The U.S. military teaches recruits to function together as a well-oiled machine—and for young people who dream of joining the most elite forces, it requires discipline, commitment, and loyalty, not to mention the courage to put yourself in harm's way for the greater good. For the ones with the deepest commitment, there has to be a fire in the belly that drives them to keep their eye on the prize, no matter what the risks. Most of the time this sets the stage for great achievements. But sometimes, the personality type that lends itself to flawless dedication can teeter over the line into feverish obsession. Where's the line? When you've cultivated a “failure is not an option” attitude your entire life, how do you put the brakes on when that determination starts to bleed into your personal relationships? Join us for the story of one of the most infamous killer couples of the 1990s: Diane Zamora and David Graham. Join Katie and Whitney, plus the hosts of Last Podcast on the Left, Sinisterhood, and Scared to Death, on the very first CRIMEWAVE true crime cruise!

Richard Linklater is a hit man, but not in the assassin sense of the word. No, the hits he trades in are of the movie variety – stylish cult classics that vary in genre and form, but always manage to ignite something powerful in viewers. It's been that way for three and a half decades now: among his hits, dating back to 1990, are Dazed and Confused, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Before Midnight, Boyhood, School of Rock, A Scanner Darkly, Slacker, Waking Life, Everybody Wants Some, Fast Food Nation… the list goes on. No wonder the Texan is one of the most respected names in modern American cinema – a force both prolific and patient, as his multiple movies shot across numerous decades prove. 2014 coming-of-age drama Boyhood was filmed across twelve years, with Merrily We Roll Along – a Paul Mescal-starring Sondheim adaptation, to be shot across twenty years – among his current projects.Earlier this year, he released Hit Man – a romantic comedy of sorts, with a hint of thriller thrown in for good measure, about a bashful college professor with a unique side hustle. Gary, played by the film's co-writer Glen Powell, has a recurring gig with the New Orleans police force, pretending to be an contract killer. He wears a wire to meet with people seeking to order a hit on their spouses, their work colleagues, their parents and so on. It's a gig that's going smoothly for Gary, until he meets Madison, played by Adria Arjona – a woman trying to escape an abusive husband, who Gary begins to fall for. What follows is Linklater in full-blown crowd-pleasing mode.In the conversation you're about to hear, we discuss what it was about this true-ish story, adapted from a newspaper article by journalist Skip Hollandsworth, that spoke to Richard. We talk about the baseball injury that put him on a path to filmmaking (and how it might have led to the unstoppable pace with which he makes movies). And we break down every detail of Hit Man, one of the movies of 2024, in spoiler-filled detail.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

It's here: https://youtu.be/SFN3xYUzTxgLast time, we were chilled in Lockhart Texas, learning about a creepy teenager called Mary (as told in a section of Randal Sullivan's excellent book 'The Devil's Best Trick'). Now, that action moved the north, in Childress, when in 1988, another teen is found dead. His name is Tate Rowland. Tate's death would be a catalyst for a disturbing series of events. Yet when yet another body is found, the locals can barely believe who it is, sparking genuine fears that a Satanic Cult was at work in their town.

In which the Mister joins me in reviewing HIT MAN (2023), based off articles in the Texas Monthly by writer Skip Hollandsworth, the script here is credited to Glen Powell and Richard Linklater (who is also the director).  The film follows the story of a bland college philosophy professor named Gary Johnson (Glen Powell) who finds himself living a double-life when he agrees to moonlight for the local police department as a fake hitman.  Soon things get muddled when he starts developing feelings for a woman (Adria Arjona) who he initially meets when she tries to hire him to take out her husband.  The film has a run time of 1 h and 55 m, is rated R and is currently streaming on Netflix.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review. #HitMan  #SkipHollandsworth  #RichardLinklater  #GlenPowell  #Gary  #AdriaArjona  #Madison  #AustinAmelio  #Jasper  #Retta  #Claudette  #SanjayRao  #Phil  @Netflix  #FridayFamilyFilmNightOpening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jokagoge/support

