Ever since I was young, I have loved anything that scares me. From watching Tales From The Crypt to convincing my fourth-grade class there was an evil doll living under our school, it’s always been my thing. However, this thing hasn’t always been met with resounding positivity. In fact, some people still think it’s strange to marathon horror films all year long and choose Black Christmas over Miracle On 34th Street, and then there’s the LAST PODCAST ON THE LEFT — an outlet that satiates a need for said thing with morbid comic relief.
Every week, comedians Ben Kissel, Marcus Parks, and Henry Zebrowski use their podcast to dig into the darkest corners of history. Their research-driven show is a dark but light, gruesome but hysterical take on serial killers, war crimes, alien abductions, werewolves, and whatever seemingly took place with the Waco siege of 1993 and much more. What the guys do best is “defang the monsters” — shattering the preconceived notions that Netflix documentaries and mainstream media continue to shell out while focusing on who they really are: lonely, pathetic humans who more than likely smell like spilled milk.
To figure out if they are really worth crying over, we recently caught up with the Brothers Grimm of Last Podcast in Toronto to take a thorough deep dive into everything “true crime”.
