The Why Files

I very recently discovered this YouTube show while looking for something easy to pass a little time and now I'm hooked.

AJ has a gift for story telling which keeps you engaged and entertained while he presents the various myths, legends, conspiracies etc. The well placed humour keeps each episode light and fun, even when talking about quite dark subject matter. AJ then debunks or rationalises each story with respect and in such a way that the viewer feels like they've learned something without ever feeling silly and without defaming anyone's character.

The production itself is great, it creates that sense of having someone in the room with you and talking with you but at the same time, feels like something that wouldn't be out of place on mainstream TV with a great musical score and good use of video and photo evidence.

An absolute must see for anyone enthusiastic about UFOs, aliens, the paranormal or conspiracy theories.

Fascinating and hilarious! Mr. Gentile is obviously well-educated/read, can pronounce multisyllabic and proper words/names properly, has a breadth of interests, and Hecklefish makes me laugh harder than I have since COVID made life so depressing. There is a lot to be learned from every episode. I hope many more will discover this educational and engaging corner of YouTube.

AJ ... Bravo good sir. You or your team do a lot of research into the subjects you cover. Thank You.

Hecklefish ... Keep up the good fight.

Ok. I enjoyed the episodes I've watched so far. Very well delivered stories keep you listening for more information. The interaction between AJ & Hecklefish is entertaining too. AJ being the straight man and skeptical storyteller and Hecklefish being the true believer theorist type.

So .. the videos kept me engaged and entertained. So that is great indeed. Sometimes I just want more and more information though.

Moon Landing ??

Hollow Moon ??

Mel's Bottomless Pit ??

More stories please.

I love this show, and what it does. The episodes are very well done and informative. Andrew and heckle fish are great together and keeps everything funny but yet filled with information. This show should be on Discovery or the history channel or Nat Geo. The topics of these show cover everything from time travel to underground cities and aliens. He takes all the information of the story and lays it out so at the end they can either debunk stuff or not or just leave it open for your interpretation. They have fun while they inform us and these stories. Heckler fish is the comic relief that makes the show so much fun.

The real question I have is who is Hecklefish?

Because they're hilarious and I love it. I'd like to know who voices the characters and how you come up with your topics.

I love to watch the shows and then pick the ones my kids will enjoy and watch them again, my sons mind was blown on the hollow moon one, and he asked me to make him a tin foil hat.

Which I of course make for the two of us, but you should sell some on the website, some authentic WF Foil Hats!

Keep it up, everyone involved in the show, it is fun, and I've learned a lot and I can't wait for a new episode to come out week to week!
