Strange Country Ep. 74: Amy Archer Gilligan

from Strange Country · host Beth and Kelly

Amy Archer Gilligan was a good Christian woman who ran a good Christian nursing home--if you substituted "good Christian" for "serial killer" that is. Strange Country co-hosts Beth and Kelly share this macabre story and show off their acting chops in a scene from Arsenic and Old Lace, a play and movie loosely based on Amy Archer Gilligan. Words to live by: Don't drink the lemonade. Theme music: Resting Place by A Cast of Thousands.
