Killer Fun Crime and Entertainment

Comedy

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. We don’t LIKE crime, but we are fascinated by it. Christy is a super-sleuth when it comes to internet research and Jackie has a Master's degree in Psychology from Harvard.

Just a Little Trim - Lorena

9/8/2022
Abused spouse or vindictive, unsatisfied lover? We learn so much more than just the media hype - though there is a ton to talk about there as well - of one of the most infamous couples of the 1990’s: John and Lorena Bobbitt. The 2019 doc - Lorena - is full of details and interviews that shed a new light on a familiar story. We don’t use objectionable language, but we do talk about sexual abuse and use the anatomically correct verbage for mail genital frequently in this episode. Listener discretion is advised. If you are in an abusive situation, please get help. The National Domestic Violence Hotline can be reached at 1-800-799-7233, by texting “START” to 88788, or with a live chat at thehotline.org.
