How do you make readers root for a character who has done something terrible? In this episode of The Dialogue Doctor Podcast, Jeff Elkins sits down with new author Aubrey W to talk through one of the hardest emotional arcs to pull off: repentance. Aubrey is working on a thriller built around a character who has done real harm, but she does not want the reader simply waiting for punishment. She wants the reader to long for redemption. That creates a powerful craft problem. How do you make a morally compromised character compelling without excusing what they have done? Jeff and Aubrey dig into what makes readers forgive, follow, and even love difficult characters. They talk about redemption arcs, unlikable protagonists, hidden wounds, vigilante logic, unreliable narrators, and the emotional difference between justice, revenge, repentance, and mercy. The conversation pulls examples from Six of Crows, Les Misérables, Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train, Dexter, and Spider-Man to explore how authors can give readers permission to care about characters who are lying, hiding, hurting people, or justifying their worst choices. They also get into the practical craft of first-person POV, how to create two distinct narrator voices, how inner thought changes pacing, when a character should lie to the reader, and why some stories only work when we are trapped inside the character's head. Listen in if you are writing a thriller, a redemption arc, an unreliable narrator, a morally gray protagonist, or any character who needs the reader to think, "I hate what you're doing, but I still want you to change." Because redemption only works when the reader still believes there is someone inside the character worth saving. For more, check out Dialogue Doctor.com
In this episode, we listen to a mother’s lament, as depicted in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 315, penned by Kudavayil Keerathanaar. Set in the ‘Paalai’ or ‘Drylands landscape’, the verse sketches the thoughts of a mother at a moment of loss. ‘கூழையும் குறு நெறிக் கொண்டன; முலையும்சூழி மென் முகம் செப்புடன் எதிரின;பெண் துணை சான்றனள், இவள்’ எனப் பல் மாண்கண் துணை ஆக நோக்கி, நெருநையும்,அயிர்த்தன்றுமன்னே, நெஞ்சம்; பெயர்த்தும்,அறியாமையின் செறியேன், யானே;பெரும் பெயர் வழுதி கூடல் அன்ன தன்அருங் கடி வியல் நகர்ச் சிலம்பும் கழியாள்,சேணுறச் சென்று, வறுஞ் சுனைக்கு ஒல்கி,புறவுக் குயின்று உண்ட புன் காய் நெல்லிக்கோடை உதிர்த்த குவி கண் பசுங் காய்,அறு நூல் பளிங்கின் துளைக் காசு கடுப்ப,வறு நிலத்து உதிரும் அத்தம், கதுமென,கூர் வேல் விடலை பொய்ப்பப் போகி,சேக்குவள் கொல்லோதானே தேக்கின்அகல் இலை கவித்த புதல் போல் குரம்பை,ஊன் புழுக்கு அயரும் முன்றில்,கான் கெழு வாழ்நர் சிறுகுடியானே. In this trip to the drylands, it’s more about a mother’s inner landscape, as we listen to her say these words, when she learns of her daughter’s elopement: “Her tresses had taken to forming little curls, and her bosoms, round and soft, had blossomed with finesse. As my eyes showed me all this many times, thinking, ‘Oh! She's turning into a woman', even yesterday, my heart let out a sigh. And yet, owing to my ignorance, I failed to put her under guard. In our well-protected, wide mansion, akin to the renowned Vazhuthi's town of Koodal, without letting the ‘anklet ceremony' happen, she has left afar and would be languishing, near a dried-up spring, where fruits of the rough-trunked gooseberry tree, pecked on by pigeons, shed by hot winds, lie in heaps of green, appearing akin to marble discs that have slipped from a severed string, on that barren land. Such is the drylands space, where she has left to, hastily, with that young man, wielding a sharp spear, listening to his lies. In that bush-like, little hut in a hamlet, where forest dwellers relax in their front yard, sharing cooked flesh on wide teak leaves, would she now be resting?” Let’s listen to this mother’s cry and learn more! Mother starts by recollecting the thoughts that had gone through her head, just the previous day. Having glanced at the lady’s changing form, noting the curls in her tresses, and the blossoming of her bosoms, mother had been sighing, thinking of how her little one seemed to be becoming a woman. Even so, mother kicks herself now for not heeding these changes and doing what mothers then did, which is to keep their daughters under lock and key! Because of this oversight on mother’s part, now there’s no room for an important ceremony in a girl’s life to take place in their wealthy mansion, the ceremony of changing a girl’s anklets before her marriage, mother laments. Why because, the lady had left listening to the lies of that young man with a spear, and left to the drylands, where the springs are dried up, and even the gooseberries are pecked by pigeons, and lie on the ground, appearing like marble discs broken from a necklace string, mother explains. Then, she concludes by wondering if that precious daughter of hers would now be resting in a hamlet of foresters, where in the front yard of their huts, they would share cooked flesh on teak leaves. In the final lines, beyond all the pain and disappointment in mother’s voice, we sense a hope that strangers somewhere will be taking care of her daughter. A simple verse that echoes a mother’s love, which silently wishes well for her offspring, no matter where they are or what they have done!
Jenn talks about re-watching the movie Gone Girl on Netflix.
Diese Doppel-Folge aus unserem Story-Fundus beleuchtet zwei außergewöhnliche Fälle von Entführungen, die unterschiedlicher kaum sein könnten. Wir starten mit der Geschichte EISKALTE TÄUSCHUNG. Im Jahr 2012, in Anchorage, Alaska, verschwindet eine junge Frau aus einem Kaffeekiosk und erste Ermittlungen verlaufen im Nichts. Doch dann wendet sich die Geschichte mit einem bizarren Anruf des Entführers, der den Ermittlern und den Angehörigen des Opfers eine grausame Falle stellt. Drei Jahre später, 2015, in Vallejo, Kalifornien, wird eine Frau entführt, während ihr Partner eine vollkommen abenteuerliche Erklärung liefert, die an den titelgebenden Film GONE GIRL erinnert, aber erschreckend viele Wahrheiten beinhaltet. Zwei Geschichten voller Täuschungen, emotionaler Tiefpunkte und einer Frage: Wie sehr können wir unserem Bauchgefühl trauen? Bereit für das Unfassbare? Die Antworten warten – in dieser Episode. In dieser Folge: Die dramatische Entführung der gerade erst 18-jährigen Samantha Koenig aus einem Kaffeekiosk in Anchorage Alaska und das anschließende, sadistische Spiel ihres Entführers mit den Angehörigen. Und: Ein Kidnapping-Fall von 2015, der spektakulärer anmutet als jedes Hollywood-Drehbuch – Die Entführung von Denise Huskins in Vallejo, Kalifornien.
Detectives Terry Bruno and Jake Griffin think a man's story of an elaborate kidnapping is just a cover for the murder of his girlfriend. But when she turns up alive, rumors abound she staged the abduction "Gone Girl"-style. Captain Renee Curry and Sergeant Amanda Rollins arrest the ex-boyfriend who's been stalking her, but the complexities of the case make it hard for ADA Sonny Carisi to win at trial. Meanwhile, Captain Olivia Benson finds herself at loggerheads with new Chief Kathryn Tynan, who has a different view on what SVU should be doing and Benson's place in the NYPD. We're talking about Special Victims Unit season 27 episode 8 "Showdown." Our special guest is "The Glarer" Will Henry. This episode is inspired by the 2015 "Gone Girl" kidnapping.

