We are back with Edmund Kemper Part 2! In this episode, his psychology and astrology are discussed. Makenna details the odd Sigmund Freud and his psychoanalytical theory while Cynthia navigates Kemper's chart. It's an episode jam packed with interesting information about the phallic stage, Armie Hammer's disturbing behavior, fun podcast recommendations, and aquarians' alien good looks. *Correction: Edmund Kemper's leo moon is located in the 11th house, not the 10th. His 10th house is in the sign Gemini. Click the link below to read more.

Santa Cruz, what a lovely place to settle down and raise a family. A perfect, quiet town with a local university and access to the beautiful pacific ocean. It sounds like paradise. Not everything is how it seems, though.  The time has come. We've talked about the notorious Edmund Kemper in almost every episode, but we haven't detailed the atrocious nature of his crimes. In the 10th episode, we dive in and discuss in detail what he perceives to be the root of all his murders and murderous desires. Just like the perfect town of Santa Cruz, Kemper is not everything he seems to be. We want to thank everyone for getting us to episode 10!!

THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SENSITIVE TOPICS: The content in this episode may deeply upset or disgust. Topics relating to grave robbing, head shrinking, mutilation to bodies, skinning, and cannibalism is some of the things discussed in this episode. Edward Gein is the definition of evil. His upbringing was the perfect storm for his actions, but something was always a little off within him. In this episode, we dive into his atrocities and along the way, we wish we had never heard his name. Makenna tells us about a band she discovered and Cynthia shares some of her music recommendations, too. Before we jump into Gein's life, we briefly explain the information behind the "rise in serial killers" theory hypothesized by author Peter Vronsky in his book Sons of Cain: a History of Serial Killers From the Stone Age to the Present.
