Welcome to Season 4 of Based in Fact: A True Crime Podcast. We're your hosts, Lisa O'Brien and Kyle Evans and this is Episode 1, State of Florida v. James Milton Dailey, Part 2. Guest co-host Rick Mullenax joins us to wrap up our look at the case against James Milton Dailey, who was convicted and sentenced to death for the May 5, 1985 murder of teenager Shelly Elizabeth Boggio. We'll pick up where we left off in Part 1 with a look at Dailey's renewed federal habeas efforts and four Motions to Vacate his conviction and sentence pursued in state court. Rick founded Burn After Reading, the YouTube channel that started with a deep dive into the West Memphis Three case and has expanded to shine a light on the shadier aspects of social media coverage of true crime, including the disappearance of Maura Murray and the murders of Libby German and Abby Williams by Richard Allen in Delphi, Indiana.
In Episode 17, State of Florida v. James Milton Dailey, Part 1. Lisa and Kyle are joined by guest co-host Rick Mullenax of Burn After Reading, the YouTube channel that started with a deep dive into the West Memphis Three case and expanded to shine a light on aspects of the shady social media coverage of true crime, including the disappearance of Maura Murray and the murders of Libby German and Abby Williams by Richard Allen in Delphi, Indiana. We talked about the case against James Milton Dailey, who was convicted and sentenced to death for the May 5, 1985 murder of teenager Shelly Elizabeth Boggio, including the case against Dailey, his trial, direct appeals and early state post-conviction efforts, up to the death warrant issued by Governor Ron DeSantis on September 25, 2019.On Friday, December 20, 2024, I learned that Robb Chadwick passed away. Robb was a retired journalist, writer and blogger. He was also a good friend of the show, who was always willing to sit in when we needed a guest co-host. I will miss his insight and his knowledge about many cases. Robb was a kind, calm Southern gentleman. He will be missed.

The story starts on TikTok. First, with all the things that don't make sense. After Gabby goes missing - the only person that knows where she might be is her fiancé Brian Laundrie. But he's now missing. He goes missing for a month straight - before his body is found in a local park in Florida… by his parents. The FBI have been searching for over a month, reportedly spending over a million taxpayer dollars - and his parents find his remains within an hour? What about his mom's “Burn After Reading” letter?She writes that if he needs to bury a body she will bring a shovel. Or the fact that his remains are completely skeletonized?These are the things that lead people to believe…there is no way Brian Laundrie is actually dead. The conspiracy being that he faked his death and is now getting away with murdering his fiancee. But how could that even be possible? Could he really be living in a bunker under his protective parent's house? How would they be able to pull something like his off? Is there any truth to the conspiracy? What does the Laundrie family know?
Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie directors! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Today we talk about two American icons: Joel and Ethan Coen. Our guest is an icon all his own: Stephen Sajdak from the We Hate Movies podcast! We discuss the B-Sides The Hudsucker Proxy, The Man Who Wasn't There, Intolerable Cruelty, and Burn After Reading. There's also time given to their remake The Ladykillers. We make many references to Adam Nayman's well-researched and well-considered book The Coen Brothers This Book Really Ties the Films Together, explore the critical success the filmmakers had with Fargo, and how they filmed The Man Who Wasn't There in color and then printed it to black-and-white film. Other topics include the Coen Brothers' film Hail Caesar! and their childhood fascination with biblical epics like Quo Vadis, their amazing commentary on The Man Who Wasn't There disc, Spielberg's advice to George Clooney on how to become a movie star, or that time Clooney recalled being bewildered that Quentin Tarantino thought the two of them looked alike while they were promoting From Dusk Till Dawn. Finally, Tracy Zooms In comes up (obviously), the new Barry Levinson gangster picture The Alto Knights, and the James Gandolfini holiday picture Surviving Christmas.

