DINNER PARTNERS with Christopher & Eric

You've met Lestat. Now it's time to meet Sabine, the sure-to-be-iconic vampire heroine of #1 New York Times bestselling author V.E. Schwab's "love letter to Anne Rice", BURY OUR BONES IN THE MIDNIGHT SOIL. Christopher and Eric welcome the beloved dark fantasy author to their latest AnneCast. Not only do they discuss the moving peer tribute she contributed to the documentary film for ANNE RICE, AN...

Christopher and Eric bring Social Media Mayhem Month to a shattering close with this excruciating Netflix documentary about one woman's descent into longing and deception.

A mu...

Social Media Mayhem Month continues with the crime that grabbed national headlines during the COVID pandemic even though it had nothing to do with masking or vaxxing. A frustrated Christopher and Eric serve up all three episodes of the Netflix true crime documentary series AMERICAN MURDER: GABBY PETITO, a show that uses bodycam footage and Gabby’s own YouTubery to dubious result as they retell thi...

Even people who aren't fans of true crime documentaries can't stop talking about this mind blowing true crime documentary. To kick off Social Media Mayhem Month, Christopher and Eric serve up UNKNOWN NUMBER: THE HIGH SCHOOL CATFISH. In this small Michigan town, high school sports are king, Lauryn Licari and Owen McKenny are the adorable couple everyone admires (and envies), and someone is using th...

The countdown to ANNE RICE, AN ALL SAINTS' DAY CELEBRATION continues.

Nostalgia Month continues as Christopher and Eric celebrate crossing the 300 episode mark. To enshrine the occasion, they're serving up another one of their favorite series, VANITY FAIR CONFIDENTIAL, and another trip back in time. In episode four of season three, they head to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1981, where the brutal murder of a devoted cop's (ex) wife sets off an international saga of frame...

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 F...

Welcome to Nostalgia Month! Christopher and Eric celebrate their 300th episode by reminiscing about their favorite episodes past. But don't worry. It's not one of those punch-the-clock clip shows they threw together just to fill time. Those will come later in the year, when the jaw aches from all their yammering set in. They're also diving into another episode of THE PLAYBOY MURDERS, specifically...

As excitement for ANNE RICE, AN ALL SAINTS' DAY CELEBRATION builds, we bring you another passionate, emotional look inside Anne's legacy, this time with a special visit from a beloved, #1 New York Times bestselling author whose filmed tribute to Anne will be included in the event's documentary films. Leigh Bardugo cast a spell over the world of young adult fiction with her mega-bestselling Grishav...

Back To Fools months gets political, maybe more political than the podcast has ever gotten, as your hosts serve up the toxic formula of how the Wild West of Internet message boards led to one of the most disgraceful and chaotic events in United States political history. In the Netflix documentary THE ANTISOCIAL NETWORK: MEMES TO MAYHEM, Christopher and Eric travel from LOLz, to social justice acti...

Meet the Heenes. The father is an inventor whose process includes shouting abuse at his wife and son. The mother forgets the meaning of words like hoax when she's accused of perpetuating one. And the children tend to supply well shot, wide angle video coverage of some of their family's worst moments. Our family hour installment of Back To Fools Month takes to the skies over Colorado with TRAINWREC...

Back To Fools Month begins with the most dangerous type — a murderously irresponsible and privileged fool. Like so many of you, Christopher and Eric were riveted by this tale of hubris and catastrophe when it first broke across the world stage. The Titan submersible sounded like it could barely survive a dip in a duck pond. How could so many supposedly intelligent people send this glorified tin ca...

The excitement is building for ANNE RICE, AN ALL SAINTS' DAY CELEBRATION, your hosts lavish tribute to the life and legacy of our dearly departed Premiere Party Person, Anne Rice. This is the first in a special series of episodes leading up to the event's debut on November 1st in New Orleans. Here Christopher and Eric guide you through their vision for the show, the many ways in which we'll pay tr...

