When adapting a novel into a film or TV show, the creative team may add new details or create fictional characters to enhance the story. But, what if the film is based on a real serial killer? What if they cast a conventionally attractive lead actor? In episode 96 of Telepathy, Enzo and Anna dive into true-crime content and the ethics behind this niche. With the rise of true-crime podcasts and serial killer TV shows, they felt it was necessary to discuss the gray area between a fictional drama and a very real, cold-blooded murder. Enzo and Anna also analyze graphic video games, the use of blood & gore for entertainment, and the overall impact of desensitizing violence. Finally, they mention the problematic acts of profiting from traumatic events and the unsettling label of a “crime-junkie.”
