Episode 21 - 8213: Gacy House (2010)

(CONTENT WARNING: This is easily the most despicable and disgusting movie we've reviewed yet, so if you're easily disturbed or upset by cinematic portrayals of rape and the discussion of them, skip this episode.)We can't even joke about this one, y'all - in this episode we trash the 2012 "Paranormal Activity" ripoff, "100 Ghost Street: The Return of Richard Speck" - a film that uses cheap shock tactics like murder via ghost rape to scare the audience it has duped into watching it.

Hi everyone! The new episode is taking longer than usual due to Dan and Jesse needing to wrap up edits on "THE ACID KING", their true crime documentary, so this week we're giving you a bonus episode of Micheal's podcast, UNRESOLVED. In this special episode, Micheal talks about a true crime movie of a different breed - the "Grave Robbing for Morons" tape! Sit back and enjoy, and TRUE CRIME MOVIE CLUB will return to its regular format shortly. Stay safe and don't get COVID!

BONUS EPISODE: Unresolved - "Grave Robbing For Morons"

Back in 2019, Dan, Chef Bagels, and Jesse recorded an episode of their sister show, PODCAST 1289, where they talked about a bunch of really stupid news articles involving Ted Bundy, along with a discussion about the Netflix film, "Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile", which had just been released. In the wake of the overwhelmingly positive reception that episode received, the boys asked themselves "Hey, wouldn't it be kind of funny to watch terrible serial killer films and roast them on a brand-new podcast?" - and TRUE CRIME MOVIE CLUB was born!

BONUS EPISODE: "Teb Dundy" - The Birth of TRUE CRIME MOVIE CLUB!
