Killer Fun Crime and Entertainment

Netflix is revisiting Patricia Highsmith’s enduring anti-hero: Tom Ripley. A noir and sinister take, Ripley shows us a full-fledged scam artist with an eye towards the future as we explore what’s real, the psychology, and real-life correlations in the show.

While an inheritance can be a great honor, it can also come with responsibility that can’t be realized until you have the entire situation laid out before you. This is the case for Eddie, who inherits a Dukeship - and more trouble than he could have imagined - in The Gentlemen.

The “troubled teen industry” is full of normal teenagers with rich parents - at least in many cases - and for truely troubled kids, places like The Academy at Ivy Ridge were abusive and NOT helpful. The Program: Cons, Cults, and Kidnapping shines a light on the deplorable conditions at WWASP institutions.

A reimagine of the assassin/spy romp classic, Mr. & Mrs. Smith gets a fresh look with a somewhat altered premise, diverse casting, and some awkwardly accurate dialogue. From that fabulous plunge pool to the best locations to travel solo, we have lots to chat about.

The Kung Fu movies of the 1970s have gotten an update with The Brothers Sun. Some drama, lots of humor, and fantastically choreographed and captivating fight scenes have us talking about The Groundlings, hypervigilance, masks and much more.

The Mare Island Creeper’s most high-profile victims - whom police insisted was really just an attention-seeking Gone Girl impersonator - is the subject of the new doc, American Nightmare. We talk about detecting Valium, trust in the police, wild theories and much more.

This is it! Our final outtakes episode for our hiatus - we had so many thoughts about the Murdaugh Murders that we have outtakes on both of our episodes on that series. Murder at the End of the World sparked some interesting tangents.

Last month we played the Hunt A Killer stand-alone game, Death at a Dive Bar. Our original episode had fun facts and spoiler-free excerpts, but TODAY we have the full game play - minus all those long silences while we solved puzzles. It’s a good time!

It was super fun to have a theme for October 2023 - robots. We dubbed it RobOctober and had a great time; today we have outtakes. Robots in war and AI were the focus of UNKNOWN: Killer Robots, while a much more fantastical android was featured in M3GAN.

Several months ago we played the Hunt A Killer stand-alone game with a Nancy Drew theme, Mystery at Magnolia Garden. Our original episode had fun facts and spoiler-free excerpts, but TODAY we have the full game play - minus all those long silences while we solved puzzles. It’s long but fun!

We can’t get everything we talk about into every episode, but I save all that fun - and sometimes off topic - chatter for when we need a bit of a break.

From serial killers to tech billionaires to pseudonymous artists - everyone in A Murder at the End of the World has a secret. We don’t know who’s willing to kill to keep those secrets, but Jackie and Christy do check out many aspects including unidentified bodies in the US, hackers, smart cities, how we feel about our choices, Icelandic hot springs and more!

Alex Murdaugh was convicted of the murders of his wife and son, but there were MANY things we were curious about… And we have questions. From the reading of body language to a HOT TAKE by Jackie, we dig in! Huge THANKS to our sponsor: Beam Dream! The company is committed to a better night’s sleep and all-day wellness.

The Murdaugh Murders has quite the body count - that we know of - but the unraveling of the power the family had over Hampton County began in earnest with an event in 2019: the boat crash. Mallory Beach lost her life, the other young adults involved were traumatized, and the fallout from this scandal that couldn’t be covered up would result in more tragedy years later.

RobOctober continues! We dive into the far more fictional side of AI with an absolute delight of a horror film: M3GAN. The android companion is given a directive that she takes VERY seriously, but she may not fully understand the assignment.

There are plenty of reasons to be excited about what AI can do for humanity, but plenty of reasons - namely war - to be wary of the technology as well. UNKNOWN: Killer Robots isn’t QUITE as frightening as its name or background music might imply, but it’s still illuminating.

It takes many episodes of The Crowded Room to learn which room is crowded and who’s in the room. We only talk about the first episode of the critically panned Tom Holland starrer AppleTV+ show, but from rage to abuse to disappointment, we found plenty to talk about.

An instant classic? That might be super accurate for They Cloned Tyrone. A modern Blaxploitation entry with influences from so many movies that it feels familiar and yet still VERY fresh. Blockchain to conspiracy theories to Shalamar, there is so much to explore.

Sometimes, you want to try to do something that you haven’t done in a while just to see if it’s as fun as you remember. We did just that when we played a Hunt a Killer game just like in our first episode! The Nancy Drew colab, Mystery at Magnolia Gardens, was a great time and here is our SPOILER-FREE game play with discussion about the impact of Nancy Drew, why representation matters, and some VERY poisonous plants.
