  • Ep. 355 – Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club Serves Up “The Bombing of Wall Street”

    Ep. 355 – Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club Serves Up “The Bombing of Wall Street”
    Sep 27 2026
    The final installment in Dark Anniversaries Month opens up the history books to a chapter your hosts have never read before, the 1920 bombing of Wall Street. Christopher and Eric were stunned to discover they knew next to nothing about this searing tragedy and the cauldron of political unrest that ignited it. In post-World War I America, growing discontent over financial inequity turned anarchists into a potent political force and set loose one of the most toxic figures in American politics, J. Edgar Hoover. THE BOMBING OF WALL STREET, an expert documentary from the folks at American Experience, guides us towards the moment bloodthirsty killers parked a horse drawn carriage full of shrapnel and explosives outside the doors of our most powerful financial institutions. And as your hosts look back over the three brutal attacks and dark anniversaries they covered this month, they can’t help but pause to reflect on those who truly suffered as a result of these dark choices, and how pointless and ineffective those choices proved to be when it came to achieving their supposed ends.

    Ep. 354 – Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club Serves Up “Pearl Harbor: Survivors Remember”
    Sep 20 2026
    Dark Anniversaries Month continues as Christopher and Eric travel back in time to a day that will live in infamy, and a horrifying moment that has shocking parallels to a more recent attack on the homeland. They’re serving up PEARL HARBOR: SURVIVORS REMEMBER a moving and amazingly firsthand documentary about the Japanese attack on American naval forces that launched our nation’s involvement in World War II. Left struggling with the question of whether or not attacks of this kind weaken or strengthen their targets over time, we began to see refrains from other such infamous moments of history. And, of course, Eric finds a way to mention Bette Midler.

    Sep 13 2026
    Christopher and Eric begin a month of anniversaries, starting with the dark and moving towards the “light in the darkness”, the publication of a special 50th anniversary edition of Premiere Party Person Anne Rice’s iconic novel INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE. This year also marks the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, an event your hosts lived through and remember all too well, a truly dark anniversary they’ve visited only once before in the course of this podcast’s 300 plus episodes. (Check out Episode 91 for a truly unexpected look at the worst terrorist attack on American soil.) To honor the humanity this day brought forth, they serve up an episode of their old favorite, HOMICIDE NEW YORK, entitled “9/11/2001”, the final installment of the show’s second New York season. This riveting episode chronicles the harrowing personal recollections of members of the NYPD during the attacks on the Twin Towers. Inspired by these intimate accounts of this epic event, we discuss how this historical turning point changed the world as we knew it — and not for the better. Dark Anniversaries Month begins.

After hard science draws a suspect out of the shadows, the prosecutor decides to act without the input of the grieving families, leaving them to decide what justice means when the only answer being given for a senseless crime is “Guilty”.

    Ep. 350 – Christopher & Eric’s True Crime Special Edition Presents “Murder 101”
    Aug 23 2026
    Christopher and Eric are left surprised and more than a little moved by this unconventional series about a group of rural high schoolers in Appalachia who take it upon themselves to find justice for the forgotten victims of a possible serial killer. MURDER 101 isn’t your typical true crime series, and the inspiring educator at its center isn’t your typical teacher. If more took his lead down the road not usually taken, students would all be the better for it. From the Tennessee backwoods to the freeways and truck stops of the American South, your hosts follow this tale into the hearts and minds of an often maligned part of the country to discover new and refreshing territory even as the dark map that led them there unfolds.