Today's episode is a little different. It's just me, going deep on something I've never fully unpacked before: what it's actually been like to write my first novel. I take you back to 2023, when I tried to sell a nonfiction book about the science of curiosity—and how both publishers I was in talks with pulled out of the auction the morning it was supposed to happen. I thought that was the end of my book-writing chapter. It wasn't. Fast forward to January of this year, one conversation with Michael turned into an idea for a psychological thriller (think Gone Girl meets Severance), and within three hours of posting a single Instagram video announcing it, a literary agency reached out wanting to represent me, before I'd written more than two pages! I get into why that happened, what it says about the power of a platform in 2026, and the very unglamorous reality of book proposals, 43 chapter summaries, and my own "fatal flaw" as a writer (spoiler: I can't write a messy first draft to save my life). But this episode isn't really about publishing logistics. It's about the strange split between the person you think you know from my videos—grounded, married, happy—and the darker, stranger stories I've always needed somewhere to put.

The Buddies escape into Gillian Flynn's 2012 psychological thriller "Gone Girl". The Buddies tried to lighten the mood after reading this dark twist-and-turny book. They got to debating about Amy's parents and if they could have avoided raising a psychopath, the extremely short shelf life of eggs Benedict, and whether Desi Collings is a romantic hero or just a guy who watched The Notebook one too many times.

