In this week’s podcast episode, Becky & Merie take on the bizarre & murderous crime spree of Missouri’s Pam Hupp, who murdered at least two people in cold blood…that we know of.
Along the way, your hosts address the burning questions you didn't know you had, like:
Body horror: genius or genuinely f**king awful? Is there such a thing as "sexually sedentary?" What in the hell causes one of your pod-coasts to utter the phrase, “You don’t want to see a woman get raped by a car?” Was the Academy Award-winning Korean film “Parasite” actually, sneakily, done in Mandarin Chinese? (According to super-smart Amazon “reviewers,” yes.) Do YOU re-enact 911 calls as a hobby or pretend to be a Dateline NBC producer to lure people to your home? (Well…maybe you’ll stop after this show.) What is Merie’s cat-based murder plot? Come for Merie’s British zombie doctor monologuing that gets Becky hiccup-laughing. Stay for the short hair-based doomsday cult.