Produced and directed by Richard Linklater, Hit Man is the romantic action comedy film based on the 2001 Texas Monthly magazine article of the same name by Skip Hollandsworth. Strait-laced professor Gary Johnson (Glen Powell) moonlights as a fake hit man for the New Orleans Police Department. Gifted at inhabiting different guises and personalities to catch hapless people hoping to bump off their enemies, Gary descends into morally dubious territory when he finds himself attracted to one of those potential criminals, a beautiful young woman named Madison (Adria Arjona). As Madison falls for one of Gary's hit man personas - the mysteriously sexy Ron - their steamy affair sets off a chain reaction of play acting, deception, and escalating stakes.

In this episode Daniel is joined by co-host Mason to talk about the latest Richard Linklater film, Hit Man. Starring Glen Powell, this story is loosely based on the amazing true story of Gary Johnson, who moonlit as a fake hit man for the Houston Police (covered in the 2001 article Hit Man by Skip Hollandsworth).  Films discussed during this episode: Hit Man Boyhood Everybody Wants Some! Furiosa Twisters Deadpool and Wolverine Gladiator 2 Trap Hit Man is out now on Netflix.

On this week's show, the hosts begin by jumping into Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, a prequel to George Miller's 2015 Fury Road, in which Anya Taylor-Joy stars as Furiosa, an arachnid beauty who's stolen as a child and becomes a wasteland road warrior. She's a “strong, silent type,” typical of the action film genre, but does that trope mean something different with a female protagonist in 2024? The panel discusses. (Read Dana's review of Furiosa!) Then, the three chat Hit Man, Richard Linklater's latest starring Glen Powell as Gary Johnson, a college professor who moonlights as a fake gunman for hire. It's a delightful rom-com tucked within a thriller—a romantic thriller, if you will–that manages to feel like a hangout film despite its ridiculous premise. (Read Dana's review of Hat Man!) Finally, ScarJo or FauxJo? Tech journalist and author of Blood in the Machine: The Origins of the Rebellion Against Big Tech Brian Merchant joins the panel to parse through Silicon's Valley's latest scandal: Scarlett Johansson accusing ChatGPT of stealing her voice for its new interface program.

A gunman rushed into the Texas Commerce Bank, barking orders. He wore a mask. He disguised his voice. Bank tellers Kelly McGinnis and Lisa Silvas were terrified. It had finally happened. The bank was being robbed. The young tellers had asked management to increase security measures. But management said that the motor bank, which only provided drive-thru service, was secure enough. The gunman proved them wrong. Then Kristin tells us about Keyon Harrold and his 14-year-old son, Keyon Harrold Jr, who were staying at the Arlo SoHo Hotel on December 26, 2020. That morning, they headed down to the hotel's restaurant for brunch. On the way there, an irate woman accused Keyon Harrold Jr of stealing her cell phone. When Keyon Harrold Senior told her to back off, she chased after them, tackling 14-year-old Keyon to the ground. A video of the incident went viral. People dubbed the woman SoHo Karen, though her true identity quickly became known. Her name was Miya Ponsetto, and she wasn't very sorry. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: Keyon Harrold's Instagram “Woman pleads guilty to tackling Black teen she wrongly accused of phone theft,” by Jonathan Edwards for The Washington Post “Miya Ponsetto, woman who falsely accused Black teen of stealing her phone at NYC hotel, makes plea deal,” by Zoe Christen Jones for CBS News “Woman who tackled Black teenager at SoHo hotel is arrested,” by Mihir Zaveri for The New York Times “Woman who falsely accused Black teen in SoHo is charged with hate crime,” by Precious Fondren for The New York Times “Woman pleads guilty to tackling Black teen at SoHo hotel,” by Ed Shanahan for The New York Times “Parents of the teen who Miya Ponsetto falsely accused say her arrest is the first step for justice,” CBS This Morning video on YouTube “‘SoHo Karen' is no-show in civil case, shows ‘disrespect': judge,” by Tamar Lapin for the New York Post “Jazz musician calls for charges against woman who falsely accused Black son of theft,” by Haley Yamada and Sabina Ghebremedhin for ABC News “Video emerges of ‘SoHo Karen' Miya Ponsetto fighting with cops during DUI bust,” by Rebecca Rosenberg for the New York Post Miya Ponsetto's interview with Gayle King for CBS This Morning on YouTube In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “The Almost Great Bank Robbery” by Skip Hollandsworth, Texas Monthly “True Crimes: Don't Mess With Texas (Banks)” by Kara Kovalchik, Mental Floss “Ex-cop, bank robber in trouble again” by Guillermo Contreras, mysanantonio.com “Sentencing delayed for former SAPD officer turned bank robber” KENS 5 News YOU'RE STILL READING?

