    Death on the Set of the Twilight Zone Movie
    Nov 11 2025

    When a helicopter crash killed actor Vic Morrow and two children on the set of Twilight Zone: The Movie, the filmmakers called it an unforeseeable accident. An LA County Sheriff’s detective saw something else: broken laws, reckless risks, and an A-list director who ignored warnings.

    When 21-year old college dropout Christopher Boyce got a job as a clerk at the TRW Defense and Space Systems complex in Redondo Beach, he was given access to some of the country’s biggest government secrets. And under a Robin Hood-like ethos, he and his childhood pal Andrew Daulton Lee began sharing those secrets with the Soviet Union.

This is an amazing podcast to listen to! The narrator is spectacular and has an incredible voice. His writing skills are fantastic making it so easy to listen. The fact that these are real makes it so exciting. My only complaint is he doesn’t have enough stories for me to hear to and I do a lot of driving. Really not a complaint, just love hearing his stories, crimes and podcast!! Keep them coming.

Best real podcast around

it is unfortunate that John has done what he has done even with all these people trying to help him and support him in any way they can and he had a wife who loved him dearly. Terra deserved better, thank God she got away from that situation with John, every chapter gets interesting more and more to the point you don't want to stop listening I am going to watch the show on Netflix of dirty John now. I've always thought books are better than movies or shows but after I read the books I like to see the movies.

I loved this!

this was a tough one. to get through and not because of the subject matter. Maybe it's the 'salt remix' that is the problem? The storytelling was SO unnecessarily drawn out, parts of the story were repeated multiple times throughout multiple episodes, and there were WAY too many low-quality audio recordings. and phone calls played. It just did not need to be that excruciatingly detailed, there were SO many unnecessary details. We did not need to listen to every word of multiple-page letters, emails, and dialogue in order to fully grasp that this guy was evil.

And the story bothers me. I'm not one to victim-shame or judge a victim, but the storytelling made Deb sound just absolutely incapable of making good decisions. They also made the youngest daughter sound like a soft-spoken airhead who couldn't think about anything other than the walking dead and zombies. It completely took away from the things they went through. If I were this family I'd have been so angry being portrayed this way. This doesn't send the message that "this can happen to anyone." this sends the message that "this can happen if you're so gullible and vulnerable that you can't recognize GLARING red flags."


Very disappointing.


maybe it was the remix?
