After spending April discussing Whistleblowers such as Karen Silkwood, Erin Brockovich, and Rob Billot, as well as Chernobyl (listen), Murder Made Fiction podcast has dedicated May to fictional adaptations of the notorious Black Dahlia case. Born Elizabeth Short, the infamous LA murder from 1947 has been the subject of several films and TV shows, but these […]

Parasocial Peril. May has been a delightfully odd mix of titles, including Robin Williams’ One Hour Photo (listen), Aussie/UK thriller Like Minds (listen), and seminal disaster movie The Poseidon Adventure (listen). Adding to the fun is our most recent film: a revisit of the classic stalker title, The Fan (1981). *We previously tackled the film in our editorial series here. […]

Trace and I are nearing the end of Pride month, which has included the tepid adaptation of Anne Rice’s Queen of the Damned (listen), as well as Ben Stiller’s homo-tinged black comedy The Cable Guy (listen). Now it’s time for British writer/director Emerald Fennell‘s “Eat the rich” thriller/satire Saltburn (2023). In the film, […]

It’s been a busy month on Murder Made Fiction podcast. In addition to introducing a new co-host (Perfectly Good Moment‘s Amanda Jane Stern), we spent Pride Month tackling a wide variety of Leopold and Loeb fictional adaptations. In 1924 Chicago, Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb plotted to commit the perfect murder when they abducted and killed 14-year-old […]

On the DL. After spending June on explicitly queer texts like Emerald Fennell’s Saltburn (listen) and William Castle’s Homicidal (listen), it’s only appropriate that Horror Queers celebrate the American holiday with a blockbuster film with a not-so-secret gay connection. In Independence Day, an unlikely group of people come together when the human race faces extinction from […]

It’s familiar in a reassuring way, which is why He Couldn’t Let Go proves to be a quintessential Lifetime title.
