Grab your beach bag, Party People! (And the phone number for your best lawyer friend!) It's time for a Summer of Scandal. For the kick off, Christopher and Eric hop in a brand new Pierce-Arrow with Fatty Arbuckle, one of 1921's biggest silent film stars, and head up the California coast for said star's date with personal ruin. But did the highest paid actor in the world at that time do anything wrong in that infamous twelfth floor suite at San Francisco's St. Francis hotel? As they serve up season 1, episode 2 of the (surprisingly good) late 90's true crime TV series SCANDAL, entitled "Silenced Star", your hosts chew on Hollywood's first ever celebrity scandal. Turns out it’s hard to say whether the sour taste of guilt is coming from the accusers, or the accused.

Christopher and Eric round out All About Representation Month by asking you, our beloved Party People, about the queer people who have made the biggest impact in your life. Some of you went with ancient emperors, other chose lovers past and present. The result is a lively, warmhearted discussion of mentorship, community and friendship that ends our Pride Season celebration on an uplifting note. (Next month we'll do a hideously disturbing true crime episode again. Promise.)

All About Representation Month takes a a hard light turn as Christopher and Eric navigate the recent history of gay representation in the world of sitcoms. Remember Blanche's gay brother on an early episode of THE GOLDEN GIRLS? How about a young “president” Tony Goldwyn's heartrending turn as a terminal AIDS patient who asked the designers of DESIGNING WOMEN to create his funeral? How do they compare with the sparkling new Hulu sitcom MIDCENTURY MODERN in which the gay characters take center stage in a manner that feels both OG and dazzlingly new at the same time?

Meet Herb Baumeister. Successful businessman. Noted introvert. Lover of rotting food. And possible serial killer. As All About Representation Month continues, Christopher and Eric serve up the final two episodes of THE FOX HOLLOW MURDERS: PLAYGROUND OF A SERIAL KILLER, spotlighting the crusading Indiana coroners working to identify the forgotten gay victims of a staggeringly prolific serial killer. When a bungled investigation and a sudden suicide served as an excuse to shut down the search for answers as to how a massive amount of human remains ended up on a pastoral Indiana horse farm, suspicions and conspiracy theories ran amuck, and various documentary filmmakers found a way to insert themselves into the fray. But were their cinematic efforts a hindrance or a help? Join Christopher and Eric as they try to find a closure in a case that has offered blessed little to the victims and their families.

This year, Pride Season at TDPS is all about visibility, inclusion and respect for LGBT people, three things of which our current political climate is in desperately short supply. Welcome to All About Representation Month, beginning with a supersized True Crime TV Club that's about bringing long overdue justice to the forgotten gay victims of a vicious and prolific serial killer. When queer men started vanishing without a trace from the streets outside popular Indianapolis gay bars in the early 90's, their desperate final hours were eventually traced to a palatial horse farm in a seemingly idyllic suburb. Once there, investigators found what was then the largest repository of human remains in United States history. Was the supposedly upstanding owner of the property a vicious killer? And did he act alone? Christopher and Eric tackle these questions and more as they serve up Episodes 1 and 2 of the Hulu series THE FOX HOLLOW MURDERS: PLAYGROUND OF A SERIAL KILLER.

To atone for forcing Eric to endure three full episodes focused on one of reality television's most awful shows, Christopher wraps up Sin City Month by taking us down the rabbit hole of Las Vegas history, including the city's connection to the gay scion of a notorious Gilded Age copper baron. Then it's time to discuss the concept of sin itself with you, our beloved Party People. "What is the deadliest of the seven deadly sins?" they asked listeners on The Dinner Party Show's Facebook page. Their answers ran the gamut. But many of them searched for the one sin they felt gave rise to all others. Find out if there was a consensus and see where Christopher and Eric fell on the Big Seven – isn’t that supposed to be a lucky number?

In their second and final episode devoted to the Paramount + true crime series, SIN CITY GIGOLO, Christopher and Eric watch in disgust as a sanctimonious district attorney attempts to deflect the public's attention from terrible police work, and the man who most likely committed this awful crime descends into self-pitying rationalizations and flat out delusions. Are there any heroes to be found in this sad, tragic tale? And what single event first started this destructive and lethal spiral? The producers of the reality show that brought victim and killer together are willing to take some of the blame, but your host Eric has a more complex theory of the case that throws a much harsher light on everyone's role.

Magic mushrooms have never felt less enchanting. Christopher and Eric serve up the first two episodes of SIN CITY GIGOLO, a salacious new true crime series from Paramount + in which the scorching Las Vegas sun reveals the murderous truths coiled beneath reality TV illusions. What happens when the cameras stop rolling, the checks stop coming and you realize all that fame you supposedly enjoyed was mostly a few thirsty people on the internet? Episodes 1 and 2 offer some disturbing answers. When an allegedly famous male escort calls 911 with a convoluted tale of a drug trip gone wrong, only one thing is clear — a woman has brutally lost her life. But a shoddy police investigation, and the conflicting accounts of the chief suspect's friends send the case gyrating into Conspiracyville before the evidence can be collected. In our next episode, Christopher and Eric bring you the final installment of the series along with their uncensored thoughts about what really happened on that long, awful night in the desert.

Your hosts replace class with ass as they depart the refined salons of Paris and land face down on the scorched centerline of the Las Vegas Strip. The result is a new month of episodes that just might put their immortal friendship to the test! Was Christopher too strong in his suggestion that they tackle a recent true crime series about a shocking criminal case involving a key cast member of one of reality TV's tawdriest shows? Should Eric have been more vocal with his concerns that watching four episodes in a row of Showtime's GIGOLOS could be damaging to one's mental health and sense of decency? Why did no one tell the absurd parade of steroid-addled douchebags featured on this glorified piece of soft core porn that they're not as famous as they think are? The answers to these questions will be poked, stroked and massaged as Sin City Month begins.

Christopher and Eric assumed their accidental arrival in Paris mid-Fashion Week might have made the place a little less fashionable. Little did they know the standards had already been lowered as far as they could go in this Paris-set episode of the classic TV series MURDER, SHE WROTE entitled “A Fashionable Way To Die”. Revisit the highlights of your hosts Parisian sojourn by way of this creaky, silly Hollywood take on the Paris fashion industry by way of 1986. More sequins grace this catwalk than a Provincetown drag night and as always sweet, little old lady Jessica Fletcher brings murder and mayhem wherever she goes.
