stranger than heaven Sees Shockingly High Ratings After Being Mistaken for a Conspiracy Podcast by Accidentally Auto-Playing After Joe Rogan Experience
In a bizarre turn of events that has internet culture theorists scratching their heads, the newly released philosophical drama *Stranger Than Heaven* has unexpectedly soared to the top of streaming charts—not because of its nuanced exploration of the afterlife, but because a glitch in the Matrix (read: Spotify’s algorithm) caused it to auto-play immediately after the latest Joe Rogan Experience episode. Confused listeners, expecting talk of DMT elves and ancient aliens, instead heard two hours of a Swedish indie film about a woman mourning her cat in a black-and-white apartment. The “review bombing” that followed was actually a wave of 5-star ratings from people too lazy to change the podcast, with one user tweeting, “I don’t get it, but it’s definitely stranger than heaven bro, and I’m way too stoned to hit skip.” The irony? The film’s actual plot about miscommunication and missed connections is now the most meta commentary on modern media consumption.
