Another Day, Another Dahmer: Hollywood's Glorification of Serial Killers | Minisode w/ Maegan

Send us a text

In this minisode, join Maegan as she digs into the glorification of serial killers, the evolutionary psychology of morbid curiosity, human’s predator-prey relationship, some of the racial implications of true crime, and reasons why true crime as entertainment is fairly problematic.

Some content warnings to be mindful of are obviously discussions of murder and serial killers, but also child murder specifically, sexual assault, and racism.

The Clever Ghouls podcast, hosted by Maegan and Blair, is a show dedicated to watching, analyzing, and discussing the movies that make us think about them long after we’ve left the theater or turned off the TV. We bring quick wit and unique perspectives from backgrounds like art history, cinematography, psychology, analysis, public education, mysticism, mythos, and more to create a curated, inclusive conversation around the spooky movies we love. Tune in on your favorite podcast hosting platform to listen along, join the conversation, and chime in with your own observations!

Our intro and outro music was created for us by Josh Marshall. For more episodes and other spooky content, find us on your favorite social media platform through our handle: @CleverGhouls.
