Ep. 253 — Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club Serves Up “Memories of a Murderer: The Nilsen Tapes”

How is it possible two avowed true crime junkies like Christopher and Eric haven’t heard of a serial killer alleged to have been one of the most prolific in history? Could it have anything to do with the fact that this killer’s victims were mostly queer men? In the first of this true crime pairing on Dennis Nilsen, your intrepid hosts brave the grandiosity, pretentiousness and sheer evil of a media-savvy monster who never met a dire situation he couldn’t exploit to his own evil ends. Is a childhood trauma to blame for all this madness, or is that part of the story just another manipulative ploy from this endlessly narcissistic menace? On next week’s episode, find out how celebrated actor David Tenant brought Nilsen to life in the British television series, DES. Also, having recently celebrated what would have been the 83rd birthday of beloved Premiere Party Person Anne Rice, your hosts have a special announcement about her legacy.
