We take a look at a collection of strange, short, and horrible stories: a cult leader is found mummified in colloidal silver and tequila, a scientologist job posting for a nanny is as bizarre as you hope it is, and people are being scammed by fake Keanu Reeves. We also take a longer look at the religious fundamentalism and culture of repression that made Josh Duggar (from that show about having way too many kids) a straight up monster and how TLC just doesn't seem to notice or care.
