ADULTERY, MANIPULATION, AND MURDER, RIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES AND SLATHERED ACROSS YOUR TELEVISION SCREEN!!

In the early days of mainstream cable, on the cusp of the Menendez Brothers and O.J. Simpson trials, the big three American networks struck gold with sensationalistic docudramas – several of which were based on the true crimes of notorious women. Join Gabe and returning guest Kristine Fisher as they take a look at three famous crimes and five made-for-TV movies based on them.

The films we’re covering this month include Joyce Chopra’s Murder in New Hampshire: The Pamela Wojas Smart Story (1991), Dick Lowry’s A Woman Scorned: The Betty Broderick Story (1992) and its sequel, Her Final Fury: Betty Broderick, the Last Chapter (1992), and two Amy Fisher movies, John Herzfeld’s Casualties of Love: The Long Island Lolita Story (1993) and Andy Tennant’s The Amy Fisher Story (1993).

I apologize that Kristine’s mic picked up everything from her typing her notes, to the traffic outside, and even my own voice, creating a reverb effect. I didn’t notice while we were recording and have tried to minimize the issue in editing.
