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.

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.

The Murdaugh Murders has quite the body count - that we know of - but the unraveling of the power the family had over Hampton County began in earnest with an event in 2019: the boat crash. Mallory Beach lost her life, the other young adults involved were traumatized, and the fallout from this scandal that couldn’t be covered up would result in more tragedy years later.

RobOctober continues! We dive into the far more fictional side of AI with an absolute delight of a horror film: M3GAN. The android companion is given a directive that she takes VERY seriously, but she may not fully understand the assignment.

There are plenty of reasons to be excited about what AI can do for humanity, but plenty of reasons - namely war - to be wary of the technology as well. UNKNOWN: Killer Robots isn’t QUITE as frightening as its name or background music might imply, but it’s still illuminating.

It takes many episodes of The Crowded Room to learn which room is crowded and who’s in the room. We only talk about the first episode of the critically panned Tom Holland starrer AppleTV+ show, but from rage to abuse to disappointment, we found plenty to talk about.

An instant classic? That might be super accurate for They Cloned Tyrone. A modern Blaxploitation entry with influences from so many movies that it feels familiar and yet still VERY fresh. Blockchain to conspiracy theories to Shalamar, there is so much to explore.