In this hotly anticipated book club episode, Sunny and Allie review the most talked-about book of the year: 'Yesteryear' by Caro Claire Burke. This debut fiction novel draws on our growing cultural fascination with "tradwife" influencers, the alarming rise of conservative values among young women, and the "angry women" who can't bring themselves to look away from them — no matter how hard they try.'Yesteryear's protagonist (and villain), Natalie, who has been compared to 'Gone Girl's Amy Dunne and 'American Psycho's Patrick Bateman, is as divisive as the book's plot-twist ending, and the girls are not seeing eye to eye. The book's high-concept premise promises great mystery and suspense, but does it deliver?Listen to this episode to be a part of a conversation that has taken the internet by storm.

Gillian Flynn's novel Gone Girl defined a literary niche when it first came out in 2012, and it still defines it to this day. David Fincher's great 2014 adaptation—written in collaboration with Flynn—is one of the greatest and most fun movie thrillers of the 21st century. Now I want to present you with a terrifying scenario: What if this book had come out three years later, and instead of this glorious 2.5-hour film, we got a boring 12-hour streaming series? Come on, you can see it right now in your mind: Episode 3 is a flashback to Amy's life as a child, with none of the regular actors in it. Episode 9 is the Desi episode, and Amy finally arrives at his door right before the closing credits. No thank you. And so 1-Week Rental is here to take you through the history of that movie. How Gillian Flynn wrote her novel and then worked closely with Fincher on the production, how perfect the casting of both Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike was, how Reese Witherspoon produced the movie with the intention of playing Amazing Amy herself only to be told by Fincher she was all wrong for the part, and how this movie is loosely based on the lives of Laci Roth and Matt Stokes. Did you know that? Watch the history segment in full on YouTube: https://youtu.be/i0WuyvYAyrg We're off next week (June 5, 2026). The next episode will be out on Friday, June 12, 2026 when our summer miniseries begins. The Summer of Nolan opens with a podcast about Christopher Nolan's Memento (2000)!

Drop Dead Fred has an 11% on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics absolutely hated it. But it's really good! Seriously. Let Matt and Laci tell you all about it... ...for the second time. That's right, it's time to return to a movie we've covered already. The first time was nearly a decade ago, on the tenth episode of this podcast. Back then, the show was called Load Bearing Beams and it came out every 73 days. We've gotten more consistent since then. Back then we were stunned at how sweet, funny, and insightful Drop Dead Fred is... and it still is! It's nice when that happens. Before diving into an in-depth discussion of the movie, we go through its production history, and then look at the careers of stars Rik Mayall and Phoebe Cates. The Rik Mayall portion shows us how badly we need a Britain Correspondent (email us!) to understand television over there. Then, while going through Phoebe Cates's career, we saw some, uh, interesting stuff that may have informed her performance as a woman who's spent her life being handed from controlling adult to controlling adult. Remember, this show contains irresponsible psychoanalysis for which we are wildly unqualified. Watch the history segment in full: https://youtu.be/V855FOu-u1A Next week (May 29, 2026): In our last episode before we begin our summer miniseries, we're treating ourselves to David Fincher's Gone Girl (2014).

A welcome meal for the star amidst her West End run. Rosamund Pike is the latest theatre actor to visit us in the middle of a hectic show schedule, with a performance at London's Wyndham's Theatre to follow her visit to Dish. In Inter Alia, Rosumund stars as Jessica Parks, a London Crown Court Judge balancing work, motherhood and friendship. It's an incredible central performance that earned Rosamund an Olivier Award for Best Actress, just a few days before we sat down to record. Rosamund, celebrated for her roles in Pride & Prejudice, Die Another Day, Gone Girl and I Care A Lot, also has a new film on the horizon; Ladies First is a fantastical comedy where a misogynistic CEO Damian (Sacha Baron Cohen) finds himself in a world dominated by women, with Alex, played by Rosamund, as his boss. Ladies First is coming to Netflix on 22 May. Angela serves Rosamund a beautiful dish of roast trout with brown butter alongside freshly cooked asparagus. The meal is perfectly paired with a glass of The Ned Pinnacle Sauvignon Blanc. Rosamund, a keen cook, is delighted with a hot plate of food at a time when her pre-show meals are dominated by cold salads - and the occasional sardine… With a wide ranging career on stage and on film, we get some brilliant tales of life on-set from Rosamund, including dark chocolate energy boosts, and the value of co-stars who double up as mixologists.

