Matt and Jordan review Netflix's massive true crime tabloid horror hit, *The Crash*, a direct-to-streaming look at the tragic Mackenzie Sherilla case. Jordan walks away feeling like he needs a shower for his soul, while Matt thanks his lucky stars that social media didn't exist when he was a youngster. For Rec Seg, Matt challenges the "drek" of the true crime genre by recommending an Oscar-nominated Netflix doc and Jordan counters with a 2018 indie drama that offers a nuanced take on the endless scroll. Listener requests yield recommendations for a 1945 "hardcore British" romance and 2012 Sundance indie featuring an ex-con who hangs out with a robot. Finally, Producer Sam steps in to host a true crime-inspired game called *If You Can't Do the Time, Don't Watch the True Crime (on Amazon Prime)*. Plus, dabbing, dad jokes, and brief thoughts on box office phenomenons *Backrooms* and *Obsession*, and *Masters of the Universe*.
