Episode 133 - The Fofão Chapado Curse, Carreta Furacão and Other Odd Street Performers (feat. Jake)

There is a supposed curse that surrounds the doll made of the character that conceals a black knife within the toy's torso. 40 Years later, a group of street performers called Carreta Furacão dresses up as this character and also Mario and Jim Carrey's The Mask.
