We are committing to our final sentence as we deliver a verdict on our true crime films season. Before we shred the documents, please enjoy this sneak peek regarding our malfeasance-themed recap. We traversed the globe – from desert landscapes to separate nations to investigate these dark stories, making the last eight weeks feel like a life sentence.

Sarah explains how her academic path in behavioural science and shock-value tapes from her youth sparked an interest in true crime cinema. She also explains why she dragged us through the grim streets of Snowtown and the high-stakes fraud of the Wolf of Wall Street.

Whether you’re looking for true crime podcasts or just want to hear us argue about whether Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci is a masterpiece or a total train wreck, this episode has you covered. We give our final verdict on the performances of Margot Robbie, Charlize Theron and even that Zac Efron Ted Bundy movie we can never quite name.

What to expect from the episode:

• The sound of the traditional can opening to begin the show which was definitely a real can.
• A breakdown of the full season lineup from Monster (2003) to the flamboyant House of Gucci.
• Sarah explains how a teenage interest in psychology led to a season full of serial killer cinema.
• Dan reflects on how analytical shields helped him endure the depressing nature of the lineup.
• A look back at our “long road” recording across different countries and how it aged us.
• The ultimate paradox: how one film can be both terrible and a favourite of the season.
• Our traditional wrap show quiz, this time, prepared by Dan.
• Details on how to access the full episode and the new season which begins February 9th.

We shall return!

February 9th sees the beginning of season 14 which Dan gets to choose this time. Be there or be square!
