Welcome to Black Friday Month, when Christopher and Eric offer discounts on the many shades of black— from the darker side of retail, to the gorier side of gratitude to the glory of giving and receiving. In this installment of Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club, your hosts serve up THE ABERCROMBIE GUYS: THE DARK SIDE OF COOL, in which a brand that exemplified all American masculine perfection became a front for toxically masculine abuse. With the recent arrest of the fashion label’s former CEO Mike Jeffries, this BBC expose on the dark goings on at Jeffries’s isolated Hamptons compound and other private playgrounds seems more relevant than ever. It’s a disturbing tale of what happens when the rich and powerful distort the boundaries between consensual sex work and human trafficking and young queer men are taught that their bodies are the only things they have to offer.
New York Times bestselling novelists Christopher Rice (The Burning Girl Series) and Eric Shaw Quinn (The Write Murder Mysteries) return to their studio on West Hollywood’s Sunset Strip for an all new podcast that’s all talk. Join them for their trademark blend of humor, irreverence and passionate opinion as they dish on some of the most popular true crime TV shows of the moment in their recurring, special feature “Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club”. (A production of TDPS, the same network that brought you the comedy/variety and celebrity interview filled fun of The Dinner Party Show.)
