Today is another uncomfortable episode in the Damaged Ones Podcast, as Mike Garcia & Sarah Altland get down to the nitty gritty. First, Mike focuses on the aftermath of Taylor Frankie Paul and is outraged!

He is outraged over society's damaged mindset to allow domestic violence to be normalized when it happens to men, and is outraged that lots of people are making a joke of the matter by enacting DV skits on TikTok.

Then, Sarah gets into the Noelia Castillo euthanasia case in Barcelona, Spain, and makes us consider to ask the question, should laws be set to prevent people from taking their own lives, where is the line drawn? Or is it truly a case-by-case basis?

Plus an interesting discussion, will OnlyFans be bought out and shut down now that the main creator has tragically passed away?

PSA: If you or your loved one has suicidal thoughts in any way, please seek help immediately. Please talk to someone today: Dial 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

And if you are trapped in a relationship that involves domestic violence in anyway, please get out of it. Call the authorities, document everything, and find a way to get out of it.

On this episode of Damaged Ones, Mike Garcia and Sarah Altland get into some uncomfortable territory — the kind people don’t always want to talk about, but probably should.

We dive into the darker side of cult-like thinking, especially when it shows up in religion and how situations involving abuse are handled — or ignored — when it comes to women.

Sarah breaks down the allegations surrounding Joseph Duggar and what it says about power, protection, and accountability. Then in the second half, we get into the situation involving Taylor Frankie Paul — the video, the reactions, and how quickly people rush to excuse behavior depending on who’s involved.

It’s messy, it’s real, and yeah… it might piss you off.

If you’re into honest conversations that don’t sugarcoat things, this one’s for you.

👉 Watch now and let us know where you stand.

This week on The Damaged Ones Podcast, Mike Garcia and Sarah Altland do something a little different for Friday the 13th weekend… they dive headfirst into the chaos surrounding the reviews of Scream 7.

The movie is crushing it at the box office — but that doesn’t mean the fans (or Mike and Sarah) are completely sold.

Mike breaks down why the film could’ve been way more satisfying if the creative team stuck with the plan to bring back Matthew Lillard’s legendary character Stu in an effective way. Instead, the ending we got feels… confusing, rushed, and honestly a little anticlimactic for a franchise known for its clever twists.

Sarah pushes back with her own thoughts on the film, but the conversation quickly takes a left turn into horror territory when she opens up about her deep fear of clowns. Naturally, Mike sees that as an opportunity — not to comfort her — but to figure out how to amplify that fear to an entirely new level.

Horror movie debates, questionable creative decisions, irrational fears, and the kind of uncomfortable conversations only this podcast can get away with… yeah, this episode goes places.

🎙️ Watch or listen now and join the conversation. Do you think Scream 7 dropped the ball… or did the ending actually work?
