  • Uneducated Commentary - POST THIS REVIEW

    I used to love this podcast, but I am DONE. First, while Amye and her co-hosts claim to be progressive, they completely lack the knowledge to discuss racial issues. Amye is a prime example of the problem of white feminism. She also suffers from white woman missing syndrome, as do her co-hosts. Until they decided to review the Worst Neighbor Ever, Amye has never covered a documentary or series involving a missing or murdered person of color. Little did they know the third episode would be based i... more

  • Best podcast ever!

    I love Amye and her voice and everyone else’s voice who joins as co-hosts. I love the humor intertwined with the coverage. I love the tangents-I love it so much I wish the episodes were even longer. Keep doing great work ❤️❤️ you are appreciated

  • Came for true crime, left due to biased opinions.

    I really enjoy the premise of the show and the true crime stories themselves. Unfortunately, the frequent political and cultural commentary has become distracting and often feels dismissive of people with different backgrounds and perspective. Unfortunately we are not all privileged and as someone who grew up and still lives in the south, I feel the rural and southern communities are portrayed through stereotypes rather than with the same understanding and nuance extended to other groups. Some ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Should I Marry a Murderer? (Netflix, 2026) with Mary Payne from Pink Shade
Q: What did you think of the documentary's approach and the storytelling choices in Should I Marry a Murderer?
We both noted that the documentary was engaging but could benefit from tighter editing and clearer pacing, with particular attention to showing rather than telling in some sequences and a more explicit delineation of timelines.
Unsolved Mysteries V1:EP1 Mystery on the Rooftop (Netflix, 2020)
Q: What did you feel going into it before you did further research?
My initial thought is that Rey got in over his head. I think a lot of what his wife thought was something happened that he didn't mean to be a part of, and then something bad happened.
My Father, The BTK Killer (Netflix, 2025)
Q: What did you think of the documentary overall?
I found it underwhelming, with certain points glossed over that could have been explored more deeply.
My Father, The BTK Killer (Netflix, 2025)
Q: How much did you know about BTK?
I knew a bit, but this documentary presented new details I wasn't aware of.
Trophy Wife: Murder on Safari (HULU 2025)
Q: What was the final verdict against Larry Rudolph?
Larry was found guilty of murdering Bianca and defrauding insurance companies.
