Stephen and Joyce Singular join me in the first hour for a discussion of the genre bending documentary Casting JonBenet. Produced by Netflix and directed by Kitty Green, the film employs a novel approach to true crime documentaries: using an open casting call Green interviews Boulder area actors as they prepare for the roles of John and Patsy Ramesy and other major figures in the case, interspersed with some reenactments, and their own theories as to who committed the crime. We begin by discussing our overall feelings of the film and the merits and disappointments of this unique approach.

On today’s show I mostly go solo and talk about some recent updates with the Jeffrey Epstein case. I describe the police video from inside Epstein’s Palm Beach mansion which was recently released to Jose Lambiet of Gossip Extra. I talk about the strange things inside the house including pictures of Epstein with babies, the Pope and Fidel Castro. I discuss some of my ideas as to why Epstein is pictured with babies and toddlers in so many of the pictures.
