This episode, recorded about a year ago, fell through the cracks and didn't get published. We're taking care of that now. Join us as we discuss movies to include on your holiday watch list.

The True Crime genre spans books, TV shows, cinema, and most recently, podcasts. The public keeps a consistent interest in the topic, perhaps in hope to understand why humans commit crimes. In this episode we take a look at the section of True Crime that may be most fascinating, murder. We feature: Helter Skelter, the 1976 TV movie about the Charles Manson Cult murders. The Oscar winning film Monster, based on the crimes of Aileen Wuornous. Zodiac: based on the book by Robert Graysmith, which details the hunt for the infamous Zodiac killer. All are compelling films that keep us thinking about human nature and cinema's roll in its portrayal.

In this episode we discuss the changing why 1968 was such a pivotal year in America and in film. We discuss Rosemary's Baby, The Detective, and Symbiopsychotaxiplasm.
