- Ep. 314 – Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club Serves Up “A Crime To Remember: Coffin For Christmas”
Welcome to Crueltide Carols! Tick, tock. Tick, tock. No, it’s not the sound of time running out as you rush to get your holiday shopping done. An altogether different race against the clock drives this episode of one of Christopher and Eric’s favorite True Crime TV Club offerings, A CRIME TO REMEMBER. In season 5, episode 4, entitled “Coffin For Christmas”, we travel to the humid deep South in the 1960’s for a tale of twisted love and devious kidnappings at holiday time. Every now and then, your hosts run across a case that seems to have inspired countless movies and episodes of scripted television, and this one fits the bill. On the Twelfth Day of Christmas, we hope this victim gets the freedom (and the oxygen) she desperately needs.
- Ep. 301 – Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club Serves Up “A CRIME TO REMEMBER: Such A Pretty Face”
It’s widely acknowledged that art and madness often go hand in hand. Blend in some incompetent police work and you’ve got a crime they’ll still be talking about in the next century. We sure are. Nostalgia Month continues as Christopher and Eric celebrate crossing 300 episodes. A CRIME TO REMEMBER has always been one their favorite series, and episode three of season four, entitled “Such A Pretty Face” is both riveting and surprising. Travel back in time to depression era America, where modeling was a disgraceful profession, strange men renting your spare bedroom was a regular occurrence, and the police felt free to beat the crap out of you until you confessed to whatever crime they were investigating at the time. You know, the good old days when things were still apparently so great.
- Ep. 140 – Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club Serves Up “A Crime To Remember: Guess Who?”
With its period costumes and not-always-terrible reenactors, the Discovery Channel series A CRIME TO REMEMBER is a TDPS favorite, but episode 6 of season 4, entitled “Guess Who?” left Christopher and Eric scratching their heads and checking the rafters. This story of marital murder in 1922 Los Angeles at first seems pretty cut and dried….until you look up. As the twists and turns unfold, Eric focuses his magnifying glass on the most important question of all — how stupid were the cops assigned to this case?
- Ep. 59 – Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club Serves Up “A Crime To Remember: 38 Witnesses” and “People Magazine Investigates: Without A Trace”
In this emotional edition of Christopher and Eric’s True Crime TV Club, your hosts serve up the first true crime stories that disturbed them when they were young. For Eric, it’s the murder of Kitty Genovese, a notorious tale of alleged urban apathy that smeared an entire city. But is anything you’ve heard about it actually true? Eric was stunned by the revelations within A CRIME TO REMEMBER, Season 2, Episode 1, entitled “38 Witnesses”. For Christopher, it’s the disappearance of 10-year-old Kevin Collins from a San Francisco street corner in 1984, as documented in PEOPLE MAGAZINE INVESTIGATES, Season 4, Episode 3. It’s a tragically unsolved case, but years later, the person responsible may be within sight.

- Ep. 44 – Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club Serves Up “A Crime To Remember: Candyland”
Join Christopher and Eric on this trip back through the years to a simpler time when married male business owners chose to live with their much younger, handsome male employees in cramped apartments just because they wanted to save on rent. (Yeah, sure, dudes.) A more peaceful time when sleeping with your relatives was as simple as having a little cosmetic surgery, and Chevrolets were considered cool. This installment of True Crime TV Club, in which Christopher and Eric serve up Season 2, Episode 3 of A CRIME TO REMEMBER, entitled “Candyland”, offers up more bitter marital acrimony than bonbons, and a murder mystery to choke on. Be warned. The only thing sweet about Candy Mosler — the Houston socialite at the center of this jaw-dropping story — is her name.

This is definitely a crime to remember. (If this episode sounds different from our others, that’s because it was recorded remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic.
