In a world where drug use was rampant and controversy was currency, confessions of murder weren't even enough to raise heavily painted eyebrows. This is the story of how one of New York's hottest promoters fell from grace to cause the death of a man and the death of New York's club scene.
In this week's episode of RedHanded, we discuss the killing of Angel Melendez and how Michael Alig went from making TV appearances at the forefront of the groundbreaking Club Kid movement, to killing a man, and then chopping him up in exchange for ten bags of heroin.

| 0:15.0 | I'm Hannah, I'm Sarootty, and welcome to Redhanded, which is the first ever opportunity I think possibly. |
| 0:22.0 | I'm going to be able to talk about Drag Race on today's show, and I don't think I've been allowed to do that before. |
| 0:27.0 | So I've engineered this entire situation so I can talk about Reefball Strike Race. |
| 0:31.0 | I mean, I feel like we've definitely talked about Drag Race because I called it Rupal's or Rupals or something. |
| 0:37.0 | I said it wrong and then everyone was very upset with me. I'm Saroot people. |
| 0:41.0 | There's a lot of viewing to be done, and that's just not one yet that has made its way into my rotation because I'm so busy watching |
| 0:47.0 | fucking event horizon for some reason. I would be so interested to see what you think of it. |
| 0:53.0 | I think I would probably enjoy it. I feel like it just looks like America's Next Top Model, but more fierce and less Tyra, which I'm fine with. |
| 1:01.0 | Yeah, I mean, that's exactly what it is. It's America's Next Top Model, but Drag Queens, and arguably a bit less problematic than America's Next Top Model. |
| 1:08.0 | Precisely. So maybe I am all here for it without knowing, but no, I'm excited. |

| 1:32.0 | If you haven't, what are you doing with your entire life? You should go look at it and then go buy some. |
| 1:37.0 | So go check that out. We are also bringing out doggy bandanas that say spooky birch on them. |
| 1:42.0 | By the time this episode goes out, they may be there. They may not yet be, but either go buy them or be prepared. |
| 1:48.0 | We're basically waiting on a supplier issue, but they're so cute. |
| 1:52.0 | And if you are a Patreon patron of red handed this week under the duvet is video. |
| 2:01.0 | It's so exciting. |
| 2:02.0 | We've decided that we've changed the format. To be honest, these boxes, we have a love-hate relationship with them. |
| 2:08.0 | They've brought us a lot of good things. They've made the show sound better, but we're trying to spend a little time in them as humanly possible now because they are claustrophobic. |
