away from the big house for long.

• Jesse thinks it would be amazing if there was a Beyond Belief shared cinematic universe.
• The story again reveals at the very end that it takes place on Friday the 13^th
• Tiffany thinks this story is about a person who just didn’t plan accordingly.

Story 3: Dead Friday—Two friends getting ready for a date night see an eerie premonition on TV.

• The group thinks this is very similar Final Destination.
• Jesse remembers a similar story on Unsolved Mysteries.
• Maybe the guys who showed up were just really gross and the girls made up the premonition to get out of the date?

Story 4: Ghost Visitor—A claims adjuster sees strange things in the office one night, but it’s the boss who pays the price.

• Tiffany thinks he could just have had a heart attack.
• Lucy from Twin Peaks makes a cameo, played by Kimmy Robertson.
• Could be just another case of The Complicated Theory.

Story 5: The Lady in the Black Dress—Before a terrible accident, a woman she sees her dead aunt in a dress shop.

• The group points out the main character spent most the segment smelling things.
• It was a very simple and sad segment. The group really liked it.
• Jesse thinks that maybe she was already dying and that’s what caused her to both see her aunt and walk into traffic.