Look, Christopher and Eric love DATELINE as much as the next true crime junkie. But sometimes the show's rush to get an episode on the air can lead to a rush to judgment. That's their concern with a recent episode entitled "Siren Song", the seventieth episode of their thirtieth – that's right, thirtieth! – season. TV show detectives love to say it's always, always, always the husband. Or boyfriend...

Last Resorts Month continues as Christopher and Eric set sail on the fiery seas of hell, otherwise known as the stormy waters off New Jersey during the Great Depression. The horrifying story of the SS Morro Castle was in danger of being lost to history until the popular YouTube Channel, Oceanliner Designs, worked overtime to salvage this dark tale from the forgotten depths. In this offbeat, but ex...

As summer swelters, your hosts Christopher and Eric are determined to get in their last bit of beach time — inside in the frosty air conditioning watching bad things happen to those who spend too much time on the beach. Welcome to the first episode of Last Resorts Month, in which a new travel-themed true crime series called FATAL DESTINATION takes us south of the border for some bad real estate de...

It's rare that one finds a documentary in which all the interview subjects direct the same level of venom and disdain at the same target with quite this much elegance and skill, but the BBC special EDWARD VIII: TRAITOR KING is one of them, and Christopher and Eric delight in every barbed sentence. Summer of Scandal concludes with a grand promenade into the world of royal families — and their schem...

Summer of Scandal jitterbugs into the dangerous dance of politics with FALL TO GRACE, a so-called documentary that could use a lot more skip in its step. Remember when a politician coming out of the closet seemed like a seismic news event? In comparison to today's political climate, the story of New Jersey governor Jim McGreevey seems almost quaint. And that's why your hosts spend the first part o...

The hacking scandal at infamous media baron Rupert Murdoch's News of the World was one of the biggest stories of the early 2000's. Naturally, it resulted in complete destruction of everyone responsible, including one of the biggest right wing — Oh, wait. As Summer of Scandal surfs its way into the world of media, Christopher and Eric serve up two episodes of the BBC series THE RISE OF THE MURDOCH...

Grab your beach bag, Party People! (And the phone number for your best lawyer friend!) It's time for a Summer of Scandal. For the kick off, Christopher and Eric hop in a brand new Pierce-Arrow with Fatty Arbuckle, one of 1921's biggest silent film stars, and head up the California coast for said star's date with personal ruin. But did the highest paid actor in the world at that time do anything wr...

Christopher and Eric round out All About Representation Month by asking you, our beloved Party People, about the queer people who have made the biggest impact in your life. Some of you went with ancient emperors, other chose lovers past and present. The result is a lively, warmhearted discussion of mentorship, community and friendship that ends our Pride Season celebration on an uplifting note. (N...

All About Representation Month takes a a hard light turn as Christopher and Eric navigate the recent history of gay representation in the world of sitcoms. Remember Blanche's gay brother on an early episode of THE GOLDEN GIRLS? How about a young “president” Tony Goldwyn's heartrending turn as a terminal AIDS patient who asked the designers of DESIGNING WOMEN to create his funeral? How do they comp...

Meet Herb Baumeister. Successful businessman. Noted introvert. Lover of rotting food. And possible serial killer. As All About Representation Month continues, Christopher and Eric serve up the final two episodes of THE FOX HOLLOW MURDERS: PLAYGROUND OF A SERIAL KILLER, spotlighting the crusading Indiana coroners working to identify the forgotten gay victims of a staggeringly prolific serial killer...

This year, Pride Season at TDPS is all about visibility, inclusion and respect for LGBT people, three things of which our current political climate is in desperately short supply. Welcome to All About Representation Month, beginning with a supersized True Crime TV Club that's about bringing long overdue justice to the forgotten gay victims of a vicious and prolific serial killer. When queer men st...

To atone for forcing Eric to endure three full episodes focused on one of reality television's most awful shows, Christopher wraps up Sin City Month by taking us down the rabbit hole of Las Vegas history, including the city's connection to the gay scion of a notorious Gilded Age copper baron. Then it's time to discuss the concept of sin itself with you, our beloved Party People. "What is the deadl...
