I really enjoy this podcast. I don’t usually like watching true crime movies, but it turns out that I really love hearing about them, at least when it is these hosts telling me about them. I love hearing about the movie, and then hearing about the basis for the movie - I am often shocked by the discrepancies! It is fun having an insiders look at both the cinematic process and the legal/factual basis. Thanks for the great podcast!