In the early 90s, north Texas was hit with a rash of bank robberies, all featuring a quirky-looking, mustached bandit the feds called Cowboy Bob. Bob was prolific, and his MO was smoother than silk—no muss, no fuss, in and out in 60 seconds with a satchel full of cash. The FBI figured they were dealing with a pro, a man with years of heists under his belt and nerves of chilled steel. They couldn't have been more wrong…and in more ways than one. Join us for the tale of one of America's strangest serial bank robbers, whose criminal career wasn't so much about the money as it was about the thrill.

Austin, Texas, 1884. A city that was on the very edge of modernity. A town that had grown by almost 5x in population in twenty years. Some were calling Austin the Athens of the West. Indeed, there were not one, not two, but three colleges to study at. You could buy one of 10,000 books at Gammel's, downtown, and the sunset red granite was being laid for what would be the largest state capitol in the country (and yes, also bigger than the U.S. Capitol). Granite, I might add, that still emits trace radiation over a hundred years later. Children were known to ride around town on velocipedes, or bicycles. But among the life springing forth in Texas' capital city was a midnight monster determined to end life. A murderer so unusually violent and random that history would dub them America's first serial killer.

Today is the strange, made-for-Hollywood (and indeed, it was made-for-Hollywood) story of a universally beloved funeral director, Bernie Tiede. A warm, charming man who ingratiated himself in the small town community of Carthage, Texas, with his generous spirit, godly mannerisms, and gorgeous singing voice, Bernie made an unlikely best friendship in a woman several decades his senior, the wealthiest widow in town, Marjorie Nugent. But what started as a dream ended in a nightmare that enraptured the whole town of Carthage, a Texas Monthly columnist, and...Jack Black...?...!

As a young man Bernie worked at funeral home to help his family cover expenses. He eventually went to mortuary school and started working at a funeral home in Carthage, Texas. This is where he met 81 year old Marjorie Nugent, one of the most wealthy widows in Carthage. He looked after her after her husband died and they became fast friends. However, when he started working for her formally, things went terribly. Marjorie was controlling, and didn't like some of his work, and Bernie felt suffocated. Taryn tells us about the insane story that inspired the movie "Bernie" with Jack Black and Shirley Maclaine.  - The Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AlmostPod The Website: almostpod.com Instagram: instagram.com/almostpod Facebook: facebook.com/almostpod Twitter: twitter.com/AlmostATCpod - Content: 00:00 - Intro 2:35 - Start of Case 3:30 - Start of Funeral Career 5:55 - Working in Carthage 7:35 - Reputation with Widows  11:19 - Meeting Marjorie Nugent 13:38 - Marjories Reputation 16:18 - Bernie and Marjorie Meet 17:10 - Start of Their Friendship 20:31 - Bernie Starts Working for marjorie  22:23 - Will and Spending Her Money 26:57 - Start of The Shadiness  31:10 - Body Found 32:15 - Bernie Caught 32:56 - The Fall Out and Response 38:34 - The Trial and Conviction  39:31 - The Movie 41:54 - New Evidence and Request for New Sentence 45:47 - New Sentencing Trial  52:35 - New Sentencing and Fall Out 55:19 - Wrap Up - Please rate and review us wherever you're listening, we love those 5 stars almost as much as we love champagne. - If you have any questions, comments, concerns, suggestions, or corrections, you can email us at almostpod@gmail.com !! - Intro by the amazing Rux Ton: https://www.facebook.com/rukkuston - Logo by Sloane of The Sophisticated Crayon: https://www.instagram.com/thesophisticatedcrayon/ - SOURCES: https://www.texasmonthly.com/the-culture/midnight-in-the-garden-of-east-texas/  https://www.texasmonthly.com/arts-entertainment/what-to-make-of-bernie-tiede-now/  https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/bernie-has-been-released-from-prison/  https://www.texasmonthly.com/ articles by Skip Hollandsworth.   

