Summary

Sara and Danny are back to discuss an international serial killer whose life seems stranger than fiction: The Vienna Strangler. They cover the whole timeline of Jack Unterweger’s crimes, starting from the first murder that landed him in prison for life, his premature release, and his crime spree in the United States. Then they go into the recent Netflix documentary ‘Hotel Cecil’ and whether its was a worthwhile portrayal of this infamous hotel and the many incidents that took place there. They end the episode with a segment called ‘Don’t Be A-Freud!’, where they take a look at their subconscious minds to get to uncover what it reveals about themselves.
