What happens when Hollywood takes on real-life horror stories? Join us as we sip on our favorite drinks—Captain Morgan and Dr Pepper for Lindsey, peach White Claw for me—and navigate the chilling waters of "An American Crime." A conversation that begins with a light-hearted nod to the classic film "Face Off" soon takes a darker turn as we grapple with the complexities of translating true crime to the big screen. How does the movie measure up against the real story of Gertrude Banaszewski and Sylvia Likens? We pull back the curtain on the creative liberties Hollywood takes, from character portrayals to pivotal scenes, and assess whether these changes enhance or detract from the horrifying truth.

Revisiting the tragic events involving Gertrude and Sylvia isn't easy, and neither is our critique of the film's portrayal of these characters. We dissect how Gertrude is humanized, Paula is undeservedly softened, and Stephanie is depicted inaccurately, ensuring you walk away with a clearer picture of what really happened. Thanksgiving drama gets its moment too as we share our holiday experiences and invite you to spill your own family secrets with us. With Ellen Page's standout performance as Sylvia, "An American Crime" might just be worth a watch, but our discussion will help you see past the Hollywood gloss to the raw, unsettling reality beneath.