Steven Robards was in rough shape. He'd been perfectly fine just hours earlier, but suddenly, the 38-year-old man's arms and legs went stiff. He couldn't swallow. His mouth foamed. By the time paramedics arrived at Steven's apartment, there was little they could do. Steven died, apparently from a heart attack. For his daughter, Dorothy Marie Robards, his death was yet another tragedy in her already tumultuous life.  Then Kristin tells us about a high school student named Matthew Fraser, who caused a stir when he gave a hilarious, innuendo-laced speech to his fellow Bethel High School students. During a school assembly with nearly 600 students present, Matthew nominated his friend for student body vice president by telling them that his friend was “rock hard -- he's firm in his pants, he's firm in his shirt, his character is firm -- but most of all, his belief in you, the students of Bethel, is firm.” The school administrators were not amused.

Skip Hollandsworth tracks down the Goree All Girl String Band, whose dreams of leading normal, anonymous lives required them, first, to become country music stars.

Sherry Shriner had a wacky belief: That alien lizards had come to Earth, shape shifted into human form, and were conspiring to put the antichrist in power. Sherry shared this belief online, and incredibly, her views gained traction. Soon, thousands of people came to believe the “prophet” Sherry Shriner’s teachings. Steven Mineo and his girlfriend Barbara Rogers were two of Sherry’s loyal followers. But when Barbara made a Facebook post about steak tartare, their online community turned on them.Then Kristin tells us about the Angleton family. The Angletons had it all. They lived in an affluent area of Houston, Texas. They belonged to the best country club. They hobnobbed with all the right people. Bob Angleton worked long hours as a bookie. His hard work meant big money. But the money couldn’t make up for the problems in Bob and Doris’ marriage. So in February of 1997, Doris asked Bob for a divorce. Two months later, police discovered Doris Angleton dead in her home.And now for a note about our process.

This week’s podcast episode finds Merie and Becky delving into a Texas-based obsessive football parent, Bill Butterfield, and discussing the violence that ensues. Along the way, they address burning questions you didn’t know you had, like: What exactly IS Merie’s violent past with the Texas speech and debate circuit? Why is Becky giving wholehearted encouragement for you to be an abject failure? Why is Merie trying to destroy your dreams? Whose house is filled with all the gluten? How will Merie somehow manage to be the first woman president, as predicted by her high school classmates Just how terribly inaccurate was Merie’s COVID wine bottle count? Why isn’t Merie convinced that Becky is pretty good at sports? Which is the better film: Bernie or Weekend at Bernie’s? (hint: it’s Bernie.) Come for the shower thoughts and farm analogies. Stay for the most hilarious softball story you’ve ever heard. (Trust me.)

