The Murder of JonBenét Ramsey

One of our Cheek Dipple members, Melissa McCarthy, has a very different project coming.

Netflix has announced that The Murder of JonBenet Ramsey will premiere December 10th.

McCarthy will portray Patsy Ramsey alongside Clive Owen as JonBenet Ramsey in the limited series about the still unsolved 1996 murder of six-year-old JonBenet Ramsey.

Emily Mitchell plays JonBenet.

And you've also got a bit of an inside track with Taylor, which you can allude to when we- Okay, sure [laughs] ... just to up, up your street cred, um, as we talk about that.

Plus, we've had the first look at a new Netflix series, um, a new drama that's coming about, about the tragic death of, um, young beauty queen JonBenét Ramsey.

And Melissa McCarthy, who is playing a big role in the series, has given her first interview about it, which has a lot of people divided, so we're going to get into that.

A lot of talk.

But first, some fun, flirty news to kick us off before we get into those two deep stories.

He had definite hot moments.

He's hotter now.

I think the rumor on the street is that they told him to get hotter for the new series, Emily in Paris, 'cause he wasn't as hot previous seasons.

it I am obsessed with that story I've listened to a million podcasts about it I've watched the old doc about it

yeah so basically the series is called The Murder of JonBenet Ramsey and it's going to be on Netflix the 10th of December which is almost 30 years since JonBenet's death so it's going to be like an 8 part scripted drama and the mother is played by Melissa McCarthy oh wow Yeah, and the dad is played by Clive Owen.

I don't actually know him.

And then there's people who are playing her brother and stuff.

Yeah? Okay.

And he said, "As far as the new series is concerned," he said, "When I knew that this was happening as a series, I thought it was the best idea, because I love the films, but with this, they can really explore the books at their fullest.

For a book nerd like me, it's a really great idea."

That's cool.

We've gotten correspondence about talking about Harry Potter and how we shouldn't.

Yeah.

And, you know, that we should s- stop talking about the Audible series and how much I love it.

But look, it's just he w- a- about walking that line about loving the content and not the creator.

But that's from True Crime News.

Did you see the JonBenét Ramsey movie, or maybe it's a series coming out on Netflix? I did not.

I think Melissa McCarthy plays the mom, and it does not look like Melissa McCarthy.

I think whenever a very famous story, a crime story from long ago that they haven't solved comes out and then is in pop culture again, I think it has a better chance to be solved.

Yeah.

And so it's a Netflix limited series, The Murder of JonBenét Ramsey.

Melissa McCarthy as Patsy Ramsey, and then Clive Owen as John Ramsey.

December 10th on Netflix.

Did you guys see this today? I didn't know this was even being worked on.

There is a new JonBenet Ramsey series called The Murder of JonBenet Ramsey.

It's going to be releasing in December on Netflix.

But here's the deal.

And now Paramount is trying to take over Warner Brothers and that's probably going to go through.

And that's, to me, ridiculous.

But production on the series wrapped in early 2025 under the title Unspeakable, The Murder of JonBenet Ramsey.

The intent was to have it be the first installment of an anthology series like Netflix's Monster franchise that Ryan Murphy does.
