backslash Kate

3:24

Casey. Okay, first thing

3:26

I want you to watch this week

3:28

is perfect if you love all

3:30

things true crime. Amazon Prime Video is

3:32

launching a documentary film specially titled

3:34

The Murder of Joanna Yates

3:36

on April 22nd. This documentary explores

3:38

the 2010 case of Joanna

3:40

Yates who was found murdered

3:42

in Bristol after going missing

3:44

and the ensuing media frenzy

3:46

that wrongly implicated her landlord, Christopher

3:49

Jeffries. The case is a

3:51

stark example of how media coverage can

3:54

go wrong, which leads to an innocent

3:56

man being accused and vilified. A

3:58

Dutch national also living in the building was

4:00

later convicted of the murder. So

4:03

Joanna was

4:05

quite young. She was a landscape

4:07

architect from Hampshire, England. She

4:09

goes missing from the flat that she

4:11

shared with her partner on December 17th

4:13

of 2010. And that was

4:15

after an evening with colleagues. So

4:18

following the highly publicized appeal for

4:20

information on her whereabouts and an

4:22

intensive police inquiry, her body was

4:24

discovered on Christmas Day, December

4:26

of 2010, in the nearby

4:28

village in North Somerset. A

4:30

post -mortem examination determined that she'd

4:33

been strangled. So the murder

4:35

inquiry was one of the largest police

4:37

investigations ever undertaken in the Bristol area. And

4:40

the case, as mentioned, dominated news

4:42

coverage in the UK around that Christmas

4:44

period because the family was

4:46

seeking any assistance from the

4:48

public through social networking services

4:50

and press conferences. The rewards

4:52

kept adding up, they

4:54

added that they were looking for information leading

4:56

to those responsible for her death. And

4:58

as mentioned, the police initially

5:00

suspected and arrested Christopher Jeffries, her

5:03

landlord. He lived in another

5:05

flat in the same building, but of course

5:07

he was subsequently released without charge, vilified

5:09

by the press. So

5:11

it is called The Murder

5:13

of Joanna Yates, April 22nd on

5:16

Amazon Prime Video. Paramount

5:18

Plus has a documentary film It's

5:21

going to be tough to watch,

5:23

but an important one to watch. It

5:25

is called the Children of October 7th. Israeli

5:27

children were among the most vulnerable

5:29

victims impacted by the Hamas attacks. The

5:32

numbers are staggering. Of the

5:34

estimated 1 ,200 Israeli

5:36

murdered, 37 were children. Of

5:39

those who survived, over 100

5:41

children lost one parent. Over

5:43

20 lost both parents. and

5:46

more than 35 were kidnapped to Gaza.

5:48

Hundreds of children were injured and

5:50

thousands were displaced from their homes. So

5:53

this documentary features deeply sensitive

5:55

conversations between Montana Tucker, who

5:57

you've probably seen on social

5:59

media, and these children

6:01

who bravely share their experiences

6:04

of trauma and survival as they

6:06

continue to process the unthinkable, being

6:08

held captive, witnessing the death of their

6:10

parents, and enduring violent invasions

6:12

of their homes. Alongside

6:14

her support, the children present

6:17

a poignant and heartfelt depiction of

6:19

their terrifying experiences. So

6:21

you can watch that on Paramount

6:23

Plus on April 23rd. It is called

6:25

The Children of October

6:27

7th. If you're looking

6:29

for something that's more in the

6:32

sports category, watch out for

6:34

Race for the Crown on Netflix. This

6:36

airs April 22nd. This is an

6:38

inside look at the high stakes quest

6:40

to win across the prestigious triple

6:42

crown circuit. I find this world to

6:45

be very fascinating. In fact, I

6:47

have a friend who works in this

6:49

space. I should ask her to

6:51

come on. I think that

6:53

the people that attend these

6:55

events, the inner workings of the

6:57

business is endlessly fascinating. So

7:00

Netflix is so good at this

7:02

stuff. They find a sport that I

7:04

think may not be completely mainstream

7:06

and figures out a way to

7:08

tell the best personal stories. They

7:10

find the best people And

7:12

it's really incredible what they

7:14

do because suddenly the sport that

7:16

may not be mainstream is

7:18

the center point of discussions in

7:21

homes across the world. And next

7:23

thing you know, a lot of

7:25

the people that are athletes in

7:27

that sport are household names. So

7:29

Race for the Crown, Netflix, April

7:31

22nd. I'm really excited for this one

7:33

as well. Also on

7:36

Netflix, A lot of you have watched the

7:38

different reality shows, so you're going to be

7:40

familiar with some of the cast members on

7:42

this one. This show is called

7:44

Battle Camp. It's on Wednesday, April

7:46

23rd. So reality stars from

7:48

Netflix return to face the

7:50

ultimate physical and mental competition where

7:52

a giant spinning wheel randomly

7:54

decides who stays and who goes. So

7:57

think about it as like Netflix's

7:59

version of like the challenge. The

8:01

show features stars from Love is

8:03

Blind. The Ultimatum Perfect

8:05

Match and Selling Me OC, among

8:07

others, included in this cast is

8:09

my friend Polly from Selling Me

8:12

OC. Super excited to watch this

8:14

one as well. I think I saw Gio too.

