In case you didn't get enough of the Memendez Brother's story at the end of 2024, we thought we'd do a deep dive into it anyway!

Ash is joined by research assistant Erin Collins as they look at themes of abuse, mental health, and privilege. They explore the dark side of wealth, parenting gone wrong, and the psychological scars of a toxic family dynamic. This episode delves into the brothers’ abusive upbringing, the brutal killings of Jose and Kitty Menendez, and the aftermath—from confessions to legal battles.
