DINNER PARTNERS with Christopher & Eric

In this new edition of WHAT'S SCIENCE?, Eric takes a conspiracy-driven trip to the moon that never quite sticks the lunar landing. Or anything else, for that matter. Meanwhile, Christopher tries to keep track of the hundreds of names that have been given to mysterious giants throughout the centuries, and ultimately puts his pen down somewhere around name #342. Welcome to the world of FORBIDDEN MYS...

Christopher and Eric put down their magnifying glasses and pick up their Botox needles so they can get rid of all the furrows in their brows they developed after sitting through these alleged trips into the paranormal.

It's some parents' worst nightmare, and in the early 2000's it was every cable news network's favorite kind of story. A missing young white woman whose disappearance is shrouded in mystery and suspicion. But the Natalee Holloway case took more twists than most. It even made a pit stop for a little retribution. As your hosts serve up Episode 12 from season 3 of VANITY FAIR CONFIDENTIAL, find out wh...

Something tells Christopher and Eric that big summer vacation you had planned for 2020 isn't going to work out.

"Gay panic"! It's not just when Eric finds out he can't watch the Oscars live.

When Eric first came up with the idea for Christopher & Eric's True Crime TV Club, he proposed Wives With Knives as a potential show he and Christopher could break down and serve up for their listeners in steaming hot slices.

It's the trashy true crime sensation that's sweeping the sheltering-at-home nation, and naturally Christopher and Eric have a growling desire to go on and on and on about it.

Was Joe Exotic set up by his own ego or his ter...

Was it drug fueled insanity or a  deep belief in Satan th...