Ripperology ripper +‎ - ology The study of Jack the Ripper (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_the_Ripper) , an unidentified (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/unidentified) serial killer (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/serial_killer) active around the Whitechapel (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Whitechapel) district of London (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/London) in the late 19th century. Investigating a historical mystery is hard. All of the witnesses are deceased, all of the physical evidence is gone. The documents and files have been lost. Even the scene of the crimes has changed; Whitechapel isn’t the same as it was in 1888. This seems like such an impossible task. FBI profiler John Douglas attempted to provide advice to investigators; at the conclusion of his report analyzing the Whitechapel murders. He said “Jack the Ripper would be best suited to be interviewed in the early morning hours; he would feel more relaxed and secure to confess to the homicides. He would feel more relaxed to express himself by writing about his motivation to kill the women. He would not be visibly shaken or upset if accused of the homicides. However he would be psychologically and physiologically stressed if confronted with the fact that he became personally soiled by the victim's blood." But this report was written in 1988; over a hundred years after the murders were committed. We can’t interview suspects; not directly at least. We are chasing a ghost. The witnesses in this case must speak to us through their letters, and their journal entries. Through media reports and other documents that they left behind. This investigation is ongoing. So far we’ve covered five suspects, but we still have a long way to go. Welcome back to Vanished: Jack the Ripper.

Acclaimed true crime writer Skip Hollandsworth digs into a question that’s been plaguing the small Texas town of Canadian for four years: What happened to Tom Brown? The popular high school senior disappeared on Thanksgiving eve of 2016. His whereabouts were unknown until two years later, when his body was found—but what happened to him is still a mystery and everyone is a suspect.

Margo and Lindsey discuss the historic ax murders of Austin, Texas as told in the book The Midnight Assassin by Skip Hollandsworth. For one year – 1885, a seemingly deranged ax murderer dubbed the Midnight Assassin terrorized the people of Austin, just as the city was on the verge of becoming the cosmopolitan capitol of Texas. Panic in the city hit a fever pitch on Christmas Eve 1885, when for the first time the murderer targeted two white women. And then – poof! – he was gone! The author explores the similarities between the Midnight Assassin and Jack the Ripper, and Margo and Lindsey discuss old-timey Texas and their own theories of the murders. Join us!!!

Hey everybody! With Brandi out on maternity leave, we decided to rebroadcast one of our favorite episodes -- the Bad Dads episode, featuring Kristin's Dad, Daryl Pitts. But why this episode? Well, hold onto your hat. We chose this episode to prepare you for NEXT week, when DP will guest star in a brand new episode. That's right. Two weeks of DP. Can you handle it?? Guess who’s baaaack? It’s none other than Daryl Pitts, a.k.a. DP. For some reason, you people just can’t get enough DP. We don’t judge. We just indulge your every whim.     For this episode, we let the judges on Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/lgtcpodcast) pick our theme. We asked them to choose between spoiled kids and bad dads, and bad dads won by a mile.    Brandi starts us off with a predictably dark case. When Christian Longo met Mary Jane Baker, the two hit it off almost immediately. They were both Jehovah’s Witnesses, and both eager to start a family. But Christian didn’t pay much attention to the commandments. He stole regularly. He committed adultery. Eventually, he committed murder.    Then Kristin tells us about a sketchy family business. Scott Catt loved robbing banks. It was easy. The tellers never put up a fight. There was a downside, though. The payoffs were never very big. So one day, Scott got to thinking. If he recruited some more robbers, he could get into the vault. His haul would be so much bigger. So he asked his son, Hayden, and daughter, Abby, to join him.     And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases.   In this episode, Kristin pulled from: Episode of 20/20 “A Family Affair” “I would only rob banks for my family,” by Skip Hollandsworth for Texas Monthly  Catt Family wikipedia page    In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “The Trials of Christian Longo” by Elizabeth Engstrom, The Crime Library “Christian Longo” entry, crimehttp://museum.org “Oregon v.

In the final episode on Dean Corll, Alix and Sunshine tell the rest of the story, complete with several endings. (Most of them, pretty bad). The trio has begun a dissolution, but the way the killing spree comes to a final stop is quite the surprise. Some victims remain unidentified, others may still have never even been found.

