Most true crime stories fall into the same trap—fixating on the killer, sensationalizing the violence, and leaving victims as footnotes. Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy doesn't play that game. In this episode, we sit down with executive producer Patrick McManus, actor Michael Chernus, and attorney/podcaster Bob Motta to talk about how this new Peacock series does something different. Something overdue. It centers the victims. It challenges the system. And it strips the monster of his myth. We explore the challenges of dramatizing a case with so much historical weight. McManus shares how the writers chose to humanize the victims through standalone narrative arcs. Chernus discusses the internal conflict of embodying Gacy without glorifying him. And Motta opens up about inheriting his father's defense tapes and hearing, for himself, the voice of a man who had no remorse, no empathy, and no soul. This is one of the most grounded, respectful, and important retellings of a true crime story in years. And we're honored to bring you the story behind the series.  #DevilInDisguise #PeacockGacySeries #TrueCrimeDoneRight #VictimCentered #JohnWayneGacy #BobMotta #DefenseDiaries #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimePodcast #GacyDrama Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Imagine being told you resemble one of America's most infamous serial killers—and then being asked to play him. That's the exact crossroads actor Michael Chernus found himself at when he was cast in Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy, Peacock's powerful reimagining of a case we thought we knew. In this episode, Chernus opens up about the weight of portraying Gacy—not the tabloid version, but the eerily “normal” man who blended into his suburban community while carrying out unimaginable crimes. He listened to Gacy's real voice on tapes passed down from attorney Bob Motta Sr., relayed through Bob Motta Jr., our guest and legal expert on the case. We talk about the toll this kind of character work takes, how the series avoids gratuitous violence, and why refusing to show murder on screen actually makes the series more disturbing—and more respectful. If you think you've seen every Gacy documentary, think again. This is the one that focuses not on the myth, but on the victims, the failures, and the masks we all miss.  #MichaelChernus #JohnWayneGacy #GacyTapes #DevilInDisguise #PeacockSeries #DefenseDiaries #TrueCrimeActing #PortrayingEvil #VictimFocusedTrueCrime #HiddenKillersPodcast Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The new play from playwright Bubba Weiler is about a grieving woman. Maggie, played by Quincy Tyler Bernstein, has lost her husband Marv. Marv, played by Michael Chernus, was a great, if not always perfect, husband. But as mourners, family and strangers start to come to Maggie's home, she begins to wonder if she ever really knew her husband at all. Weiler, Bernstein, and Chernus discuss "Well, I'll Let You Go," which is running at the Space at Irondale through August 29.

The Randomizer gave Josh the gift of a lifetime—an SVU featuring beloved Patriot alum Michael Chernus as Carisi's BIL-to-be. "Parole Violations" (S16E17) is the rare episode where we get a fair amount of main character backstory that works. This is a fun one where Chernus's Tommy Sullivan is being forced to bone his parole officer while his pregnant fiancée (Bella Carisi, Bella, played by Marin Ireland) is buying enormous, infant-inappropriate teddy bears, getting sonograms, and having herbal tea with Liv. As always, rabbit holes are ventured down, with time spent discussing the physiological functions of junkie junk, the college and pizza scene in Utica, beating piss tests, and Staten Island cannoli. And, obviously, Patriot factors heavily into this episode.

Totdat ze er achter komt dat ze een super getalenteerde kleuter in haar klas heeft. Hij heeft een aangeboren talent voor poëzie en laat dat nu net haar ene uitlaatklep zijn. Haar fascinatie met het jongetje wordt al snel een obsessie die haar carrière en familieleven in gevaar brengt.

Ira Chernus is a journalist, author, and professor of religious studies at the University of Colorado at Boulder. As a journalist, he has written extensively on peace, war, foreign policy, and nationalism in the United States, as well as the Israel-Palestine conflict and U.S. Middle East policy. He studies issues on war and peace and U.S. foreign policy from the perspective of a historian of religions. The former co-director of UC-Boulder’s Peace and Conflict Studies program, his research focuses on discourses of peace, war, foreign policy and nationalism in the United States. Professor Chernus is the author of nine books and numerous articles and essays. His most recent books include Monsters to Destroy: The Neoconservative War on Terror and Sin (2006), in which he examines the symbols and stories of American culture in ways that shed surprising light on the interrelationship of terms such as “conservative moralism” and “liberal interventionism,” and American Nonviolence: The History of an Idea (2004), which covers the history of nonviolence from colonial times to the present. In addition, Prof. Chernus has written comprehensively on the religious and symbolic dimensions of the nuclear age and the impact of nuclear weapons upon U.S. society and culture. His research on the Eisenhower years has lead him back to the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt for an examination of the origins of what he calls the “national security state.” An active radio commentator and op-ed writer, Professor Chernus provides perceptive and clear analyses that are lively, engaging and accessible to academics and general audiences alike. He is a contributor to the Huffington Post, Common Dreams, TomDispatch, AlterNet, Truthout, Foreign Policy in Focus, and Religion Dispatches. In 2012 he started a new blog, MythicAmerica.us, and published online MythicAmerica: Essays. His recent writings on Israel, Palestine, and the U.S. are also collected on a separate blog. He received his doctorate in religion from Temple University, specializing in the history of rabbinic Judaism. In addition to his own website (http://spot.colorado.edu/~chernus), he also has a blog devoted to his popular writing on Israel, Palestine, and the U.S. (http://chernus.wordpress.com) .

Before her evening performance, CLOSE UP SPACE cast member Jessica DiGiovanni sat down with me for a chat. We talk NY actor life & how her grind has led to working alongside all-star David Hyde Pierce. That, some Tebow Time, and a fair amount of sound effects on MyNYpod!

This afternoon's podcast is a review of two other commentaries, an excellent piec by Ira Chenus from Mother Jones and a blog from my fellow blogger and teacher, Ken Bernstein. I hope these things get you thinking.
