Most of the Podcats made it to the mic this week to tackle a documentary with quite possibly the longest title we've ever attempted to pronounce after two cocktails. This is also a part of our new twist - PodCats After Dark. Which means we get pretty raunchy and the content is absolutely unsuitable for anyone under 18. Put on your headphones kitties.

In short: A Deadly American Marriage covers the shocking case of Jason Corbett, an Irish businessman living in North Carolina with his wife, Molly Martens. On August 2, 2015, Jason was found brutally bludgeoned to death in their bedroom. Molly and her father—oh, just a former FBI agent named Tom Martens—fully admitted to the killing… but claimed it was all in self-defense.

The documentary tries to walk a line between the two sides of the story—but let’s be honest, none of us bought what Molly was selling.

We may have leaned a little harder on the cocktails than the crime-solving this week, but you’ll still get most of the key details, a lot of laughs, and—somehow—a spontaneous lesson on squirting from one of the kitties. You’re welcome.

This episode gets a unanimous 6 out of 6 🐾🐾🐾—we showed up, we poured up, and we definitely judged Molly Martens the whole way through.

Jess and Traci are here with a couple of guests to discuss the three-part documentary This is the Zodiac Speaking, streaming on Netflix. But they all pre-gamed WAY too much so this is more like a Bad Moms podcast with hear less lots of inappropriate conversation. We caution you to keep your children out of the car when you listen to this episode. Truely, we were hammered.

If you haven't seen this yet, the documentary explores the enduring mystery of the Zodiac killer, who terrorized the Bay Area in the late 1960s. Despite being linked to at least five murders, the Zodiac was never caught. Police identified Arthur Leigh Allen as a prime suspect, but he was never charged. Allen passed away in 1992, leaving the case unsolved—but this docuseries reexamines his potential guilt through shocking new revelations from those who knew him personally.

T-Bone and Ivy - thanks for joining us on this episode!

Episode 2 of Season 6 is dedicated to the amazing James Bond - RIP our furry friend 🐈

This episode hosts just a couple of kitties - Jess and her guest T Bone. We do have to warn you that the kitties were sipping cocktails for HOURS before they got to Chowchilla so words are slurred and there is some confusion. But we did manage to get most of the story out. If none of what we said made sense, here is what the doc was all about:

CNN Films and Max covered what was truly one of the weirdest mass kidnappings in history—the Chowchilla school bus abduction. This documentary featured exclusive interviews from survivors which is what really made it amazing!

Here’s what happened: On July 15, 1976, three masked men hijacked a school bus in Chowchilla, California. They kidnapped the driver and 26 kids, stuffed them into soundproof vans, and took them to a remote quarry, where they were buried alive in an underground chamber. With barely any food or water, air running out, and the roof caving in, one brave child led a daring escape.

When the kidnappers were caught, their identities shocked everyone even more. This chilling event left deep scars on the survivors, who spent decades trying to rebuild their lives.

The doc was directed by Paul Solet.

The kitties gave Chowchilla 3 1/2 out of 4 paws 🌟🌟🌟 1/2 🐾

Just watch it yal

Welcome to Season 6!

Traci and Jess sip expresso martinis and discuss the insanity of Ms. Elisabeth Finch as depicted in the documentary "Anatomy of Lies"......currently airing on Peacock.

We are captivated by scammer and grifter stories, as are most of us who don’t fabricate fake identities or take other peoples stories as our own. These tales offer a safe, vicarious thrill—an intriguing glimpse into lives seemingly unbound by the usual rules of right and wrong. (Plus, let’s admit it, some of these scammers have an undeniable flair for style!)

This documentary details one of the most compelling grifter sagas we can recall. Like ever. It details the story of Elisabeth Finch, the former Grey’s Anatomy writer who fabricated not only a cancer diagnosis but also a string of other personal tragedies. You need to watch this documentary to fully absorb how fully she devoted herself to the lies and the cover ups for the lies because it truly defies anything you have ever heard about before.

The PodCats had a surprise Tom Cat appearance halfway through this episode but we are not sure how much he contributed to the recap.

The PodCats gave this 4 out of 6 paws but in all fairness - Traci hadn't seen the last two episodes so we really suggest taking the time to watch this crazy doc! 👏🏼

Traci and Jess made pineapple mimosas to pregame for this one! You will never drink them with OJ again once you try pineapple 🍍😋🍹

We were able to really get into a good convo about this wild documentary without the distractions of our missing PodCats but we totally missed those wild pussycats.

BTW - This was a recommendation of Traci's and it was SO GOOD! Here is the gist - thirty-six years after placing her baby girl for adoption, a woman discovered that the child had been missing for 21 years. How insane is that? This isn’t the plot of a mystery novel or a fictional movie—it’s the real story that was told on the Netflix doc released in September of 2024.

This is a two-part series that chronicles Cathy Terkanian’s determined search for her daughter, Aundria Bowman. Though she didn’t raise her, Terkanian’s maternal instincts shine through as she bonds with Aundria’s friends and teams up with online investigators to unravel the case. As Terkanian powerfully states, "I saw the fire, and I walked right in it." And man she had a few great quotes. This mama is a bad ass!!

The PodCats gave this 8 out of 4 paws 👏🏼 so check it out and then listen in and see if we felt the same as you!

Jess, Traci and Madison are all in the house discussing this insightful documentary that we ALL loved! The cocktails were flowing so the kitties got off track from time to time but you will get the gist of it.

Stormy premiered on Peacock March 18, 2024. We all found Stormy Daniels to be a complex, deeply compassionate women and her story is that of a widely misunderstood individual. This goes into her childhood, her days as an adult contract star and then bridges into her worldwide infamy after the Trump story broke.

There are tons of interviews with prominent figures who worked with or covered her story, such as Rachel Maddow, Jimmy Kimmel, and Seth Rogen. Included is the archival footage from a documentary film shot by Dallas Nicks who later had a romantic relationship with Daniels.

It all boils down to how a single sexual encounter with the then-reality TV star has virtually destroyed Daniels’ life, which deeply caused havoc on her family, her relationships, and her career.

There was a lot of cocktails when this was recorded, so bear with us and enjoy the party!

The PodCats gave this documentary 12 out of 6 paws 👏🏼 so you should probably get on it if you haven't seen it yet!

The PodCats are mostly all in the pod today with the exception of Traci who missed all of the chaos. Our friend Ivy joined us from Canada and we had a Tom Cat in the house!! Thanks for having some fun with us Ivy & Justin!

"Love Has Won: The Cult of Mother God" is a documentary that explores the life and death of Amy Carlson, also known as Mother God. She claimed to be a spiritual savior and built a cult following through her online manifestos and live-streaming sessions.

Unfortunately, we had too many cocktails and got sidetracked more than usual on this one. We had a call in from one of the PodKittens and many, many other distractions. Hopefully you will jump in and enjoy our party.

Stay tuned for the bonus at the very end when Madison takes a call in the middle of our podcast.

The PodCats gave this documentary 9 1/2 out of 10 paws 👏🏼 so you should probably watch it‼️
