    CHAPTER 27: Yuppies, Yuccies, and Confusing Accents

    New week, new episode! This week Caroline is going to tell you all about the true story that inspired Chapter 27  directed by Jarrett Schaefer. And that story is the assassination of John Lennon by Mark David Chapman (ever heard of it?). We also discuss what's going on in our super-duper busy crazy lockdown lives (surprise, it's nothing - we do nothing). So join us as we talk puppies, soccer, in-laws, and - as always - murder. Sit back, relax, and we apologize in advance!

    UNCUT GEMS: Problematic Hairography & Horse Statistics

    HAPPY TURKEY WEEK, EVERYONE! We missed all you ghost hunters and true crime lovers! This week is Natalie's episode, where she tells us all about the sorta, kinda, not-so-true story of Uncut Gems, the 2019 crime and dark comedy movie directed by the Safdie brothers on the story of a gambling jewelry store owner, Howard Ratner. Natalie also covers the definitely-true stories of Operation Slapshot and the City College of New York's basketball scandal! Listen to all we've been up to - the weird blackhole of YouTube's new Recommended album, Caroline's short-lived career as horse-racing gambler extraordinaire, and updates on Nat's new puppy! Join us on our journey of film noir tropes come to life, like fedoras and early morning raids - sit back, relax, and we apologize in advance!

    MOLLY'S GAME: Our Criminal Careers & Culinary Dreams

    What's up, turkeys? It's Thanksgiving season - and Natalie's already started listening to exclusively holiday music. Tune in for her story on Molly's Game, the 2017 biopic directed by Mr. Aaron Sorkin himself. We definitely recommend you watch the movie this week, but if you don't have the chance, Nat & Caroline will break down the plot for you. Then, Natalie will go through a who's who and what's what of the Molly's Game - and dish all the dirty secrets about Hollywood's seedy dark side. We've got some new updates: puppy names, local LA restaurants we've been safely supporting, and why Caroline wants to become a white-collar criminal. Matt Bomer, move over! This week's a wild ride, so sit back, relax, and we're sorry in advance!!

    THE POST: Bi-coastal Migration & We Become Lawyers

    What is this? Two Caroline episodes in a row? What have we done to deserve this amazing treat? Nothing, jk, we're sorry, Natalie is a very busy gal and Caroline has nothing going on in her life. But do not fret, Caroline is going to tell us literally the scariest story in the world: a story about US imperialism... sPooOOoky! Caroline and Natalie give us the rundown on what they've been up to for the past couple of weeks in the Q. And then Caroline takes us through the crazy, overlooked story of the Pentagon Papers, which inspired the movie The Post (2017) directed by the GOAT Steven Spielberg. If you want to remind yourself why the US government do be crazy, sit back, relax, and we apologize in advance.

    HAMILTON: Ghost-tea & Pirate Dreams

    Pardon me, are you Aaron Burr, sir? No, we are Caroline and Natalie and we're back with another episode. We continue to celebrate spooky szn with a hectic story about murder, ghosts, and a disappearance. This week, we got to watch one of our favorite musicals Hamilton (2020) directed by Thomas Kail.
