Give me a few months and I can answer them all. We are almost up and running. In the meantime, let's get all the mysteries together!

I will conclusively answer whether aliens are real, whether the CIA can mind control us & how expensive that would be, and whether that podcaster you like knows what their real job is.

Was there a real hunt for Red October? These movies always seem to start from some piece of history.

Beyond just Red October that's a nice project idea. Go through popular Cold War movies and explain which bits and pieces of real events made their way in. What was grafted, altered, or bowlderized. Plus, it's a rich seam for video clip editing. Good question
