The long awaited "Gone Girl" discussion episode! We made you all wait for SO LONG that we decided the least we could do was make this a regular release episode, and on World Book Day! In this episode, we get into Anna's love for Gillian Flynn, our opinions on the story and characters, as well as some deeper book club discussion questions we found online. 

And we PROMISE we won't make you wait as long for the next book, and it'll be PHENOMENAL! Currently reading: "The Hidden" By Melanie Golding. (If you haven't already, we recommend reading "Little Darlings" by Melanie Golding first! While "The Hidden" is a standalone story, you'll understand the dynamic of some of the characters better. Also check out our episode on "Little Darlings.")

As a follow up to a few episodes ago ("Ted Bundy is...just awful"), Lindsey and Anna touch on the importance of ethical true crime coverage through the sensationalism of true crime. Remember: true crime is crime that is TRUE. Real people are affected. Be respectful. Then, in light of some amazing news in Lindsey's personal life, Lindsey covers The World Famous Clown Motel in Tenopah, NV, which she once drove by.

We've said it once, and we'll say it forever: Fuck Ted Bundy. 

Ted Bundy sucks.

Ted Bundy is gross.

Ted Bundy is NOT hot.

Ted Bundy is....just awful. 

BUT the one interesting thing about him is the way his and Anna's lives crossed a cosmic path. 

In this episode, Anna tells us about what she has (sort of) in common with Ted Bundy, the garbage serial killer from the 70s that gets way too much credit in the True Crime world. (Trigger Warning for content)

Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ANNA!!!! I (Lindsey) hope you enjoy your birthday surprise at the end! 

IMPORTANT NOTE: It seems contradictory to do an episode dedicated to a man we feel gets too much coverage in true crime, but there's honestly too much to cover in his case to fit into one episode. The topic of Ted Bundy's case opens the door to a larger conversation that we intend to dive into in later episodes on the sensationalism and romanticism of killers in the rise of true crime entertainment media. We at GABB felt that, with the interesting anecdote from Anna, it was a good place to start. We hope everyone understands that and stay tuned for more!

Happy New Year! 2022 is going to be a great year here at GABB, but sadly, this is not a regular episode. 

This week is a rough one for us as it's the one year anniversary of the  passing of Anna's daughter. Because of that, we are taking the week off  and will NOT have our regularly scheduled episode out this Friday (1/7).  We will do our best to get you all an episode next week, but regardless  we will be back on schedule for the next episode. 

Thank you all for  your support and understanding. We love and appreciate all of you!
