Double Date: Blood Relatives S.6 Ep.1 -Bloody Valentine

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 with woodland fungus. Join Kimberly and Katie as they get dangerously close to creating a red string mu...

The Bathtub Mystery S.19 Ep.1

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 only YOU can solve (by doing an at-home experiment in your bathroom). So dry off, grab some nibbles, ...

Double Date: Blood Relatives S.5 Ep.10 -Clash of the Tartans

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 cousin and a leather clad gentleman who's name is a mystery are all embroiled in some adult activit...

The Life She Wanted S.29 Ep.37

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 have much to discuss including the most cringeworthy interrogation room whispering and stroking of ...

Double Date: Blood Relatives S.5 Ep.3 - Death is in the Heir

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 Carolina stepdad with an affinity for treasure hunts. They have also picked up a potential new hobby alo...

Collateral Damage S.29 Ep.34

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 Him?, but much worse because this time Him? runs a cult. There hasn't been a man inexplicably gettin...

It's a Dateline trip down memory lane where Tom Randolph changes wives almost as much as he changes his significant other.

Why did he think a John Waters mustache was a good look? And most import...

The Widower S.29 Ep.31 - Night 1

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 lot of gall and a LOT of hair. Night 1 revolves around the murder of a sweet unsuspecting Las Vegas g...

THE APOLOGY LINE - New Podcast from Wondery

If you could call a number and say you're sorry, and no one would know…what would you apologize for? For fifteen years, you could call a number in Manhattan and do just that. This is the story of the line, and the man at the other end who became consumed by his own creation. He was known as "Mr. Apology." As thousands of callers flooded the line, confessing to everything from shoplifting to infidelity, drug dealing to murder, Mr. Apology realized he couldn't just listen. He had to do something, ...

10 Minutes to Sunset S.29 Ep.12

It's 10 Minutes to Sunset... A time and a Dateline title which makes appears to make perfect sense and yet seemingly baffles Kimberly and Katie so soon into the new year. What they aren't baffled by is the fact that three different people in three different interrogation rooms telling three very different stories makes for a magical Dateline viewing experience.
