August 05, 2024 Ep. 56: Baby Reindeer (2024) VS Richard Gadd PT. 1
Today's episode is a very special episode. We are covering the Dark comedy thriller TV show, (not the first time we've talked about a TV show.) Baby Reindeer that centers around Richard Gadd and a very traumatizing series of events in his life. Gadd writes, stars, and is the real life inspiration for the show, and the drama surrounding him and the show continues to unfold. Join us as we try to unravel fact from fiction.

CONTENT WARNING: Normally we don't do content warnings bc True crime and horror both tend to delve into taboo and trigger topics, however, Baby Reindeer discusses.... A LOT. So CW for sexual violence and assault, stalking, hate crimes, and male rape.

April 14, 2024 Ep. 53: Pig Killer (2022) VS Robert Pickton
This is the first episode of the new season format (so we can have much needed breaks between research and recording periods) It also marks the first episode with Kendrah as the permanent new co-host. To celebrate Kendrah's arrival, we decided to cover an infamous Canadian serial killer: Robert Pickton aka the Pig Farm Killer. We also watched the fairly terrible 2022 film, Pig Killer that is loosely based on his life. Enjoy!
