We turned serial killers into celebrities. Then we made documentaries about them. Then we watched them… to relax.

Cool cool cool.

But why do we binge murder before bed?

In this episode of Mad Warfare, we sit down with criminologist Dr. Scott Bonn to unpack our collective obsession with true crime—and what it reveals about how attention, fear, and storytelling really work.

From Jack the Ripper to Netflix-era "celebrity monsters," we break down how killers become brands… and why they keep winning the attention economy.
