Killer Fun Crime and Entertainment
by Christy Norman
Killer Fun explores the intersection of crime and entertainment. A couple times a month we watch a television show, movie, read a book, play a game or delve into other forms of entertainment that involve crime - both real and fictional. Join Christy and Jackie for some well-researched facts - and laughs - every episode. We don’t LIKE crime, but we are fascinated by it. Christy is a super-sleuth when it comes to internet research and Jackie has a Master's degree in Psychology from Harvard.Email us: [email protected] us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KillerFunPodcast/All the Tweets: http://twitter.com/KillerFunPodInstagram: killerfunpodcast

Lies in the Skies - Cocaine Air
It’s hard to know the truth when you KNOW someone is lying. That’s the situation that the documentarians, and the audience, are in when it comes to Cocaine Air. No one seems to know anything about the over 1,500 pounds of cocaine loaded onto a private jet bound for France from the Dominican Republic. We laugh a LOT about a serious subject…Email us: [email protected] us on Facebook: fb.me/KillerFunPodcastAll the Tweets, er, POSTS: https://x.com/KillerFunPodInstagram: killerfunpodcast

233
Who's Your Momma - The Better Sister
Situations are often more complicated than they first appear. This is SO true in how the story is laid out in The Better Sister.

ROCD - YOU Season 5

Break Out - Escape at Dannemora
It turns out that an actual prison escape takes a lot of time, a lot of planning, help, and at least a little luck.

226
Liter-git - The Sticky
Maple syrup, a corrupt Association, and a message in tree form - what more could we ask of The Sticky? This fictionalization of a REAL maple syrup heist in Canada sprints along and we are delighted to watch this spectacular cast.

225
Meaning Making - Apple Cider Vinegar
Con artists come in all shapes. We usually think of slick middle aged men, but even young single moms can weave a compelling story that gets buy-in by people and companies. Apple Cider Vinegar looks at the story of Belle Gibson, somewhat fictionalized, for narrative and legal reasons - and we have LOTS to chat about.

224
Grief and Music - Missing You

Cartel Bosses are Weird - Love Lies Bleeding
Love Lies Bleeding is a crimey, trippy, violent… love story. Kristen Stewart’s best reviewed film EVER has deep and upsetting themes with the 1980’s setting giving us distance and the opportunity to take a new perspective on conflicts that feel familiar but fresh.Email us: [email protected] us on Facebook: fb.me/KillerFunPodcastAll the Tweets, er, POSTS: https://x.com/KillerFunPodInstagram: killerfunpodcast

219
Middle School Sucks - Under the Bridge
The semi-true adaptation of the story of Reena Virk in Under the Bridge is both baffling and heartbreaking. From well-meaning but controlling parents to cruel teens who idolize mob bosses, there is a ton to parse in this limited series.Email us: [email protected] us on Facebook: fb.me/KillerFunPodcastAll the Tweets, er, POSTS: https://x.com/KillerFunPodInstagram: killerfunpodcast

218
The Surviving Game - Woman of the Hour
We hear about the serial killers, their victims, the police and reporters who chase them… but what about the near misses? We were delighted by the largely fictionalized near miss story in Woman of the Hour. From special relativity to the trauma of rejecting, there is tons to talk about.

217
So Very Rich - The Perfect Couple
Rich people behaving poorly and entitled seems to be a favorite genre for Nicole Kidman and The Perfect Couple is no exception. Based on a beach read, the show allows you to escape into the posh world of Nantucket - even if that escape can be drawn out.

216
It's Not OCD - High Potential
Procedurals have a formula that they follow, but that doesn’t mean that they can’t be enjoyable - or have a twist! High Potential has Morgan - a bright woman with keen insight coupled with some overt and hidden challenges. We dive into all of it!Email us: [email protected] us on Facebook: fb.me/KillerFunPodcastAll the Tweets, er, POSTS: https://x.com/KillerFunPodInstagram: killerfunpodcast

Walk in Beauty - Dark Winds
Representation matters and Dark Winds (AMC) delivers.

Wicked - The Instigators
There have to be better ways to get your hands on $32,480 than crime. The Instigators, the Matt Damon and Casey Affleck starrer, is a fun - if predictable - action flick that will give you a lovely tour of Boston along the way.

Horrifyingly Affordable - Hit Man
Sometimes another person is… just in the way. But you would be advised NOT to try and hire a Hit Man because we see in the Netflix movie (that got a theatrical release), that most of the time they are just police. How much is true? Can you change your personality? And are hitmen just fancy serial killers? Email us: [email protected] us on Facebook: fb.me/KillerFunPodcastAll the Tweets, er, POSTS: http://x.com/KillerFunPod
