Mushroom Murders: True Crime Wars

The Rest Is Entertainment Presented By Sky

Wednesday, 16 July 2025 - 55 minutes

Why are mushrooms on the lips of every true crime podcaster? Has Google's new AI video software put the final nail in the TV and Film industry's coffin?


Australia has been gripped by the case of Erin Pattinson, the recently convicted "Mushroom Killer". What does our obsession with murder and crime say about us as consumers? Richard and Marina discuss the true-crime-industrial complex and how that impacts the subjects of these often traumatising cases.


The latest, and most impressive, AI filmaking tool 'Flow' by Google has taken the tech world by storm. Richard sets out his vision for a new media utopia, fuelled by the revolutionary app.

Marina - K Pop Demon Hunters (Netflix)

Richard - 24 Hours In Police Custody (Channel 4) / Can't Sell Must Sell (Channel 4) / Last Stop Larrimah (HBO)