In a letter labeled "burn after reading," Roberta Laundrie expressed unconditional love for her son, Brian, stating she would support him regardless of circumstances. The letter included offers to assist in extreme situations, such as helping to "dispose of a body" with "a shovel and garbage bags," and baking "a cake with a file in it" if he were jailed. Roberta later explained that the letter was written months before Gabby Petito's death, during a strained period in her relationship with Brian, and that its content was intended as a lighthearted attempt to reconnect, referencing inside jokes and children's books they shared. She emphasized that the phrases were not meant to be taken literally and were unrelated to the subsequent tragic events.(commercial at 6:33)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Gabby Petito's family attorney wants the letter he says Brian Laundrie's mom wrote him offering to bury a body, with inscription 'burn after reading' | CNN
The "burn after reading" letter sent by Roberta Laundrie to her son, Brian, is deeply troubling, not just for its eerie phrasing but for what it suggests about the Laundrie family's attitude toward accountability. While Roberta has insisted that the letter was written well before Gabby Petito's murder and was merely an inside joke, the specific wording—offering to "dispose of a body" and referencing prison breaks—cannot be brushed off as lighthearted banter. The fact that she felt the need to explicitly write “burn after reading” implies she knew the contents were incriminating, or at the very least, inappropriate. If this was truly a harmless letter meant to cheer up Brian, why include such dark imagery? Even if taken at face value, it reveals a level of enabling and coddling that raises serious ethical concerns. It's one thing to love your child unconditionally; it's another to imply, even jokingly, that you would cover up a crime for them.Beyond the letter itself, the Laundries' behavior in the aftermath of Gabby Petito's murder only adds to the suspicion surrounding them. Their lack of cooperation with law enforcement, refusal to communicate with Petito's grieving family, and overall secrecy cast a dark shadow over their credibility. If Roberta's letter was truly innocent, why did they fight so hard in court to keep it from being released? Their actions suggest a pattern of protecting Brian at all costs rather than standing on the side of justice. Whether or not the letter was written before Gabby's death, the language used and the family's subsequent behavior make it difficult to believe that it was purely an unfortunate coincidence. It speaks to a broader issue of misplaced loyalty, where shielding a son from consequences takes precedence over doing what is morally right.in this episode, we get a look at that letter.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Brian Laundrie's mom's chilling 'burn after reading' note revealed (nypost.c
Roberta Laundrie's public explanation of her "burn after reading" letter raises significant concerns about her credibility and the family's overall transparency. She claims the letter, which includes unsettling offers to assist in disposing of a body and breaking out of jail, was penned months before Gabby Petito's tragic death and was intended as a lighthearted attempt to reconnect with her son during a strained period in their relationship. However, the morbid content of the letter, coupled with the explicit instruction to destroy it after reading, casts doubt on her assertion that it was merely a benign, inside joke. The timing and context of the letter's release, found in Brian's backpack alongside his remains, further complicate the narrative and suggest a possible attempt to obscure the truth.Moreover, the Laundrie family's pattern of behavior throughout the investigation into Gabby Petito's disappearance and death has been marked by secrecy and a lack of cooperation. Their refusal to communicate with the Petito family during the critical period when Gabby was missing, combined with legal maneuvers to prevent the letter's disclosure, indicates a deliberate effort to withhold information. Roberta's explanation appears to be a retrospective justification aimed at mitigating public backlash rather than a genuine clarification. This pattern of obfuscation not only undermines the family's credibility but also exacerbates the emotional distress experienced by Gabby Petito's grieving loved ones.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Brian Laundrie's mom breaks silence on 'burn after reading' letter | Fox News

In episode two of our Visionary Remakes season, we survey the recent Coen brothers remake of True Grit (2010) and compare it to the original film, a John Wayne vehicle from 1969.Special Guest: Brian Eggert is the owner and film critic of Deep Focus Review, where he has written movie reviews, in-depth essays, and critical analyses since 2007. Brian also regularly appears on KARE 11, the NBC affiliate for the Twin Cities, to review and discuss movies. He belongs to the Society For Cinema and Media Studies, Minnesota Film Critics Alliance, Online Film & Television Association, International Film Society Critics, Independent Film Critics of America, The Critics Circle, and National Coalition of Independent Scholars.Westerns have gone through many cycles since the beginning of filmmaking. Right now, we are seeing an uptick in interest as the tv show Yellowstone dominates the traditional tv market. But back in 2010, Westerns were definitely far off in the background as comic book movies had begun to take over the box office. In 2010, the Coen brothers were coming off a very successful adaption of No Country for Old Men (2007) as well as two more left of center films, the sprightly spy romp Burn After Reading from 2008 and the niche existentialist A Serious Man from 2009. It is unclear why they decided to remake True Grit and focus on the novel from 1968 instead of the John Wayne movie which came a year later in 1969, but the choice was very successful. True Grit (2010) became the 2nd biggest Western in the modern box office.The 2010 True Grit showcases the refined talents of the Coens alongside the gorgeous cinematography of Roger Deakins, the layered and rich music from Carter Burwell, and a smashing breakout debut performance from Hailee Steinfeld as the lead Mattie Ross. The 1969 version of True Grit offers so much less. Despite John Wayne winning an Oscar for his portrayal of Rooster Cogburn, the original film seems totally out of step and out of time. In hindsight, it was an end-of-the-line production for the core creatives involved. The director, writer, and star actor were all at the end of their careers. Indeed this very type of Western was on its last leg as evidenced by the giant leap the genre made at the same time this film was being produced and released. Watch any of the bigger westerns from the late 1960s and then try to sit through True Grit (1969). The dislocation and disorientation is severe. The original True Grit was a swan song that came about a decade too late.

