The Media that Made Us | Murder She G.O.A.T. Season 1 Episode 12
Today's episode is inspired by "Birds of a Feather" (season 1 episode 4 of Murder, She Wrote).
In the season finale of Murder She G.O.A.T., Willie and Emma explore coveting the lifestyles seen in short-form content and The French Chef, one of Willie's best drag experiences, the under-appreciated wisdom of the movie White Chicks, and the power media has to make it "okay" for society to treat certain groups of people unkindly.
This first season has been a journey of emotional revelation, all thanks to our muse and role model Jessica Fletcher. Thank you for joining us on this season of The Media that Made Us.

The Media that Made Us | Murder She G.O.A.T. Season 1 Episode 5
Today's episode is inspired by "Sing a Song of Murder" (season 2 episode 5 of Murder, She Wrote).
Willie and Emma experience a first–they don't really enjoy the episode of MSW. The single source of joy in "Sing a Song of Murder" is that we get to see Angela Lansbury play two roles. (It's worth the price of admission honestly!)
In this episode, Willie and Emma explore the Hayley Mills vs. Lindsay Lohan Parent Traps, Mary Poppins, and the sophistication of a red wig.

Origin Story
It all began with a dream. During his nightly slumber, Willie was struck with a vision–a podcast about Murder, She Wrote co-hosted with his friend Emma. The podcast was called Murder, She G.O.A.T.
When he awoke, Willie shared this dream with Emma and the two decided to make it a reality. But because Emma is greedy and wanted to ensure she would get to spend even more time with Willie, she convinced him the podcast should be about any and all media that was influential to them over the years.
And so, Murder, She G.O.A.T. became season 1 of The Media That Made Us. We are so glad you found us! Let's get cozy and chat about our favorite stories and our favorite characters–Jessica Fletcher very much included.
