I feel like I’ve watched close to every true crime doc on Netflix.
Looking for recs for docs on true crime, ufos, skinwalkers, folklore, paranormal, etc. anything semi spooky/weird.
I have Netflix, prime, Hulu, peacock, and paramount. Sometimes I’ll get access to hbo if that helps 😂
Recommend away!
*side note: I’ve loved Hellier, the Keepers, Keep Sweet Pray & Obey, the Jinx, Don’t Fuck With Cats, the Phenomenon…stuff like that.

In Episode 159, which is a live show at The Lyric in Baltimore in 2019, Karen sings silly lyrics to Dolly Parton's 9 to 5. I'm using the lyrics as a quote to talk about women's lived experiences as reflected by the pod. Please help me figure out this ONE little section:

[singing] Rolling out of bed and sexually harassed, rolling out of bed, sexually harassed, all day long. [unclear] and sexually harasses me.

What is she saying where I've typed "unclear." The transcripts say, "Dab Nicole" but it could be... "Drive me cold"??? which makes no sense.

Thank you so much for your help :)

I just watched an incredible documentary on Amazon Prime. It’s called Murder 101 and it follows a high school sociology class trying to help solve the “Red Head Murders”/Jerry Johns. These kids & their teacher are incredible. Their tenacity is amazing. I wish everyone could have a Mr. Campbell in their life. It’s framed in such a heartfelt & passionate way that is truly about the fight for justice for the victims.
The kids are so real and so vulnerable with their own lives as well. I just loved every one of them. Highly recommend this to y’all!

I have been a true crime junkie FOREVER and just started MFM in January at episode 1. I fell super in love. Now I’m in late 2024 episodes and I hate the layout. the first change was them hiring researchers and it didn’t feel the same. sometimes it felt like they are just reading a story off of a piece of paper they have never heard of before. still I stuck around but I really hate the two stories one murder one random. I always skip the second story just not my vibe. I love the girls but does it get better or a little more back to normal in 2025 and 2026 or should I just walk away now!?

In June, 1983, the Chuck E. Cheese in Milwaukee got a brand new attraction called "Cheese E Street", although I better knew it as "The Cheese Factory". What was it? Well, it was essentially a funhouse, but… it was a really scary one. It was a 3-story maze, filled with dead-ends, steep ramps, and dark corners. Parents could "observe" their children in the maze through little windows. Apparently, the whole thing was the brainchild of a couple of guys that built an incredible Haunted House.

Personally, that place gave me the creeps. I remember getting trapped in a dark basement area with carpet on the walls; the only way out was a steep ramp. It was really hard to get up that ramp; I don't remember a banister or railing. And, I don't remember how I got out of the maze; I just have scattered memories. The strange corridor / ramp still sometimes comes back to me in dreams and nightmares.

I remember as a kid that there were rumors of a kid that got stuck in there for days; that added to the menace of the Cheese Factory. It's interesting how many people I talk to in Milwaukee remember the Cheese Factory as a strange memory when I bring it up.

Years later, I would go back and… apparently, the Cheese Factory kept its facade, but it turned into a bunch of tubes and slides in a very "open" area. The original Cheese Factory was no more. Perhaps a kid got hurt, and there was a lawsuit. I honestly don't know, and am curious as to what happened.

I'm curious about two things:

1. Does anyone know which location(s) in Milwaukee had the Cheese Factory (Cheese E Street)?
2. If anyone has any pictures of the inside of this thing, I would love to see them; all I have is memories, and I've never found any internal pictures.

I'll share what I've found, for those interested:

Thanks!

Holy cow! What a mess. I haven't been in this area for years, but thankfully it doesn't look like anyone was hurt but lots of businesses were flooded.

Here’s the 4th installment of the Mini CD of random singing on the pod with Karen and Georgia. Enjoy, Murderinos! (Will post YouTube link in the comments for those who don’t partake in TikTok)