This week, we continue to collect members of the Ocean's gang like Infinity Stones, as we find Danny playing a convincing soldier and compelling leading man in a 90s geo-political thriller that feels like a total forgotbuster, despite starring two massive movie stars and launching DreamWorks as a studio. It's 1997's The Peacemaker, directed by Mimi Leder, and starring George Clooney, Nicole Kidman, Marcel Iureș, Aleksandr Baluev, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Holt McCallany, Goran Višnjić, and Michael Boatman. One of the Cloondog's early jumps from ER star to silverscreen leading man, this movie is also deeply tied to ER as a production. Clooney unquestionably has the juice however, and the movie's 90s thriller sensibilities -- while not as refined as some of its contemporaries -- still feels like something of a lost art, a type of movie we just don't get enough of these days. If you'd like to watch the movie before listening to our discussion, it is not available to stream in Canada but can be rented on YouTube and Cineplex. Other works discussed on this episode include The X-Files, Groundhog Day, Source Code, The X-Files: Fight The Future, The Blues Brothers, Trading Places, You've Got Mail, The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, The Incredible Hulk, The Avengers: Age of Ultron, Thelma, Mission: Impossible - Fallout, The Beekeeper, The Art of War, The Foreigner, Superman Returns, Strangers on a Train, Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action, The House, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, The Bourne Identity, Clear and Present Danger, Mission: Impossible, Batman & Robin, The Green Hornet, Deep Impact, Armageddon, Pay It Forward, On The Basis Of Sex, The Leftovers, The Morning Show, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, Three Kings, The Men Who Stare At Goats, 24, Burn After Reading, Michael Clayton, Out of Sight, Twisters and Legally Blonde. Next week, we're switching things up and going back to Hayley's new VHS stack to talk one of the all-time great westerns: 1992's Unforgiven, Clint Eastwood's deconstruction of the genre that made him famous and a worthy winner of Best Picture Oscar gold. Unforgiven is streaming on Crave in Canada and Max in the US. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!
One of only two Coen Brothers movies to win a weekend at the box office, BURN AFTER READING is the comedic counterpoint to their Oscar dominating No Country For Old Men. It's got a good cast, a wacky premise and some laughs! Does it have depression political reality? Kinda! This week's recommendations include a joint endorsement of JUROR NO. 2, light praise for A REAL PAIN and THE APPRENTICE and a rave for THELMA.
Send us a textWhat do you get when you mix a Scottish honeymoon burglary, a Nintendo DS heist, and Chris Pine's directorial ambitions? A rollercoaster episode of "Hey Watch It with Dan and Tony!" We kick off with Dan's personal tale of a honeymoon gone awry in the scenic lands of Scotland, leading us into a chat about Chris Pine's debut, "Poolman." Critics may have thrown shade, but we stir the pot by suggesting it might just outshine the Coen Brothers' classics, even the sacred cow, "The Big Lebowski" (which we might call overrated). From Pine to Coen, our discussion zigzags through the beloved filmography of Fargo's creators. Tony can't help but throw some shade on "Fargo" itself—blame those Minnesotan roots! We exchange blows over our favorites, from the hilarity of "Burn After Reading" to the misfires like "Hail Caesar." Amidst this cinematic battlefield, "Poolman" emerges as a breath of fresh air, free from cynicism, much like the joyous "Fired Up." We can't help but celebrate those films that whisk us away from life's daily grind.As we cruise through L.A.'s filmmaking maze, we scrutinize the narrative potholes in "Poolman," from perplexing plot twists to character motivations that take a wrong turn. But fear not, as we lighten the mood with quirky password anxieties and a nod to Melissa McCarthy's comedic ventures.