8:16

I watched the first episode, you get sucked

8:18

in. Such a fun kind of relaxing

8:21

show when you're looking for something that's not

8:23

as heavy. I mean, I think you

8:25

got to watch a range of things, right?

8:28

So if you're looking for the

8:30

category of like... Fun to watch.

8:32

I don't necessarily have to watch

8:34

every frame of it. I can

8:36

do things in the room endlessly

8:38

entertained We'll recognize some of the

8:40

people if I don't recognize them

8:43

I'm gonna come to know them

8:45

in a better way or like

8:47

them That's right up your alley.

8:49

So battle camp starts on Wednesday,

8:51

April 23rd Mysteries of the abandoned

8:53

hidden America discovery channel April 23rd.

8:55

This one's great for kids abandoned

8:58

structures, forgotten ruins, and monuments to

9:00

a bygone era. This is one of

9:02

those shows where you can watch

9:04

with your kids and then they're looking

9:06

stuff up. And I like it

9:08

too because they can go back and

9:10

have conversations with their friends about

9:12

it. It's great for them to open

9:14

a conversation with other adults, like

9:16

their teachers, maybe their coaches, maybe a

9:18

neighbor, maybe a grandparent. mysteries of

9:20

the abandoned hidden America Discovery Channel. Sometimes

9:23

I find that if you look

9:25

up some of these titles and just

9:27

do it like where to watch,

9:29

you may have a streaming app that

9:31

you're not even paying much attention

9:33

to that may feature some of these

9:35

shows as well. And also

9:37

your cell phone carriers often

9:39

carry deals when you add

9:41

a phone or maybe you

9:44

renew your contract or get

9:46

a new phone. So check

9:48

out that as well. And

9:50

sometimes even your direct TV,

9:52

they may have something too

9:54

like a bundle. So check

9:56

that out. Looking

12:09

you liked Vanderpump Villa season

12:11

one, I thought it was okay.

12:13

Like there were some people

12:16

I enjoyed. The concept

12:18

is this. Lisa Vanderpump has

12:20

this chateau that she sort of

12:22

rents for filming, obviously. And

12:25

you get a bunch of servers. I

12:27

found that the first season it was a

12:29

lot of people that worked in Vegas

12:31

or Miami and say to them, hey, listen,

12:33

we're going to film a show. It's

12:35

going to be like five weeks. Feel free

12:37

to be bonkers if you want to.

12:39

And we're going to get some guests that

12:41

come and stay. And then we're

12:43

going to film you and let's see what happens. I'm

12:46

excited for this one because they've

12:48

added the element of Stacey Schroeder.

12:50

And I think it could elevate

12:52

the show quite a bit. So

12:54

I know that my friends Heather,

12:56

McDonald, and Zach Peters went over

12:59

to watch the premiere and they

13:01

were excited about the event. So

13:03

I think it's one to put

13:05

on the list. So Vanderpump Villa,

13:07

it's on Hulu, which is great

13:09

too because. A lot of

13:11

the shows that I recommend like two weeks

13:13

ago, three weeks ago on ID Discovery or

13:15

Max will pop up on Hulu too. So

13:17

like Hollywood demons, I'm sure will pop up

13:19

on Hulu. So you could watch Vanderpump Villa

13:21

and then switch over and watch some of

13:23

the other stuff that is coming from other

13:25

streaming networks. Then

13:27

you want to watch

13:29

Love Hotel on Bravo. Now,

13:32

I have a backstory on the show,

13:34

but you got to go to my

13:36

Patreon to hear all about it. Let's

13:38

just say I know a lot about

13:40

this show. So Love Hotel is on

13:42

Bravo April 27th. They took four housewives

13:44

and asked them to pack their bags

13:46

and they had to paradise in a

13:48

brand new series that gives these single

13:50

women a chance to find their perfect

13:52

match. Now, we know

13:54

that some of them are on

13:56

the prowl. They're tigers in the

13:58

night. So in this show, we've

14:00

got Luanne Gisselle, Ashley

14:02

Darby, and Shannon Badour. And they're

14:05

gonna meet some fellas, they're gonna

14:07

be on... in a tropical situation. And

14:10

I'm sure that hilarity will ensue. So

14:12

that one is called Love Hotel on Bravo,

14:14

April 27th. So it'll be Sundays, every

14:16

Sunday at nine. Speaking of

14:18

Sundays, Sister Wives, you know, the Brown

14:20

family, they've come back for some more episodes.

14:23

This premieres April 20th on TLC. So

14:25

the previous Sunday, so I'm giving you

14:27

Sunday to Sunday. So this one begins

14:29

with much change over the past few

14:31

years and all of the Browns are

14:33

facing new pathways forward. So you've got

14:35

Mary, She's taken a recent decision to

14:37

leave Cody one step further by appealing

14:39

to their former church for the official

14:41

release, which is their version of a

14:44

divorce. Janelle doesn't need a

14:46

divorce, and it's just kind of moving on,

14:48

which for her means moving away from Flagstaff, Arizona,

14:50

and God bless, because she needs to get

14:52

out of dodge. Then you've got

14:55

Christine, you know, she's found her soulmate,

14:57

David. So you get to watch as Cody,

14:59

Mary, Janelle, Christine, and Robin continue to

15:01

share a genuine glimpse into the complexities of

15:03

their quasi relationships moving forward as

15:05

best they can for themselves and

15:07

for one another. So it's one

15:09

hour episode. It is on Sunday

15:11

the 20th at 10 p .m.

