Only Murders In the Building, on Hulu, follows three fans of a Serial-like show called All Is Not OK in Oklahoma. By the end of season two, it becomes clear the show's host, played by Tina Fey, may be a cold-blooded murderer herself.
"I need something with famous people, and blood!" she wails to an assistant. "God, I need a murder. A good one!"
Fey's character is just one example of what seems to be a new pop culture archetype.
Call them the morally dubious podcasters.
In the movie Vengeance, B.J. Novak plays a self-serving journalist pitching a podcast about the death of a woman he briefly dated.
