  • Summary

  • Set on a large ranch in rural upstate New York, it’s early days for the eccentric group of people who call themselves “The Zeta Family” - quite possibly the next big cult phenomenon. 

    Katie (Amy Goodmurphy), our central protagonist, is an aspiring reporter who has decided to infiltrate the compound, and her future success as a journalist depends entirely on her ability to win the confidence of Zeta Doug (Kevin Nealon), the likable spiritual leader of the group. 

    He’s like a cross between Hunter S. Thompson and George R. R. Martin, with a little too much sci-fi in his head and acid in his blood stream. Like all good cult leaders, Doug is elusive and mysterious, and Katie quickly begins to wonder if this cult is truly just a gnarly collection of weirdos hanging out in the woods, or is there something else going on here?

Great entertainment

Excellent listen and really enjoyed the cast performances with Natasha Lyonne and her signature sounding voice as well as all recognisable voices joining in on the fun. Cool 😹😺

Gets better as is goes along!

I actually fell in love with the concept of the story, which I can't really mention here without giving away the twist of the story, but trust me, it's entertaining. I would love to see this as a movie or TV series, or even a more serious take of the story as a book. The idea is great. But as it stands, this is a well acted and often humorous story, albeit a little short, about a bunch of people in a cult where nothing is as it seems and everybody has a secret. Recommend!
