What happens when a man with a fear of commitment falls for a woman who just might be a serial killer? In this episode, we're sharpening our legal analysis on the 1993 Mike Myers cult classic, So I Married an Axe Murderer, and uncovering the surprisingly morbid estate planning lessons hiding in this goofy rom-com.

Beneath the slapstick humor and quotable one-liners, we explore the serious financial and legal loose ends left behind when someone dies unexpectedly. We discuss the importance of having your affairs in order, especially when your new spouse has a string of mysteriously deceased ex-husbands. Join us as we dissect how inheritance, probate, and even the role of an obituary writer play into the film's chaotic plot, proving that even the most unserious movies have serious legacy lessons.

Here are a few moments we cover:
