True Crime Obsessed

On February 3, 2003, cops were called to the home - OH EXCUSE ME, I MEANT TO SAY SUUUUUUPER TACKY CASTLE. YES CASTLE - of music producer and "legend" Phil Spector. Spector claimed that a woman had come into his home and then killed herself in his foyer. If that sounds insane, it's because it is and it is DEFINITELY not what happened. The woman's name was Lana Clarkson AND SHE WAS FREAKING AWESOME. Of course the trial was a circus. SPECTOR WORE WIGS FOR DAYS. Oh and Alan Jackson from the Karen Read case is back and has some crazy shit to say. JUST ANOTHER DAY AT THE OFFICE, FAM!

In the early morning hours of June 5, 2002, a man appeared in 14-year-old Elizabeth Smart's bedroom at her home in Salt Lake City, Utah. He put a knife to her neck, told her if she screamed he would kill her, and marched her out of the house and into the woods. The only witness was Elizabeth's 9 year old sister Mary Katherine. For the first time, both of them are telling their complete stories. From Elizabeth's harrowing nine months with her captors to Mary Katherine's traumatizing experience in isolation trying to remember all the details of that terrifying night, we're gonna unpack AND SCREAM ABOUT IT ALL. Join us for this tough but inspiring journey. Ugh. OK, here we go!

As we always used to say IT'S NEVER THE SATANIC CULT IN THE WOODS--THEY DON'T EXIST! But try telling to Michelle Smith and Dr. Lawrence Pizder, whose book Michelle Remembers was published in 1980 and IS STILL RUINING LIVES TO THIS DAY! The book was based on years of "therapy sessions" in which Michelle was regressed to her childhood and allegedly uncovered memories of horrendous abuse and torture at the hands of a Satanic Cult. Evidence in the documentary suggests that this likely... didn't happen. BUT SO BEGAN THE ERA OF SATANIC PANIC ANYWAY! There's... a lot to unpack here fam. Join us, won't you?

On December 3, 1999, billionaire Edmond Safra and his nurse Vivian Torrente died in a house fire in his 10,000-square-foot Monaco loft. The circumstances are... insane. Like, in the most secure country in the world, surrounded at all times by a team of private bodyguards, how could this have happened? Welp, turns out, there's lots of ways. Was it the Russian mafia who was, like, mad, because, like mafia? Was it his private American nurse who'd been looking for a payout? Was it his wife who stood to inherit billions? OR WAS IT AN EPIC, DISASTEROUS, COMPLETELY AVOIDABLE ACCIDENT THAT EVEN WHEN EXPLAINED THE STUPIDITY IS SO ENRAGING YOU'LL FIND YOURSLEF LEVITATING OFF YOUR CHAIR? Sorry for yelling. Or was it all of thee above? Come untangle it with us, won't you?