How do you build a life of greatness when your starting point doesn't look like opportunity at all?In this episode, Sarah Grynberg sits down with one of Hollywood's most respected producers, Bruna Papandrea, to explore the journey from growing up in a low socioeconomic household in South Australia to producing some of the most iconic films and television series of our time, including Big Little Lies, Gone Girl and Wild.Together, they unpack the moments that shaped Bruna's path, from the teachers who gave her confidence, to the heartbreak and curiosity that led her across the world, and the pivotal opportunities that changed everything.

Rosamund Pike! What a woman. Famed for her portrayals of razor-sharp, morally complex and deliciously unpredictable characters, she brings that same intriguing duality to this conversation. Thoughtful and quietly rebellious, she reflects on a career that has defied neat narratives from the very beginning. After taking a year out from studying English at University of Oxford to pursue acting, she graduated and stepped straight into the global spotlight as Bond girl Miranda Frost in Die Another Day. From there came a string of unforgettable movies: Pride & Prejudice, Jack Reacher, A Private War and Saltburn. Her chilling performance in Gone Girl earned her an Oscar nomination and she took home a Golden Globe for I Care a Lot. In 2025, she returned to the stage for the first time in 15 years in the National Theatre's production of Inter Alia. In this episode, she talks about her ‘failure' to get married, the realities of raising two sons and her decision not to read a single review of her work for the past 25 years. Plus why she's ‘constantly in battle' with her own fear, her failure to be an action movie hero, her miserable attempt to cook a rabbit and whether or not she's ‘cool'. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Intro 03:18 No reviews rule 06:57 Early perfectionism and stage craft 07:58 Inter Alia and modern womanhood 10:09 Luminate meditation mask 12:42 Failure to learn Chinese 19:09 Onstage mishaps and acting roles 28:59 What Cool Really Means 29:26 Cool Girl vs Amy 32:21 Failing at Being An Action Star 36:52 Failure to Get Married 45:17 Mothering Two Boys 47:28 Smells and Teen Hygiene 48:44 Rabbit Dinner and Being Enough
On today's daily podcast, we dive headfirst into a real-life story that feels like Gone Girl but somehow even more chaotic — because this one actually happened. A mom in North Carolina tells her kids she's heading out to do some Christmas shopping… and then vanishes. No calls. No sightings. No updates. For. Twenty. Four. Years.Yeah. Twenty. Four.The FBI got involved. The husband was suspected. The kids grew up believing their mom was either dead or abducted. Every holiday season? Trauma with tinsel on top. And then — out of nowhere — she's found alive, living just a couple hours away, apparently doing just fine.So today on the show, we unpack everything:• Is disappearing legally allowed? (Surprisingly… kind of.)• Should there be abandonment charges?• Could you ever forgive a parent for that?• And how in the hell do you start over without anyone noticing for two decades?The crew goes full debate mode. Is she a sociopath? Was there something darker going on? Did she just decide “nah” and hit reset? We don't have all the answers — but we absolutely have opinions. Loud ones.Plus, we spiral (in true Rizz Show fashion) into van life influencers, whether running away mid-commute is a universal parent fantasy, generational breakdowns from Silent Gen to Gen Beta, and the psychology of wanting to disappear for a few hours… or forever.It's messy. It's emotional. It's sarcastic. It's exactly what you expect from your favorite daily podcast that can pivot from serious true crime to sunscreen jokes in under 90 seconds.And yes — we also roast VIP festival passes, debate whether it's weird to go to concerts alone, and question the morality of gifting someone ONE ticket. (Who does that?)If you love real stories that make you say “wait… WHAT?” — this episode of our daily podcast delivers.Welcome to The Rizzuto Show.

In the news cycle, an elderly woman attempting to poison her husband would have garnered a pretty small amount of attention from the press, then faded away when a larger story came along. But it didn't take long for the press to learn that the poisoning of Melissa Ann Shepard's new husband wasn't the first time she had been suspected or convicted of attempted murder. In fact, Melissa Ann Shepard had a criminal history in two countries that went back decades, including many crimes that were very similar to the one she had just perpetrated only with a much worse outcome.
