Serial Killers (2017)
Great coverage of the stories!
The stories chosen for the podcast are great, and they're analyzed well. Just a couple of things that prevented me from assigning 10 stars: 1. Greg kind of sounds like AI, especially in the spaces between words. 2. "I am not a psychologist" is sufficient as a disclaimer. When you go on to say, "...but I've done a lot of research, it actually takes away some credibility. I'm sorry, everything else is so good, but I laughed aloud the first few times I heard it. Yes, it's research that makes the podcast so great, so we're already convinced. :) I LOVE the sign off, "Have a killer week." I'm glad I came to this sort of late. I still have many years of episodes. Keep up the great work!
High Desert (2023)
Location and music fantastic
This quirky detective/dysfunctional family comedy/drama had so much potential. I know the actors are all really good, especially Arquette. I don't know why she's playing her character in this overblown way. Sure, she's supposed to be crass, but the yelly, whiny delivery is really hard to watch. It is extremely hard to empathize with Peggy when she seems to keep making bad decisions over and over again. She could be so much cooler, but maybe the addiction issue is what they wanted to showcase. But overall, it's clever, cute, and the story's compelling enough to keep me watching.
The Palm Springs area scenery, though, is often front and center and so beautiful to see. And the soundtrack slaps!
