Killer Fun Crime and Entertainment
216 episodes Last Updated: Dec 19, 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

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: KillerFunPodcast@gmail.comFollow us on Facebook: fb.me/KillerFunPodcastAll the Tweets, er, POSTS: https://x.com/KillerFunPodInstagram: killerfunpodcast

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: KillerFunPodcast@gmail.comFollow us on Facebook: fb.me/KillerFunPodcastAll the Tweets, er, POSTS: https://x.com/KillerFunPodInstagram: killerfunpodcast

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.

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.

Walk in Beauty - Dark Winds
Representation matters and Dark Winds (AMC) delivers. Dark Winds may be fictional, but it feels honest about the heart of the story of crime on the Monument Valley Navajo reservation in the early 1970s.Email us: KillerFunPodcast@gmail.comFollow us on Facebook: fb.me/KillerFunPodcastAll the Tweets, er, POSTS: https://x.com/KillerFunPodInstagram: killerfunpodcast

Wicked - The Instigators
There have to be better ways to get your hands on $32,480 than crime.
