Balto is still one of my favorite films (inaccurate as it is) and I'm pretty sure it was even where I fell in love with wolves in the first place, so I hate that I didn't even realize it's been over a century since the Serum Run until I started to catch up with one of my favorite podcasts.

Dr. Death will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on March 22 via Universal Pictures. The true crime miniseries debuted on Peacock last year.

Based on Wondery’s podcast of the same name, the show is created by Patrick Macmanus. Joshua Jackson, Christian Slater, Alec Baldwin, Grace Gummer, AnnaSophia Robb, and Kelsey Grammer star.

The two-disc Blu-ray set is presented in high definition with DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio. No special features are listed. The trailer can be viewed below.

Dr. Death tells the shocking true story of Dr. Christopher Duntsch (Joshua Jackson), a seemingly bright, young neurosurgeon with a thriving medical practice. But all is not as it seems. When a growing number of Dr. Duntsch’s defenseless patients end up permanently maimed or worse, two fellow physicians, neurosurgeons Robert Henderson (Alec Baldwin) and vascular surgeon Randall Kirby (Christian Slater), attempt to stop him before he causes any more harm.

Pre-order Dr. Death.

If you are watching Dr. Death on Peacock, or if you listened to the Wondery podcast of the same name, please consider donating to the GoFundMe started by the surviving family members of Philip Mayfield.

Mayfield was left paralyzed from the neck down following a botched surgery performed in 2013. He was left vulnerable to other illnesses, including Covid-19, which claimed his life in Feb. 2021.

As of today, July 26, 2021, the GoFundMe has raised $620/$5,000. He is survived by his wife and three children.

Ok, so fellow true crime fans- heads up, if you have any free time at all you can kiss it goodbye-

I have been finding so many compelling and surprising mysteries and murders on this app @crimedoor -

The coolest thing about the app is getting to use just your phone to “walk” around and investigate crime scenes- but! ——-

—-I think my favorite thing might be deep diving into incredible, heart-wrenching mysteries like this - Amy Betchel, who went missing off her of her Royal Caribbean cruise in the 90’s and was never seen again... maybe...

A great resource for finding new podcasts, stories, and even geographically nearby cases you might be able to help solve, Crimedoor is your new go-to, I promise 👌🏻

This Is Actually Happening

“The mind almost has to find a way to prove that it’s not real. This cannot be happening.”

Seeking treatment for anxiety takes a left turn.

Current podcasts, kind of a random selection:

1. The Dream - A journalistic deep dive into the exploitative snake oil filled worlds of multi level marketing and the wellness industry. My absolute favorite current podcast.

2. Buffering the Vampire Slayer - Two queer women podcasting Buffy episode by episode. Features cast interviews!

3. Reply All - A longtime favorite. A Gimlet show about the Internet. Can be serious and also silly. Personal favorite is the double episode about the host flying out to India to meet a scammer who sells ‘antivirus’ software.

4. Veronica Mars Investigations - Features the amazing Helen Zaltzman of the Allusionist and musician Jenny Owen Youngs covering Veroinca Mars episode by episode.

5. Nice Try! - A historical look at failed utopias.

6. What Trump Can Teach Us About Con Law - Roman Mars and a law professor taking a look at all the illegal crap Trump does and investigating it from a constitutional law perspective. Scratches that itch of law nerd for me. For more of this type of thing, check out More Perfect podcast.

7. The Perfect Scam - I promise I’m not that old a lady despite listening to an AARP podcast. Learn about various kinds of scam and how to fight back against them. Bonus, Frank Abagnale (who the movie ‘Catch Me If You Can’ is about) is a cohost.

8. We Crashed - A short 6-part documentary series about the fall of We Work. Subject matter is wildly interesting.

9. Safe For Work - Advice show for workplace questions. They take listener calls which is kinda nice to hear.
