  • Ep. 315 – Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club Serves Up “Homicide For The Holidays: Christmas Carnage In Carnation”
    You failed us, Party People. We begged and we pleaded and we cried for you to bring us a potential true crime Christmastime story that wasn’t another family massacre, and here we are again — and in a tranquil town named for a pretty flower, no less. Ho ho help, it’s time for Christopher and Eric to serve up the second episode ever of HOMICIDE FOR THE HOLIDAYS, entitled “Christmas Carnage In Carnation”. “No one loves Christmas more than sixty-year old Wayne Anderson and his sixty-one-year old wife Judy”… Well, as we all know on HOMICIDE FOR THE HOLIDAYS, that’s their first mistake. What other diabolical events turn this woodsy spread of sheds and trailers into a scene out of a horror movie? On this fateful Christmas Eve night, holy hell is more like it. Get ready for another Crueltide Carol!
  • Ep. 263 – Christopher & Eric’s True TV Crime Club Serves Up “Homicide For The Holidays: Christmas Rampage” vs. “Six Slays of Christmas”
    Christopher and Eric continue All I Want For Christmas Month with a desperate plea for help from you, their beloved Party People. Please find them some holiday themed true crime TV episodes that aren’t hideously nightmare inducing. Your hosts decided to divide up the work this year, delivering dueling Christmastime massacres, one of which may well win the dark distinction of the most disturbing story ever discussed on the podcast. Listen to find out which episode of HOMICIDE FOR THE HOLIDAYS takes the gory prize. Christopher comes bearing episode 5 of season 2 entitled “Christmas Rampage”, and Eric dives down the chimney to avoid the predators on not-so-merry display in episode 2 of season 5, entitled “Six Slays of Christmas”.
  • Ep. 259 — Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club Serves Up “Homicide For The Holidays: Cold Turkey”
    Every holiday season, your hosts Christopher and Eric search high and low for a holiday themed true crime story that goes easy on the bloodshed. A high-speed chase involving a van full of stolen frozen turkeys, perhaps? No such luck again this year. Once again, we were confronted with the same gory buffet of holiday horrors, giving us no choice but to continue a dark – dare we day black — TDPS tradition.  In season 4, episode 7 of the Peacock series HOMICIDE FOR THE HOLIDAYS, entitled “Cold Turkey”, Brent and Charlotte Springford have just returned home after a lovely Thanksgiving dinner with their daughter. Unbeknownst to them, a vicious predator awaits them in the shadows of their luxurious Montgomery, Alabama mansion. Black Friday Month continues with the tale of a gruesome murder that was discovered on Black Friday itself. 
  • Ep. 206 – Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club Serves Up “Homicide For The Holidays: The Last Thanksgiving”
    Heartland Horrors Month continues as Christopher and Eric give the coast-hugging, city dwellers among us several good reasons not to leave their urban idylls. And season 5, episode 1 of HOMICIDE FOR THE HOLIDAYS — never a show for the faint of heart — just might take the cake for most gruesome episode in TDPS history. In “The Last Thanksgiving”, your hosts are confronted by a crime that is shocking in both its grotesqueness and its competent incompetence, leaving them with stunned questions about the motivations at play, motivations that seem to lie just outside the reach of this hour of television they watched with jaws on the floor and sick bags within reach. Happy Thanksgiving it isn’t.  Sorry. Or, you’re welcome.
  • Ep. 202 – Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club Serves Up “Homicide For The Holidays: Halloween Horror”
    Sometimes a host of gory details only serves to distract from the real story. Eric believes that may well be the case with this episode of HOMICIDE FOR THE HOLIDAYS, season 4, episode 1, entitled “Halloween Horror”. When the Liskey family is massacred in their sleep the night before Halloween, their isolated Ohio farmhouse becomes a scene of horrifying mystery. Blood splatter evidence abounds, but what led to this shocking outburst of savage violence against this seemingly happy Oak Harbor family? Was there a deeper and darker secret here this particular hour of television was too timid to lay bare? Brotherly love gone tragically wrong, perhaps? Bring your theories to the table. Eric has his own, as always.
  • Ep.  58 – Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club Serves Up “Homicide For The Holidays: Bloody New Year’s”
    What is it with the holidays and gruesome spree killers? Christopher and Eric return to the true crime series HOMICIDE FOR THE HOLIDAYS and serve up Season 2, Episode 8, “Bloody New Year’s”. When beloved Cindy Luu is murdered in front of her children on New Year’s Eve, it kicks off a shocking crime wave and the Edmonton Police Service are drawn into a breathless hunt for answers. Is it gang violence, racially motivated hate or a twisted form of revenge? The death toll is staggering before the night is through. Secrets, betrayal and broken families are a recipe for disaster year round. But at the holidays, this toxic brew seems especially combustible.

  • Ep.  56 – Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club Serves Up “Homicide For The Holidays: Santa Claus Is Coming To Kill”
    It wouldn’t be the holidays if Christopher and Eric weren’t talking about the hideous antics of a psychopath who destroys everything he touches. And that’s the perfect description of TDPS special correspondent Jordan Ampersand, who makes a surprise appearance to smear his own noxious brand of holiday cheer all over this episode. And then, of course, there’s the real-life psychopath in a Santa suit who turns the Christmas holidays into an excuse to terrorize Southern California in this disturbing installment of Christopher and Eric’s True Crime TV Club, which serves up Season 1, Episode 3 of HOMICIDE FOR THE HOLIDAYS, entitled “Santa Claus Is Coming To Kill”.

  • Ep. 52 – Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club, A Thanksgiving Double Stuffed Special featuring “Homicide for the Holidays: A Deadly Thanksgiving” & “Murder Comes To Town: Who Killed Thanksgiving?”
    Thanksgiving is the bloodiest time of the year. And not just for turkeys. In their first ever double stuffed, special edition of Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club, your hosts bring you not one, but two true crime specials in one. Eric heads to the town of Jupiter, Florida where he serves up a shocking family massacre in  Episode 1 of Season 1 of HOMICIDE FOR THE HOLIDAYS, “A Deadly Thanksgiving”, and Christopher travels to northern Washington State where he serves up a hippie-turned-holy roller’s Thanksgiving torture slaying on Episode 3 of Season 2 of MURDER COMES TO TOWN, “Who Killed Thanksgiving?” Trust us. These families will make you thankful for the one you got. (This episode was recorded remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic, which might explain slight variations in sound quality.)
