Season 3 of the smash hit FX/Hulu show “The Bear” roared to life just days ago, but Will Poulter (the actor who plays fan-favorite Luca) and 2014 F&W Best New Chef Dave Beran had been prepping for weeks. Poulter — like his co-star Jeremy Allen White — staged with Beran at his Santa Monica restaurant Pasjoli to learn how to accurately portray a professional chef onscreen. The lessons went so well, Beran says he’d hire Poulter as a cook — even despite a messy mishap with a pastry bag. The two dished all about getting kitchen culture right on and offscreen, what it takes to be at the top of your craft, and the pure magic of a great restaurant service.

Peggy Carr: “A Toxic Mix”丨MURDERISH Ep. 187 1:06:54

14 days ago1:06:54

1:06:54

In recent decades, “the husband did it” has become a popular catchphrase in the true crime community. But some murders aren’t so cut-and-dry. In October 1988, 41-year-old Peggy Carr began to feel very ill as she finished her waitressing shift in Alturas, Florida. What started as a sharp pain in her chest early in the day, progressed to a painful burning sensation in her hands and legs. It was excruciating. Peggy’s mysterious symptoms baffled doctors. Was this a terminal illness? A rare virus? Or, could someone have done something to her? As doctors scrambled to make sense of what was happening, a sinister truth was exposed. They say the devil’s in the details. Sometimes the most insidious kind of evil lurks in the most unexpected places.

Nancy Knuckles: “Chicago’s Killer Party” | MURDERISH Ep. 186 56:15

56:15

Four decades on the faded Polaroid picture still defies belief. Frozen forever within the white square frame, nine youths on their hands and knees stacked atop one another to create a playful pyramid. Their expressions range from slight amusement to outright glee. It was the Eighties in Chicago, Illinois when the Polaroid image was snapped. It appears as if it could’ve been taken at a birthday party, family reunion or holiday celebration. Only it wasn’t. It was taken minutes after a cold-blooded murder. Moments before, within the same walls, 40-year-old Nancy Knuckles was strangled to death by her 17-year-old daughter and her daughter’s boyfriend, while a houseful of their friends were present. When the rest of the group, including Nancy’s other daughter and son, discovered the scene, they didn’t alert authorities. Instead, they cracked beers, turned on music and went about their day. Over 40 years later, the case remains one of Chicagoland’s most hotly debated. The central question: who was Nancy Knuckles and did her own actions contribute to her brutal death?

1:06:09

In this episode of Serial Streamers Jami recaps the Netflix docuseries, “ Bad Influence: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing .” This documentary shows viewers the dark side of child influencers and what can go wrong when minors are pushed to produce content and income. Piper Rockelle’s YouTube channel, featuring her “squad,” was wildly successful and earning hundreds of thousands of dollars each month. Over time, members of the squad and their parents came to see Piper’s mother, Tiffany Smith, as problematic, exploitative and a master manipulator. Video footage in the documentary shows Tiffany exhibiting disturbing behavior toward the children, and even forcing herself onto one of the minor squad members. In 2022, 11 former squad members filed a lawsuit against Tiffany Smith and her much younger boyfriend, Hunter Hill. The plaintiffs alleged that Tiffany and Hunter sabotaged their YouTube channels, and claimed Tiffany abused them. Jami gets into all the details of this cringey and disturbing documentary, providing all of her personal hot takes along the way.

Susan Simoni: “Unanswered Questions” | MURDERISH Ep. 185 1:00:44

1:00:44

In December 1989, 37-year-old Susan Simoni clocked out from her job as a medical secretary. A simple plan lay ahead: pick-up dog from the groomer and daughter from ballet. A fairly typical evening. Or so she thought. Outwardly, Susan had it all. But beneath the veneer of a perfect life, a hidden darkness lurked. Susan’s marriage of 15 years was falling apart. The previous night, Susan had finally broached the subject of divorce with her husband Brian. She’d even handed Brian a pamphlet, a guide to navigating the painful process with minimal damage to their three children—ages 14, 11, and 9. When Susan failed to pick up her daughter, Alicia, from ballet and never arrived home that night, Brian called police to report her absence. The next morning, Susan was found dead in her SUV. It didn’t take police long to identify a suspect, and his identity surprised everyone …everyone, that is, but those who knew Susan best.

On November 2, 2016, Sherri Papini left her Redding, CA home to go on a jog. When Sherri didn’t return home, the mom of two was reported missing. Sherri Papini’s case became a media frenzy and suspicion fell on her husband, Keith Papini. Law enforcement and the public began to think Keith had something to do with his wife’s disappearance. Three weeks after Sherri went missing, she turned up again reporting that her captors had set her free. Sherri was visibly injured and seemingly traumatized by what her abductors had done to her. Then, it became apparent that Sherri had made the entire, bizarre story up. The media dubbed Sherri the real life “Gone Girl” as the shocking details of her kidnapping hoax unfolded. In this episode, Jami and Melissa recap the Hulu docuseries Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini and give their own takes on the case throughout.

Laura Winans & Julie Williams: “Young Love Interrupted” | MURDERISH Ep. 182 59:46

In May 1996, 24-year-old Julianne Williams and 26-year-old Laura Winans set off on a weeklong camping trip in Shenandoah National Park. The two experienced hikers were eager to immerse themselves in the beauty of the Virginia wilderness. The adventure was a celebration of sorts. Julie and Lollie, as they were known to friends, had recently moved in together in Vermont, a major step in their relationship. The young women had not yet come out to their families back home in the Midwest, and were still adjusting to life as an openly gay couple. On May 31, 1996, Julie’s father reported the couple missing as they’d been due home three days earlier. The two women’s bodies were discovered the next day. They’d been brutally assaulted and murdered. A widespread investigation to find their killer ensued, but would ultimately lead to the wrong man. Julie and Lollie’s families would have to wait decades for answers, and the close of their case would be deeply disappointing for some.
