Killer Fun Crime and Entertainment

Christy Normanwww.killerfunpodcast.com
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.

I Can See Nuclearly Now

Nothing says welcome to the holidays like a lesson in pronunciation, the threat of nuclear annihilation, a story about either a murder or a tragic death, and an attempt at an Escape Room game.

What Lies Beneath Deception, Parenting, the Paranormal, and Murderous Behavior

This week, the conversation is more INSPIRED by the 2000 movie, What Lies Beneath, and less directly ABOUT the entertainment.

And be sure to email us YOUR hometown murder by Nov. 1, 2018 for possible inclusion - and a definite shout out - on the next pod! Email us: KillerFunPodcast@gmail.com Follow us...

Wait... Who's a Killer? - I Am A Killer

Christy and Jackie take a stab at dissecting the second episode of the Netflix original series, I Am a Killer. "Killer in the Eyes of the Law" introduces Texas' Law of Parties, brings discussion of the death penalty, and what does forgiveness look like for a person's part in an unforgivable crime. Heavy, but not without humor, our hosts seek to address the issues with compassion.
