  • S1 E21: The Toolbox Killers

    Mourrrrrning, Beanie-weenies! What coffee are you sipping on today? This week we talk about the art of collaboration. We also chat about how grateful we are for the people who have to watch crime footage, as well as vet all reported materials online. They are the real OGs. Refresh those filters, because you are going to want a fresh cup after this one.

      • S1 E20: Terry Rasmussen

        G'Mern! Beans, this episode talks about so many red flags it might as well be a trending Twitter meme. We chat about how easy it was to just up and disappear before a time of social media/cellphones as well as how technology has allowed for us to solve some incredible cold cases...

            Happy Hallo-Bean! We are squeezing every last bit out of these spooky grounds with a three-fer. We each brought a different crime that happened on Halloweens of yore. Family annihilators, spurned lovers, and pranks gone wrong remind us to not be an asshole. We hope you have a really fun and safe holiday. We love you beans so much!

                G-g-good Mourning! We are nearing the end of October, so it is time for one more mid-week spooky espresso shot. We chat about the importance of letting go and moving on while enjoying some Royal Coffee. What type of psychiatric hospital teaches impeccable hunting/tracking and driving to a real life boogeyman? Should someone have contacted Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, instead?

                    Mournin'! It's time to bring this PhanTed Menace to a close. We've spent a lot of time with Bundy, and have given him a lot of mental space throughout the month of October, so it is only fitting that we debrief with the Netflix series 'Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes'. We binge the series and chat about about how we perceive ourselves vs how we are seen. Who are you when nobody is around? Who was Ted without someone to manipulate or seek approval from? Why was this case so grossly mishandled in court? Regardless, it's time to put Ted to bed and move forward. Thanks for taking a ride on the Bundy train with us!

                        Morning, Beans! We are half way through the week which means we are in desperate need of a pick-me-up! How about the incredible, oedipal man? In this extra caffeinated episode we discuss peepin' Toms and helicopter moms. Also maybe start giving thought to what your fake name will be in case you are ever on the lam. Just saying...

                            Good Mourning! Part three is the way to be as we near the end of Nicole's "Ted Talks", that slippery little sucker. This episode discusses the frustrating end of Ol' Bundy-boy, and the wake of devastation he left behind him. Twas Florida killed the beast. What would we have found out if he wasn't put to death? Theres still so many victims that were never found, and probably so many more that we don't know about... but we took away the chance to appease the public. Just something to think about over your hot cup of bean water...

Make sure to keep your friends close and the children that you are supposed to be watching closer, because this revenge story is almost immortal.

                                    G'Mernin! We are back with part TWO of Nicole's "Ted Talk" where she discusses some of his victims in detail. This one gets graphic, so please be sure to take care of yourself if that is something you do not like to hear about. We are also going to re-watch "The Confession Tapes" on Netflix later this month so we can get together discuss the series. We would love for you to join us by rewatching it yourself and dropping us any questions or observations through email or instagram. Oh and don't forget to be rude out there!

                                      • Espresso Shot: Sally Hardesty and Leatherface

                                        Mournin'! Spooky season means TWO EPISODES A WEEK! Our first espresso shot for this October is about one of the original 'Final Girls' and a lean mean chainsaw wielding machine. A word to the wise... if the library has no books, theres something wrong in the library. Also, don't give the hitchhiker your pocket knife. Also also, what the hell is up with movie villains dressing like women to portray being deranged? What is that all about? Hold that thought, I'm going to start another pot of coffee.
