Amanda and Sarah move up to the big leagues with two heavy hitters. Amanda takes a whack at murderer Lizzie Borden with a look at the many details, and gender and class politics, that played into her sensational trial. Sarah has a go at the Enfield Haunting, one of history's most famous and well-documented poltergeist cases. Other subjects covered include a burrito/cocktails hybrid and a teen soap opera look-a-like.
Recommendations:
Amanda recommends the MTV show Scream. Sarah recommends the 2015 movie, The Enfield Haunting.
