It's our second spooky season selection - Sweetpea on Starz! (Sorry, just had to get our alliterations in.) Our newest spooky season pick is a PilotPod covering the new Starz series Sweetpea, staring Ella Purnell. Amy and Kat are...lukewarm about this series, which is surprising, since on its head, the premise is excellent. The hosts chat about the fact that the hook that brought us in during the first 10 minutes failed to maintain the hype, whether or not the lack of good supporting characters undermined the 'ghost' theme they were going for (we get it, there was a purpose..it just didn't sell), and why the ___ had to die. All in all, we think the actress did a fantastic job with what was written, we just think we need to give it another episode to see where things go. The problem is...was this episode enough to get us to episode 2? Listen and find out!
Trigger warning for this episode - animal death.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