In the winter of 2007, the Nintendo Wii reigned supreme. It was cool, new, and impossible to get ahold of. So when the California radio station KDND-FM 107.9 The End announced their “hold your wee for a Wii” contest, 28-year-old mother of three Jennifer Strange signed up. She and 17 other participants went to the radio station, where they were given water every ten minutes for nearly three hours. As the contest went on, the participants ached with discomfort. It was entertaining radio. But concerned listeners called the station. They warned the DJs that the contest was dangerous. Hadn’t they heard of water intoxication? One DJ said that he had, but he wasn’t worried. The participants had all signed releases. No matter what happened, the station couldn’t be held liable.  Then Brandi tells us one of her strangest stories yet. It’s hard to know what’s true about Treva Throneberry’s complicated life, but one thing is for certain — she was a very troubled girl. When she was in high school, Treva sought the help of police. She told them that her father had raped her at gunpoint, and that when she’d tried to tell her mom, she’d just laughed. Treva’s three sisters doubted her story, but they didn’t doubt that she’d been raped. They’d all been sexually abused by an uncle. Surely the predatory uncle had gone after Treva, too. But before anyone could get to the truth, Treva vanished.  And now for a note about our process.

In Episode 2 of the Candy Man, Sunshine and Alix are talking about Dean Corll's accomplices, David Brooks and Wayne Henley - two teenage boys who could have become Corll's next victims, but he liked enough to keep around and use in his sick past times. Starting with the murders that bring the boys in and going to the point where their relationships begin to crack.

In this episode, they talk about the life of Dean Corll - The Candy Man - all the way up to his first confirmed murder.

Jeanette Ortiz was a model Chipotle employee. She’d worked there for 14 years. She had excellent performance reviews. But in early 2015, things got weird. Hundreds of dollars went missing from the restaurant’s safe. A manager came in to review the restaurant’s surveillance footage and claimed the camera had captured Jeanette stealing the money. But had she? Then Brandi tells us about Clara Harris, a woman who thought she had the perfect marriage. Little did Clara know, her husband David Harris was having an affair with a co-worker named Gail Bridges. When the affair finally came out into the open, David told Clara he wanted to work on their marriage. He just needed one last meeting with Gail to end things for good. Clara let him go, but she wasn’t far behind. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary.

After the hair, the fibers, the alibis, and the witnesses, one big question still hung over the trial of Charles Albright: why did he cut out their eyes? That would remain unanswered until a year and a half later, when journalist Skip Hollandsworth published his article titled "See No Evil" for the magazine "Texas Monthly." How did he gain such access to Albright? When did an obsession with eyes start to show up? What was in the cryptic letter that Skip received when the article was published? He's here to shine some light on the curious behaviors of Charles Albright.Read Skip Hollandsworth's article: https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/see-no-evil-3/Be sure to subscribe to the show, and please leave a rating and review if possible.

WARNING: The audio in this episode is rough. What can we say? We were young(ish), dumb, and thought we’d save a little money by sharing one microphone. Yeah. The audio quality improves drastically after episode 9.  Susan Wright stabbed her husband 193 times, left his dead body half-buried in the backyard, then asked police for a restraining order against him. A restraining order against her dead husband. So, what was up? It depends on who you ask. Some say she’s a cold blooded killer. The media even dubbed her the Blue-Eyed Butcher. But Susan tells a different story. She says that her husband had abused her for years and that she killed him to protect herself and her children. Lifetime movie aficionados Brandi and Kristin think the truth lies somewhere in between. Then Kristin talks about con artist Cassie Chadwick. This woman knew her craft. In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, she talked countless people and banks out of millions of dollars. How did she do it? By starting a rumor that she was the illegitimate daughter of Andrew Carnegie. For years, her scheme worked perfectly. Until it didn’t. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia.
