This week, we question our decisions and wonder why we do this to ourselves again. Join us as Erin talks about Drew Peterson: Untouchable and how Lifetime doesn't understand common idioms. Then listen as Paul tells us the real story. As a bonus, we'll even teach you why you should never trust somebody named Peterson.

Gather 'round! We have recovered enough to talk about Chris Watts and we have FEELINGS. Erin recaps Chris Watts: Confessions of a Killer, then Paul fills us in on the real, devastating case of this family annihilator. To summarize, Chris Watts sucks, everyone get on board!! Afterward, for a pallet cleanser, consider joining our Patreon! Erin covered a crazy story that Lifetime should absolutely turn into a movie this week.

It's Oscars night so join us to talk about a Lifetime movie!! This week Erin watched The Neighbor in the Window. This one is peak Lifetime, AND, nobody dies! We talk about the number of red flags needed to say "we probably shouldn't buy this house" and why you should never let your crazy neighbor give your kid a walkie talkie. Then Paul tells us the real story of Kathie/Karen/Jane/Linda/Lisa...who really knows and how even if your neighbor does awesome things like bring you wine, she might also accuse you of trying to kill her, so be wary. Also, Laura Dern is queen. Don't @ us!

Erin has the flu so come listen to her try to fever dream her way through this one. This week, Erin watched Poisoned Love: The Stacey Castor Story.

Our Patron Saint Jon Hamm also visits us halfway through the episode to give us his continued blessing. Then Paul tells us the real story of Stacey Castor and the shocking details that Lifetime missed!

This week we bring you one from the archives! Paul and Erin do a switcheroo too! Paul tells us all about the movie Outlaw Prophet, the story of Warren Jeffs, prophet of the FLDS, and President of the United States (according to his followers). Then Erin tells us the true story of this absolute asshole fraud. We once again visit why it's never a good idea to keep a scrapbook (or audiotape) of yourself doing crimes. Drink every time Erin & Paul make gagging noises.

This week is a real downer. Erin watched Stolen By My Mother, a very sad story with no good guys and a ton of victims. We talk about how to spot a kidnapping nurse, well coordinated churches, and a guy named Oskie (for real). Then Paul tells us the real heartbreaking story where nobody has a happy ending (yet!).

It’s John Gotti 2.0! Erin watched "Getting Gotti," and unlike "My Father’s Daughter," John Gotti has ZERO redeeming qualities in this one. We talk Mob initiation rituals, how armored trucks work, and the noisiest trial that ever occurred. Then Paul tells us more history of the mob, and the story of Diane Giacolone, the badass who took on John Gotti and didn’t clock him in the face in open court.

It's our anniversary and boy did we save a good one for you! This week Erin watched Amanda Knox: Murder on Trial in Italy. She expresses her deep displeasure with yellow scarves, the monniker "Foxy Knoxy", and the Italian justice system. Then Paul tells us the real story of the murder of Meredith Kercher and subsequent trial, acquittal, trial, acquittal, and finally the actual acquittal of her roommate Amanda Knox. Who needs evidence when you have your imagination??

We’re back on our murder bullshit this week! Start the new year off with a bang...or 15 of them! Erin watched Menendez: Blood Brothers in which Courtney Love plays a ghost. If that doesn’t draw you in, make a doctors appointment because you might be dead. Then Paul tells us the real story of the Menendez brothers who murdered their parents for all of their money...or did they?
