Customer Reviews
Fabulous
Great pod
Wow- the worst
Well I found it, the worst true crime show ever!
First off, there’s zero research, zero script. Which can work sometimes but these guys are not good at it. Stilted points, the woman’s sentences sound like she’s in pain!
Secondly, the premise being less story and more opinion requires insight and these two are not the brightest or most informed.
For example, in the JBR episode they’re heavily critical of the ‘casting JonBenet’ doc. and seem to have completely missed the point that it IS a social commentary on people’s relationship with true crime, media sensationalism, American’s association with fame being transferable etc.
Instead they give out about the lack of a trigger warning saying that tells them the filmmakers have ‘morals’. Seems they’re oblivious to the fact that these warns are legally required for certain things.
The lack of preparation of their opinions leads to lots of repetition or saying stuff that means nothing.
Finally the attitude of both is that they’re smarter than the general masses and ‘totally over’ popular opinion. Which is kinda funny cause they don’t come across clever at all.
Basically, it’s all just two ignorant narcissists giving first reaction opinions badly.
Hard pass.
Fun dynamic
I enjoy this true crime pod. The hosts are very cute together. I see they haven’t uploaded in awhile so I hope they haven’t stopped
