Killer Fun Podcast - Exploring the Intersection of Crime & Entertainment Exploring the intersection of crime and entertainment...
hating on crime, loving on *crimey* media! We don’t LIKE crime, but we are fascinated by it.

Killer Fun explores the intersection of crime and entertainment. A couple times a month we watch a television show, movie, read a book, play a game or delve into other forms of entertainment that involve crime - both real and fictional. Join Christy and Jackie for some well-researched facts - and laughs - every episode. Christy is a super-sleuth when it comes to internet research and Jackie has a Master's Degree in Psychology from Harvard.

As the plumber told Aggie in The Beast in Me, a clogged or broken sewer line - which can be caused by tree roots, particularly in older homes - can be the culprit when water comes UP the drain
https://www.metroheating.net/why-water-backs-up-into-your-tub-common-causes-and-solutions/

Aggie won the Pulitzer Prize for her memoir in The Beast in Me. Much of the process is mysterious by design, to peek the process free of interference

And

Oyster Bay, NY is a real place! No news for East Coasters, but important for the audience of The Beast in Me from elsewhere.

Wired extolls the virtues of obvious - and ugly - security cameras like what Nile put up in The Beast in Me
https://www.wired.com/story/in-praise-of-ugly-conspicuous-security-cameras/

Nile in The Beast in Me requested easements of his neighbors for a jogging trail. That seems like it was all in line with the real rules in New York where the show is set

And

Aggie in The Beast in Me reaches out to her ex-wife, Shelly, but she isn’t interested in communicating. Here are some tips
https://www.growingself.com/communicate-with-withdrawn-partner/

The possibility of divorce after the loss of a child, like what Aggie and Shelly suffered in The Beast in Me, is elevated but not the dire statistics that were once reported.

Jarvis Yards in The Beast in Me is almost certainly based on Hudson Yards, the actual largest mixed-use development in American history

As Nile said in The Beast in Me, beet juice has many potential health benefits. The taste is a matter of preference
https://www.healthline.com/health/food-nutrition/beetroot-juice-benefits

In The Beast in Me, Nile observes that Aggie is more confident in her writing than in person. This isn’t unusual
https://medium.com/minds-without-borders/why-some-people-write-better-than-they-speak-bf515304a4ba

Shelly in The Beast in Me is right: sometimes bad things just happen
https://www.corriesirota.com/sometimes-bad-things-just-happen/

Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Antonin Scalia, supreme court judges with opposite political opinions, we indeed friends as Aggie said in The Beast in Me
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/22/opinion/ruth-bader-ginsburg-antonin-scalia.html

A study suggests that, contrary to Nile’s impression of vegans in The Beast in Me, people forgoing meat are MORE interested in achievement and power.

Everyone has a price, at least as far as Nile is concerned in The Beast in Me
https://medium.com/illumination/is-it-true-that-everyone-has-their-price-c7790872335f

Teddy in The Beast in Me refused a breathalyzer test. It depends on where you if if you can refuse to submit to this on the scene.
https://www.thehoustondwilawyer.com/refusing-the-breathalyzer-test/

In New York, where The Beast in Me is set, refusing a breathalyzer can have some steep civil consequences even if you avoid criminal charges
https://codywarnercriminaldefense.com/what-happens-if-you-refuse-a-breathalyzer-in-ny/

Aggie in The Beast in Me wanted Teddy to suffer because she didn’t feel like there was justice.

Be wary of ANYONE who calls themselves the perfect ANYTHING. Susan Lorincz was anything but what she called herself - The Perfect Neighbor.

Here is information from the sources we used - and much more!

The Perfect Neighbor should be a warning to us all
https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/the-perfect-neighbor-ending-explained

The Marion County Sheriff’s Office, the responding organization in The Perfect Neighbor, has a website

Ocala PD - located in Marion County in Florida where the events of The Perfect Neighbor took place - started using body cameras for the police in 2014.

Unwanted noise, like what Susan complained about in The Perfect Neighbor, is a common cause of neighbor disputes
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/in-the-neighborhood/201210/neighbors-when-things-go-wrong

Neighbors not getting along, like the situation in The Perfect Neighbor, isn’t unusual and not uniquely American

Kindness toward your neighbors is beneficial to you. A lesson Susan would have done well to learn in The Perfect Neighbor

Negative people tend to have some common traits

Ajike Owens, who was central the events in The Perfect Neighbor, was indeed in leadership at a Florida McDonald’s
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/255627718/ajike_shantrell-owens

Susan in The Perfect Neighbor was annoyed that a police officer didn’t have a perfect understanding of a certain law. Evidently police don’t have to.

And
https://cmlawfirm.com/ignorance-of-law-is-not-an-excuse-unless-you-are-a-police-officer-by-bill-mitchell/

Police don’t typically intervene in purely civil matters, like Susan’s desire to never know that she had neighbors in The Perfect Neighbor, unless there is a criminal component.

And
https://www.persaudlawoffice.com/post/can-police-enforce-civil-law

Susan in The Perfect Neighbor referred to herself as “Dr. Lorincz” at one point, but there isn’t evidence she held such a degree

The full 911 call after Susan shot Ajike that wasn’t included in The Perfect Neighbor
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMHqBHKr2nk

The police officer reading Susan her Miranda Rights in The Perfect Neighbor did so as a courtesy and not as a requirement

And
https://south-floridaattorney.com/understanding-your-florida-miranda-rights/

Ajike’s death, as we saw the situation in The Perfect Neighbor, was Susan’s fault and not AJ’s sweet children. Guilt is a common emotion when children lose a parent.
https://experiencecamps.org/blog/five-ways-to-help-grieving-children-cope-with-the-guilt-of-not-being-good-enough

The case that Susan in The Perfect Neighbor claims was the impetus for her looking up “Stand Your Ground” laws in Florida
