Summary

With Toby away on vacation, the crime writers welcome actress and podcaster Janet Varney to the panel. The Netflix documentary “Pray Away” looks back at the early-adopters of conversion therapy and the advocates who believed in its efficacy...until they didn’t. The film also follows an evangelical who renounced his trans identity and is organizing a political movement for those who identify as “ex-gay.” FOR OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "PRAY AWAY" GO TO 35:00 Who was killed during their stay at this luxurious Hawaiian resort? Beneath the comedy in the HBO series “The White Lotus” there is a simmering tension and a commentary on the tedium of wealth, the indifference of privilege, and the specter of death. FOR OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "THE WHITE LOTUS" GO TO 1:13:00 In Crime of the Week: deal of a lifetime. TO PRE-ORDER AN AUTOGRAPHED COPY OF LARA'S NEW BOOK, DEAD ON DEADLINE, CLICK HERE.
