Summary

Sara and Danny are back talk all about the new Netflix series The Watcher, based on a real story taking place in Westfield, New Jersey. They give some background on Derek and Maria Broaddus, who even before moving into their newly purchased home, began to receive threatening letters from an anonymous person calling themselves ‘The Watcher.’ Then, they talk about the series so far, and some differences between the fictionalized version of these events. To end the show, they play a game called “We Are They Ones Who Watch!,” where they try their best to remember some of the numerous true crime docs that have come out this year and when they were released.
