This is a very special episode because we are doing a double feature! The films focus on the life and trial of Betty Broderick (Meredith Baxter, in an Emmy-nominated performance), who murdered her ex-husband Dan (Stephen Collins) and his new wife Linda (Michelle Johnson).

We do a deep dive into the movies' cherry-picking of events and why we found their selections harmful in relation to the real-life players and the narrative. Other topics include Baxter's memorable portrayal of Betty, the lack of nuance within the story, our thoughts on the courtroom drama, and so much more.

It's an interesting case dealing with patriarchal trappings, narcissism, self-destruction, and infidelity that gets the complete Lifetime makeover with these movies.
