Killer Fun Crime and Entertainment

199 episodes   Last Updated: Apr 25, 24
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: KillerFunPodcast@gmail.comFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KillerFunPodcast/All the Tweets: http://twitter.com/KillerFunPodInstagram: killerfunpodcast

Netflix is revisiting Patricia Highsmith’s enduring anti-hero: Tom Ripley. A noir and sinister take, Ripley shows us a full-fledged scam artist with an eye towards the future as we explore what’s real, the psychology, and real-life correlations in the show.Email us: KillerFunPodcast@gmail.comFollow us on Facebook: fb.me/KillerFunPodcastAll the Tweets, er, POSTS: http://twitter.com/KillerFunPodInstagram: killerfunpodcast
While an inheritance can be a great honor, it can also come with responsibility that can’t be realized until you have the entire situation laid out before you. This is the case for Eddie, who inherits a Dukeship - and more trouble than he could have imagined - in The Gentlemen.Email us: KillerFunPodcast@gmail.comFollow us on Facebook: fb.me/KillerFunPodcastAll the Tweets, er, POSTS: http://twitter.com/KillerFunPodInstagram: killerfunpodcast
The “troubled teen industry” is full of normal teenagers with rich parents - at least in many cases - and for truely troubled kids, places like The Academy at Ivy Ridge were abusive and NOT helpful. The Program: Cons, Cults, and Kidnapping shines a light on the deplorable conditions at WWASP institutions. Email us: KillerFunPodcast@gmail.comFollow us on Facebook: fb.me/KillerFunPodcastAll the Tweets, er, POSTS: http://twitter.com/KillerFunPodInstagram: killerfunpodcast
A reimagine of the assassin/spy romp classic, Mr. & Mrs. Smith gets a fresh look with a somewhat altered premise, diverse casting, and some awkwardly accurate dialogue. From that fabulous plunge pool to the best locations to travel solo, we have lots to chat about. Email us: KillerFunPodcast@gmail.comFollow us on Facebook: fb.me/KillerFunPodcastAll the Tweets, er, POSTS: http://twitter.com/KillerFunPodInstagram: killerfunpodcast
The Kung Fu movies of the 1970s have gotten an update with The Brothers Sun.

The Mare Island Creeper’s most high-profile victims - whom police insisted was really just an attention-seeking Gone Girl impersonator - is the subject of the new doc, American Nightmare.

This is it! Our final outtakes episode for our hiatus - we had so many thoughts about the Murdaugh Murders that we have outtakes on both of our episodes on that series.

It was super fun to have a theme for October 2023 - robots. We dubbed it RobOctober and had a great time; today we have outtakes. Robots in war and AI were the focus of UNKNOWN: Killer Robots, while a much more fantastical android was featured in M3GAN.
