The Serial Killer Who Terrorized Los Angeles

In 1985, Los Angeles was living in fear because of one man: Richard Ramirez AKA The Night Stalker. We watched Night Stalker: The Hunt for a Serial Killer, a Netflix documentary about Richard Ramirez and the wave of random, brutal murders that left an entire city on edge. We talk about what made this case so terrifying, how law enforcement eventually caught him, and the bigger question behind it all: what actually creates someone like this? This episode gets into fear, media, and the psychology of serial killers. Timestamps! 00:00 – Intro 01:22 – Synopsis 02:05 – Documentary review 45:39 – Tangents 01:41:11 – Green room

The Family That Got Away With Murder (Until They Didn't)

We watched HBO's Low Country: The Murdaugh Dynasty and Netflix's Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal. These are documentaries about a South Carolina family that spent a century building power in the justice system, until murder and corruption brought it all crashing down. We get into how they maintained control for so long, what finally exposed them, whether the system enabled this, and how family legacy can become a trap. It's shocking, infuriating, and way more layered than true crime usually gets.→ Next time, we're watching Keep Sweet: Pray and ObeyTimestamps:00:00 - Intro00:58 - Synopsis13:50 - Documentary review1:54:20 - Tangents2:31:03 - Green room
