I'm Lester Holt: A Dateline Recap Show Kurt Money and Kateline

Join Kurt Money & Kateline for a discussion about the Dateline episode, "A Life Interrupted," about the murder (or disappearance?) of Jennifer Dulos, fate of Fotis Dulos and trial of Michelle Traconis. Hosted by Murphdog even though it's in AC Land, this ep has some real twists and turns in store for the Holtheads. Also, Kurt Money says it's a goose egg for his list, but um, Kmon, my man, all that Gone Girl talk is definitely a list item!!

This week Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the absolute banger of a Dateline episode, "True Confession," which aired February 28th, 2024. This was an update of the wrongful conviction case against Christopher Tapp, another case against a guy named Dripps and quite possibly the most rollercoaster final 15 minutes of a Dateline in history.

Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the Dateline episode, "The Secret in Black Rock Canyon," about the murder of Cassie Jo Stoddart in September 2006. Guess what isn't a secret? That this Dateline was nothing but a repurposed episode of "The Last Day" minus 10 minutes. Brian Draper and Torey Adamcik idolize the 1996 movie SCREAM and do their best to duplicate the murders. By "their best" I mean murder one person, fail at destroying the evidence, and then confess while blubbering. K$ and Kateline are both annoyed and horrified at what went down on that fall Friday in Pocatello, Idaho. Also, Kill Bill Volume 2 and Jackass Number 2 topping the box office the weekend of the murder are discussed. How could you NOT listen?! Press play, holtheads!

Kurt Money and Kateline are here, and so, unfortunately, is Remy Ramsaran, the star/villain of the Dateline episode discussed today, "The Perfect Life." The Perfect Host, Andrea Canning gave us a killer Dateline with some updates on a previous case, and not only do we get Remy's hijinks we are also blessed with the worst lawyer to ever appear on a Dateline. Ever.

Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the February 14th, 2024, episode of Dateline called, "Death at the Spa." Jmank hosts an episode that is jam-packed with shoebox bombs, Carole King, killer soccer moms, an FBI-attended local production of 12 Angry Jurors and one talkative actor that just will not shut up. A bomb goes off at a California spa, killing the owner Ildiko Krajnyak, but her husband is cleared from the suspect list immediately. Is one of the new men in her life? Or an older, "quirky" one? Listen now to find out! And if you didn't watch the episode and want some context to what we're talkin, head over to @imlesterholt on Instagram where every episode gets a context sheet with photos and fun videos and photoshops posted regularly.

Kurt Money and Kateline discuss the Datline episode, "The Sleepover," about the murder of Sherri Malarik in September 2001 and the trial of his Spinal Tap groupie husband, Greg, 20 years later. This AC hosted Dateline was a solid episode enjoyed by both K$ and Kateline, even if the outcome of this trial is supes frustrating.
