Show Notes
When people go wrong, the spotlight melts them faster. These episodes explore crimes, courtroom chaos, PR disasters, and unforgettable headlines.
Ep 10 Part 1 – OJ & Nicole Simpson
- A brutal double murder, a televised Bronco chase, and the most infamous trial of the 20th century. Whether he did it or if he did it—America was never the same.
Ep 18 - Part 1: BFFs Gone Wrong - Bernie Tiede
- A friendly funeral director in a small Texas town becomes a beloved companion… and then a murderer. But the town still kind of loves him?
Ep 18 - Part 2: Our Favorite Demon Hunters - Ed & Lorraine Warren
- Are they paranormal pioneers or con artists with crucifixes? We dive into the legends—and lawsuits—of America’s most famous demonologists.
Ep 24 - Part 1: Impossible that she did it, Impossible that she DIDN'T do it - Lizzie Borden
- She definitely didn’t do it. Or she definitely did. Either way, she changed true crime forever.
Ep 36: Bruiser Brody: Beyond the Ring - Unraveling the Legend of Wrestling's Wildman
- A pro wrestling legend murdered in the locker room. Was it a beef gone bad—or a cover-up by the wrestling world?
Ep 155: Don't go chasing waterfalls in Honduras - Lisa Left Eye Lopes
- From platinum hits to house fires to waterfalls, Left Eye lived—and died—on her own chaotic terms.
Ep 165: Hot Coffee Comin' Up - Poor Stella Liebeck
- A spilled cup of McDonald's coffee became the most misunderstood lawsuit in America. Here’s what really happened.
Ep 168: Everybody's Baby - Baby Jessica & her Well
- A toddler trapped in a well for over two days. The whole country held its breath—and the cameras kept rolling.
Ep 175: Just stop watching award shows - Psychology of celebrity obsession
- Why do we care so much about famous people? Parasocial relationships, public meltdowns, and what award shows reveal about us.
Ep 189: The worst/best time making a movie - The Island of Dr. Moreau
- The behind-the-scenes meltdown of this film is more unhinged than anything in the movie. Brando, Kilmer, and chaos in the jungle.
Ep 197: Gotta Have High Hopes - The DeFeo Family
- Before The Amityville Horror, there was the real-life massacre. One night. Six dead. One son who claimed he heard voices.
Ep 203: Couple Breaks in the chain! - Hands Across America
- An attempt to form a human chain across the U.S. to fight poverty. Cue: confusion, sunburns, and a lot of people standing alone in fields.
Ep 206: Our new departure time is in 18 years - Mehran Karimi Nasseri
He lived in an airport for 18 years. His story inspired The Terminal
, but the real tale is stranger, sadder, and more bureaucratic.
