Ep. - 1726 - BRAVO BREAKDOWN WITH CARLOS KING

Director Erin Lee Carr joins Kate to talk about her Hulu documentary The Swan: Behind the Mirror, along with former contestants Kristy Garza from season one and Kari Bravata from season two. The Swan premiered on Fox in 2004 and promised women a total life makeover: three months of plastic surgery, cosmetic dentistry, therapy, and fitness training. The contestants were isolated from their families, expected to accept what the doctors decided, and barred from looking in a mirror until a dramatic on-camera reveal. Then only one woman from each episode advanced to a beauty pageant to be crowned "The Swan."

Ep. - 1725 - THE SWAN: BEHIND THE MIRROR

Kate discusses Taylor Frankie Paul’s decision to leave Hulu’s The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, the reality series following the women of MomTok as their friendships, marriages, faith and scandals play out both on television and social media. She examines how Taylor became famous, the toxic feedback loop that helped grow her following, and why leaving the show may not be the same as leaving fame. Then Madeline from Peacock’s The Traitors: New Blood joins Kate to discuss her banishment from the competition series, in which a group of players must identify the secret Traitors eliminating contestants from inside the castle. Madeline explains what viewers did not see, the suspicions that shaped the vote and what she now realizes about the game.

Ep. - 1724 - THE SECRET LIVES OF MORMON WIVES MADELINE FROM THE TRAITORS: NEW BLOOD

Allen Salkin, host of the 12-part podcast Gerbil from The Hollywood Reporter, digs into the six-year investigation behind Hollywood's most unkillable urban legend. Allen walks Kate through his old-school reporting process — LexisNexis searches, FOIA requests, tracked-down eyewitnesses — and goes deep on the Philadelphia Gerbil Panic of 1985, when KYW anchor Jerry Penacoli was hit with the same rumor years before it ever attached to Richard Gere.

Ep. - 1722 - WHAT TO WATCH THIS WEEK WITH KATE CASEY

Michael Swerdlick, writer of the beloved 1987 film Can’t Buy Me Love, shares the remarkable story of how his first screenplay went from a typewritten script sitting on a shelf to a defining teen comedy. He reveals how Patrick Dempsey was cast at the last minute, the real-life inspiration behind the story, Paula Abdul’s role in creating the African Anteater Ritual, Michael Jackson’s connection to the film’s title, and what he remembers about the late Amanda Peterson. Michael also reflects on his unconventional Hollywood career, his instinct to root for the underdog, and why the movie continues to resonate nearly four decades later.

Ep. - 1721 - SATURDAY SERIES: MICHAEL SWERDLICK CAN’T BUY ME LOVE SCREENWRITER

Daniel Levin, director of 14 Days in Gainesville, joins Kate to revisit one of the strangest collisions of true crime and sports in American history — the 1990 Gainesville murders and Steve Spurrier's first season as head coach of the Florida Gators. In August 1990, five students were murdered in their off-campus apartments in the span of days, sending a college town into lockdown just as Spurrier arrived to rebuild a struggling football program. Daniel and Kate dig into the fourteen days that terrorized Gainesville, the massive manhunt that followed, and how a football stadium became the place a grieving, frightened community found its way back to something like normal. 

 

Plus, Kate discusses the premiere episode of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and Mary Cosby's return to the show after the loss of her son.

Ep. - 1720 - 14 DAYS IN GAINESVILLE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF SALT LAKE CITY

Director Matthew Galkin and executive producer Josh Levine join Kate to discuss their HBO Original documentary series A Killer Story, which examines the more than two-decade-long case against Dana Chandler, accused in the 2002 shooting deaths of her ex-husband, Mike Sisco, and his girlfriend, Karen Harkness. Galkin and Levine detail how the story found them through investigative journalist Joe Sexton, who was contacted by Kansas homemaker Eileen Umbehr after she and her husband, Keen, spent twenty years and much of their own resources trying to prove Chandler's innocence. The conversation covers the six years spent filming the series, the absence of physical evidence tying Chandler to the crime, the toll of prosecutorial misconduct on the case, and what it means to document true crime obsession from the inside.