15:13

Eastern time on TLC. You

15:16

know, I'm always fascinated by the inner

15:18

workings of their relationships. I really love a

15:20

lot of their kids too, and I

15:22

think it's so fascinating, none of them want

15:24

to have a life of polygamy, which

15:26

makes sense too because all of the women

15:28

with the exception of Robin are like,

15:30

what the hell were we thinking? Like we

15:32

have got to get ourselves together. I

15:35

would like to see

15:37

in the future episodes, seeing

15:39

Janelle and Mary date. I

15:42

mean, I think I would like

15:44

to see more of Mary's life as

15:46

a business person because it seems

15:49

like she's quite successful with her MLM

15:51

and I mean, somebody from HGTV

15:53

has to come in and fix that

15:55

bed and breakfast. It's a disaster. But,

15:58

you know, I worry about her because I want

16:00

her to date, but it just feels like it's bleak

16:02

out there. So maybe they could like bring people

16:04

in from Salt Lake City or somewhere else. Of course,

16:06

they may be like, I'm not interested in somebody

16:08

from Sister Wives, but that's neither here nor there. Robin,

16:12

I guess. you know, she's still happy

16:14

with Cody. I want to get into

16:17

their house and see how they really

16:19

live. And I'm concerned about their daughters, Aurora

16:22

and such. Where's

16:24

Dayton? I feel like Dayton just

16:26

like lives in the street. It's very, very concerning. So

16:28

there you go. That is the list. So let

16:30

me go through that again. So

16:32

true crime, you want the murder

16:35

of Joanna Yates. This is April

16:37

22nd on Amazon Prime. Then if

16:39

you are looking for something that

16:41

is really much more

16:43

fulfilling in terms of like reality shows

16:45

that kind of lets you disconnect

16:47

from the world. I think you're going

16:49

to like race for the crown

16:51

because that's the inside look at the

16:53

prestigious triple crown circuit. So it's

16:55

kind of like I'm never going to

16:57

go to any of these events,

16:59

but I kind of want a window

17:01

into that world. I love those

17:03

kind of shows. You can watch that

17:05

on April 22nd on Netflix. Then,

17:08

Battle Camp is even better because it's

17:10

a bunch of reality stars who just

17:12

make terrible decisions in a situation where

17:14

it's like the challenge on MTV. So

17:17

that's Battle Camp on Wednesday, April

17:19

23rd. If you want

17:21

something that's great for your kids

17:23

and exploratory, mysteries of the abandoned,

17:25

unhidden America on Discovery Channel, April

17:27

23rd. Again, another like, let's just

17:30

numb out and have fun and

17:32

relax. And I don't have to

17:34

necessarily look at all the subtitles

17:36

or anything. Vanderpump Villa on Hulu

17:38

Thursday, April 24th. And Love Hotel

17:40

on Bravo, April 27th. Sister Wives

17:42

back for a new episode on

17:44

April 20th. And then lastly, an

17:47

important documentary to watch, The Children

17:49

of October 7th on Paramount Plus

17:51

that airs on April 23rd. I've

17:53

got some great episodes for you

17:55

coming up this week. I hope

17:57

that you checked out all the

17:59

episodes last week. It was a

18:02

great week with lots of great

18:04

storytelling. And I'm so grateful

18:06

for all the DMs that you

18:08

send me about the different episodes that

18:10

really hit you in your heart,

18:12

about the shows that you've become super

18:14

obsessed with. I love to get

18:16

the notes about whether or not your

18:18

spouse or your best friend loved

18:20

the show that you suggested. And,

18:23

you know, there's nothing better than

18:25

kind of Finding

18:27

another person's story in the most unexpected places.

18:29

It could be a reality show, it could

18:31

be a documentary, it could be a series,

18:33

it could be on a podcast, could be

18:35

in a book. But to feel like at

18:37

the end of the day, you learn something

18:39

new about someone else in the world. Maybe

18:41

you develop a friendship out of it. Maybe

18:43

you share that story with somebody in your

18:45

life. Everybody's got a story and there's nothing

18:47

better than great storytelling. So

Thompson stepped out onto the streets of

the biggest private health insurance corporation in

the world. And the suspect,

20:05

he has been identified as

20:07

Luigi Nicholas Mangione, became one of

20:09

the most divisive figures in

20:11

modern criminal history. was targeted, premeditated

20:13

and to sow terror. I'm

20:19

Twist. This is more than a

20:21

true crime investigation. We explore

a uniquely American moment that could change

20:26

the country forever. He's awoken the

20:28

people to a true issue. Finally,

20:32

maybe this would lead rich and

powerful people to acknowledge the barbaric

20:37
