Our Editor's Take
The two hosts of the True Crime Guys podcast enjoy talking about infamous murderers. Their conversations don't sensationalize the crimes and relish the bloody details. Instead, Michael and Anthony put down the culprits and make fun of them. These are heinous criminals who committed horrifying acts, so they don't deserve admiration. There's also no reason to be empathetic towards them, even if they did have awful childhoods. That's why the hosts show no mercy when examining their personalities, pasts, and motivations. The result is a hilarious podcast that makes a serious topic more endearing.
The True Crime Guys often discuss cases that made it into global news and the cultural zeitgeist. Episodes talk about killers like Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, and Billy the Kid. These are offenders who received untold media attention. When the hosts examine their crimes, they have a lot of material to work with. They research documentaries, articles, and testimonials to display the entire story. Then, they add their unique flavor of humor combined with sarcasm to help convey the details.
Other episodes of the podcast analyze lesser-known cases. For instance, they explore the account of a man who took his life on a rooftop in New Orleans. In another episode, they talk about three homicides in Fall River, Massachusetts. The belief at the time the police found the bodies was that a Satanic cult had something to do with the murders. In these types of episodes, while the hosts present a lot of research, they also allow themselves to speculate. Since they've talked about murder for years, they have plenty of ideas and expertise to share.
True Crime Guys attempts to provide detailed and accurate information about murders. It also seeks to make itself entertaining and lighthearted. Thanks to the playful chemistry between Michael and Andy, it is able to achieve that.
