Send us Fan Mail
Netflix has a body count problem, and we need to talk about it.
Jack Austin and Adam Garcia dive into why 60% of Netflix's most popular content revolves around murder, violence, and true crime.
From Squid Game to endless serial killer documentaries, we explore how the streaming giant turned death into entertainment - and why millions can't stop watching.
In this episode, we uncover:
✓ Why Netflix is flooding your feed with serial killer content
✓ The disturbing psychology behind true crime addiction
✓ How violence became the default Netflix genre
✓ The real cost of "cheap" documentary content
✓ Why people watch murder docs before bed (seriously?)
✓ From medieval executions to modern streaming
✓ The death of wholesome TV entertainment
✓ How Netflix replaced quality with quantity
Highlights that killed us (not literally):
- Medieval execution tourism vs. modern true crime
- Why Yellowstone makes you want to be a cowboy
- The Jimmy Savile documentary that's worse than horror
- Jason Statham: The last bastion of mindless entertainment
- Why old British comedy was actually good
From public hangings to Netflix binges, we trace humanity's eternal obsession with death as entertainment.
Plus: why Jack only watches toy car restoration videos now.
Warning: Contains discussions about violence, true crime, and the death of quality television.