This week the discussion is about the 2008 Coen Brothers movie Burn After Reading. With the ridiculous ravings of John Malkovich, the self-induced paranoia from George Clooney, and the rest of the insane cast line-up there is a good amount of stupidity to talk about.
Games? Must we? This week we're leaving Spooktober behind us and kicking off No-Theme-ber with a bang, as King Bob frontman and Roxy Fever host Jackson McDonald returns with our second Hitchcock in just three weeks as he redeems himself by bringing a cross-country spy thriller to the table that set the template for summer thrills for everything that's come after it. Yes, it's 1959's North by Northwest, directed by Alfred Hitchcock, written by Ernest Lehman, and starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason, Leo G. Carroll and Martin Landau. A classic mistaken identity thriller, Hitchcock is recombining story elements from a number of spy films of his past, leaving one final stamp on the genre before turning his focus back to horror. The end result is a movie that has its fingerprints all over not just the Mission: Impossible franchise, but what we expect from blockbuster entertainment period. Plus: Jackson and JMo combine for theatrical field trips to The Wild Robot and Venom 3: The Last Dance, while Hayley's still buzzing over a visit to the Video Stop in Watrous, Saskatchewan. Listen to King Bob's new album, Rookie: linktr.ee/allhailkingbob Other works referenced in this episode include The Birds, The Stand, Longlegs, Us, Shutter Island, Malignant, The Thing, Star Wars, Fargo, High Fidelity, The Black Phone, Invitation to Hell, Casa Bonita Mi Amor, 6 Days to Air, Where We Call Home, Super Mario Party Jamboree, Vertigo, Rear Window, Secret Window, Trap, Koyaanisqatsi, Family Guy, Mad Men, Rope, Charade, Big Trouble in Little China, Total Recall, Hail Caesar!, Burn After Reading, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, The Maltese Falcon, Jaws, Rebecca, and The 39 Steps, among others. We'll be back next week as No-Theme-ber continues with the Steve Martin rom-com Roxanne, famously filmed in Nelson, BC (or at least famously in this part of the world), a selection brought to us by beloved guest Rachel Hadaway, who will be joining us for that one. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!

And did we Burn After Reading? Two women needed to discuss.*This episode was recorded 5/2/24 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
You'd think a star studded cast like this would come together to create something more memorable, but Dennis' pick, Burn After Reading, falls mostly flat. Bonus convo about movie rating systems and objectivity and subjectivity's weight in scoring.Released 2008 Directed by Ethan and Joel Coen. Starring George Clooney, Frances McDormand, and Brad Pitt."When a disc containing memoirs of a former CIA analyst falls into the hands of gym employees, Linda and Chad, they see a chance to make enough money for Linda to have life-changing cosmetic surgery.

The Coen Brothers are back! Well actually just one of them (Ethan Coen) but he's here to direct while also co-writing and co-producing with his wife and long-term Coen's collaborator Tricia Cooke. And what they have collaborated to deliver is an ambling, quirky, violent crime drama/comedy in the GREAT tradition of previous Coen Brothers' films like Burn After Reading, Fargo, or Raising Arizona.....but is it quite as good as those films? Well the cast certainly helps as it stars Margaret Qualley (Once Upon A Time in America) and Geraldine Viswanathan (Blockers) as two young ladies who embark on a road trip from Philly to Tallahassee, only to discover that they have a hidden package in their rented car with some VERY sketchy items. :o And of course, there are now various folks chasing after them played by a very stacked cast including Beanie Feldstein, Colman Domingo, Bill Camp, Pedro Pascal, and Matt Damon. So let's find out if this '90's throwback lives up to its pedigree....

What do we learn when mundane misunderstandings happen when people that work for clandestine organizations? We learn never to do it again, whatever it was they did. That's what this week's episode is about as we ask if Burn After Reading holds up!
We welcome Vincent Bevins back to the show to chat about his new book If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade and the Missing Revolution (hachettebookgroup.com/titles/vincent-bevins/if-we-burn/9781541788978/?lens=publicaffairs). Starting with the June 2013 protests in Brazil, we walk through the last ten years of uprisings in various cities around the world, what was learned, what wasn't, and what is to be done.
