If you’re interested in teenagers, go get therapy! Urban Legends, Real Murders, and the Texarkana Phantom Killer
This week’s podcast episode celebrates the start of Halloween season, with Becky and Merie diving into the Hook Man urban legend’s origin story, which may date back to the unsolved Texarkana Phantom Killer. Along the way, your hosts address the burning questions you didn’t know you had, like:
Which mental institution do YOU want to tour for a college field trip?
Is a pre-facebook advice column responsible for putting an end to lovers’ lanes and its associated “necking?”
Which “Dawson’s Creek” dreamboat is Becky’s boyfriend in this episode? (Hint: It’s not Dawson!)
Is Thor responsible for brutally killing a couple of orderlies in a 1920’s Iowa farm town?
Come for Merie yelling the phrase, “YOU F**KING FLEE!” before Becky can even say the F word once. Stay to find out which recent Netflix movie is an unintentional horror show.
