Brick and Birdy took the deepest dive into the dark and sadly under-told story of The Osage Murders of the 1920s through to the 2023 film Killers of the Flower Moon. They put on their true crime hats and dive into the actual murders, the context surrounding why they happened, and because of the genuine dedication to this story, they have made this a two parter, so if you missed part 1, go back! Birdy will later discuss what is still happening today as well in an Outtake Episode. They have also provided all the sources now, so you can follow along. Thank you for sticking with us, as we've gone OFF schedule, in order to dedicate more quality time with these stories.
