Tonight on The Introverted Obelisk, science proves once again that it does not understand the meaning of the word “enough.”

This episode dives into The Return of Doctor X — a late-1930s cocktail of mad science, newspaper intrigue, and the unsettling realization that death is more of a suggestion than a rule. Bodies pile up, alibis unravel, and a reporter starts asking the kind of questions that get you quietly eliminated in dark hallways.

Humphrey Bogart turns up in one of his strangest roles, playing a man who looks alive, sounds wrong, and radiates the energy of someone who should absolutely not be walking around.

It’s part horror, part mystery, and part cinematic shrug — a sequel that insists the experiment isn’t over just because the patient flatlined.

So lock the lab, double-check the gurney straps, and remember:

If science says it’s finished… it’s lying.

Tonight on The Introverted Obelisk, we slip into a laboratory where the lights are low, the morals are flexible, and science has absolutely lost the plot.

This is a pre-Code nightmare where mad doctors wear tuxedos, murder investigations are interrupted by flirtation, and every solution somehow involves more experiments on human beings.

A string of grisly killings leads to a secret medical symposium, where a group of scientists insist they’re innocent… while behaving in ways that suggest otherwise. There are glowing machines, suspicious alibis, and enough unethical research to get an entire department shut down twice.

And then there’s Lionel Atwill — charming, sinister, and smiling like a man who knows exactly what’s going to happen next.

Dr X is lurid, stylish, and deliciously unhinged — a film that reminds us the real horror of the early 1930s wasn’t monsters in the shadows, but professionals who thought rules were optional.

So grab your lab coat, lock the door behind you, and don’t trust anyone holding a clipboard.

Because tonight, the experiment isn’t over… it’s just getting started.

Tonight, The Introverted Obelisk invites you to dim the lights, quiet your doubts, and listen closely — because the dead have something to sell.

This is a story about love, loss, and the fine art of pretending you can hear the other side. A grieving widow meets a charming spiritualist who seems to know more about her late husband than any stranger should. The candles flicker, the voices rise, and for a moment, she dares to believe.

But belief is the oldest trick in the book — and this particular ghost story is run by a man who knows how to make pain pay.

The Amazing Mr X drifts between séance tables and cliffside mansions, where longing becomes currency and the past refuses to stay buried. It’s equal parts romance, illusion, and elegant fraud — a noir haunting dressed in moonlight.

So pour something strong, hold hands with whoever you think is next to you, and keep your ears open.

Because in this house, the dead aren’t restless.
They’re rehearsed.
