Sydney Battle isn’t your average true crime fan. Listen to find out how Sydney was “trained like an assassin” — which makes her TV taste a little different than your typical true crime-obsessed sleuth. Ashley and Sydney dive into the world of Investigation Discovery, “Evil Lives Here,” and why some true crime shows are worth it while others are a hard pass.

But it’s not all murder and mayhem — they also recap the messy Love Island reunion, debate reality TV strategy like it’s Big Brother, and unpack the wildest shows currently on their watchlists (from 90 Day Fiancé to Upload to Mean Girl Murders set in a cookie factory).

Come for the FBI backstory, stay for the reality TV chaos.
