    Oct 30 2024
    Welcome Back Folks! In this episode, “The Ladies Who Love Lifers,” the docs dive into the fascinating, and sometimes disturbing, world of hybristophilia—a condition where individuals are romantically or sexually attracted to those who have committed heinous crimes. From infamous serial killers to lesser-known convicts, we’ll explore what drives some people to seek out relationships with “lifers” and why these connections can become so powerful. Join us as we unpack the psychology behind hybristophilia, its cultural portrayals in films like "Joker: Folie à Deux" and the risks it poses to all those involved.

  • 189. Vintage Case: Palm Springs and the B- List Murderer, Tom Neal

    189. Vintage Case: Palm Springs and the B- List Murderer, Tom Neal
    Aug 21 2024
    This week the docs take a brief jaunt OUT of Los Angeles to the sunny and gorgeous sands of Hollywood’s Desert Playground - aka Palm Springs. Although a year round destination for relaxation and glamour, there are dark aspects among the glittering sapphire pools of the Oasis of the Desert’s past. After all, a place with golden age ties to Hollywood is bound to have some sordid stories to tell - case in point: the tumultuous life of Tom Neal, a promising Hollywood actor in the late 1930s, groomed to be the next Clark Gable. Neal's career, however, was overshadowed by scandalous affairs and headline-grabbing incidents that eventually derailed his success. Despite a brief resurgence as a leading man in the 1940s, his off-screen behavior, including a notorious altercation with actor Franchot Tone, led to his downfall. By the 1950s, Neal struggled to find work, relegated to minor roles on local soap operas, where he continued to clash with colleagues. Despite several attempts to reinvent himself over the years, his desperation and addiction led to business failures, scandal and a brutal murder.

  • 188. Body Language Analysis

    188. Body Language Analysis
    Aug 7 2024
    This week the docs dive into the murky pool of "Body Language Experts" to discuss the explosion of self proclaimed subject matter experts on a field that lacks empirical evidence. The success of the 2009 American television series "Lie To Me" brought widespread attention to the dubious field of deception detection through body language, facial expressions, and micro-expressions, encouraging many people with both legitimate science, law enforcement and military backgrounds to present as experts: Since 2009, the world has seen an explosion of body language experts writing books, charging exorbitant fees for speaking engagements and popping up as talking heads on info-tainment shows that have a nexus with true crime. But, is it a thing? Like a REAL thing? Join the docs for a review of the evidence for and against this emerging field.
