A Date With Dateline

This week, Keith is lean kinging his way through the worlds of hipster Oregon, low budget horror movies, and, oh my, community theatre. Actually, in honor of this episode, Keith's name has been changed to Keipher (pronounced Kai-pea-hear). Based on Dateline's epic podcast of the same name, this instant classic episode features some of the most over-dramatic, theatrical, and  horrifying  police int...

The events of April 20th, 1999 shaped our nation and altered the American narrative. One of America's deadliest school shootings took place in a small town in Colorado, leaving thirteen dead and another twenty-one severely injured. And it was all broadcast over national tv for the nation to see. The second season of Confronting takes on one of the most prolific tragedies in American history: the C...

When a private investigator and former cop go missing, Keith Morrison is on the case! He's taking us on a wild ride through a maze of drama-filled text messages that for some reason confused the heck out of Kimberly, a war of the roses divorce, and into the actual living hellscape that is an evening simply called "Honesty Night." All that plus Dateline classics like multiple courtroom twists and a...

You might think Natalie Morales was going to slide on into the true crime world of beloved Dateline hosts with a quiet, run of the mill normal murder story. You would be wrong. This episode is WOW, filled with OMG moments and a very diabolical twist. And with every complicated Dateline case Kimberly and Katie have some serious questions. Can Law give us a call? Actually if Order could also call in...

This episode of A Double Date with Dateline is another installment of our new favorite ID Network series BLOOD RELATIVES, and it is drowning in symbolism! Snakes! Mushrooms! Rose petals! The color blue! Shirtless teenagers! A symbolic item from a previous episode! And in the midst of these rampant metaphors is the grizzly Valentines Day murder of Ron, a husband and father who had a fascination wit...

When a woman is found drowned in the bathtub with a completely dry body and only damp hair, it's either a mystery, a murder, or magic, and her husband is the natural suspect for a crime that may or may not have occurred. Dateline's Dennis Disco Murphy is taking us on a wild ride full of twists, three surprise blondes, and a multi-departmental conspiracy (maybe). Get ready for a true mystery that o...

The ID Network's series Blood Relatives returns with another title pun and another symbolic lizard lurking about. But in CLASH OF THE TARTANS we have a whole new slew of mysterious objects pointed to throughout the episode and an X-rated set of circumstances that are clearly going to lead to murder (and Kimberly delighting in Katie squirming in her seat). A mother, sister, husband, fiancé, kind-of...

It's the man, the myth, the pocket square squire - Josh Mankiewicz! He's back for a surprise interview with Kimberly & Katie, who once again try their darndest to not fangirl and fail spectacularly. The conversation topic of the day is Dateline's THE LIFE SHE WANTED, everything from the whispering, the vegetarian defense… and the pillow. Of course, the pillow. There is also dishing about hankies,...

Hi...Hi...Hi... Hey you... Dateline's THE LIFE SHE WANTED should be called The Life WE Wanted because it has given us everything we didn't even have the foresight to put on the bingo cards. It's got Hawaiian Mike, Meek/Dirty Diana, and their love story for the ages. Unfortunately Diana is not Mike's wife... his wife would be Sherri who has gone missing from a Target parking lot. Kimberly and Katie...

Kimberly and Katie have found a new and surprisingly confusing ID Network show to discuss on Double Date! Introducing BLOOD RELATIVES. Every episode title is a word play on murder, the voiceover is done by Brenda Strong, and there's cameos from a mysterious insect or reptile in every scene that the actors don't seem to notice. K & K are discussing the latter along with the sad murder of North Caro...

It's COLLATERAL DAMAGE, which means Dateline is tackling the frightning following on everyone's mind- NXIVM! There's no murder in this Dateline (that we know about), which makes it a bit off brand (!) for them. But it's still got plenty of Datelineisms to enjoy— a scam artist of the highest order, people in denial, and disturbing photos of our perpetrator in an open bathrobe. It's another case of...

Night 1 of this very special DATELINE 3 Part event left Kimberly and Katie with a lot of questions. And with no Josh or Dennis to lay out the case while interjecting special quips or Andrea or Keith to walk the landscape (or lean on the landscape) of the crime's location it's up to all of us to keep up with the machinations of the subject of this story- a man named Tom. Tom has a lot of wives, a l...

Let's get right to LaPoint, this episode is bananas! It has a mysterious illness, a top secret California bunker filled with assassination antidotes, and a runner named... Race.

Natalie Morales joins the Dateline team officially and expertly...

Kimberly and Katie can't get enough of ID Network's BETRAYED series.
