  • Emily is good, but Shane is better

    I love true crime and RHOC, a neutral feeling for Emily (she’s good on housewives but not my absolute fav) so obviously have to listen to this and I love it. she’s nooooow my absolute fav at true crime podcast.

    Shane is also soooo fun to listen to. Love the personality and point of views. (Ive also thought Scott Peterson was a murder for hire plot just saying)

    So listen to it. You’ll enjoy it

  • Yuk

    Seriously how the heck does she stand this guy? He is so smug sounding and is always mocking her in a “teasing” way. He’s an annoying man with a weird fake superiority attitude. Yuk. Two stars because she’s pretty good on here, would be more likable without the annoying guy.

  • Ok

    I like Emily and Shane, but it’s obvious they don’t do a lot of research on the cases. If you want in-depth review of cases, listen to “The Prosecutors” podcast.

  • A must listen to podcast!

    I love the two of you together. You have great banter. The information you provide is insightful and intriguing. Regarding Scott Peterson after listening to everything, if you think about his demeanor for a man who wanted out of his marriage and did not want children that tells me why he was acting the way he was.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Killer Thriller: Why She Was the "Perfect Target": Inside the Grooming of Tanya Kach
Q: Did you read the book or find differences between the book and the script impactful for your preparation?
I consulted basic materials to understand the case but focused on the script since the film condensed events and extended filming timelines.
Killer Thriller: Why She Was the "Perfect Target": Inside the Grooming of Tanya Kach
Q: Did you have an opportunity to meet Tanya herself or talk with her?
She didn't come to set during filming; the first meeting was over Zoom after the film wrapped, and her involvement helped ensure the portrayal was true to her experiences.
Killer Thriller: Why She Was the "Perfect Target": Inside the Grooming of Tanya Kach
Q: Hi, Jordyn. Welcome to Killer Thriller. Thank you so much for doing this today.
Thank you for having me. I'm honored to discuss the story and how the film handles such delicate material.
Killer Thriller: The Hamptons Murder Too Bizarre to Believe
Q: If you could ask Daniel Pelosi anything today, what would you want to know?
I'd want to understand how he perceives the passage of time and whether his sense of innocence has truly changed since those events.
Killer Thriller: Lou Diamond Phillips Went Undercover as Richard Ramirez and It Backfired Instantly
Q: So before you made the Night Stalker, how much did you actually know about the extent of his crimes?
Phillips explains his LA-centric awareness during the time, his research into Ramirez and related cases, and how this informed a nuanced portrayal rather than a simple villainous caricature.
