Make sure to leave your questions for our Post Mortem episode down below!
-
Plot twist: The 11 year old boy who asked if George was really the “man of steel” ended up killing him out of curiosity.
-
“Bergara never misses, except when he hunts ghosts” LMAOOOO sick burn
-
I love how the story of him telling the boy that the bullet would hurt bystanders feels like something that would legitimately happen in a Superman comic book.
-
I feel bad for George, he never had a single chance to truly show his full talent and was cut short by horrible people
-
The only good part of this being the last season is that Ryan and Shane can rest their sore backs for carrying BuzzFeed.
-
If this is truely the last season, Buzzfeed is in big trouble.
-
Apparently Lemmon continued that 'joke' after they heard the shot. She said "See there — I told so!" upon hearing the gunshot, which makes this case even more macabre.
-
Back after the Watcher debacle. Feels good to pretend it hasn't yet happened
-
“Shane…I killed JFK” (Pause) “What did it feeeeeeel like”
-
“To the final season of unsolved” *everyone disliked that*
-
All of them are so suspicious, was the fiancé ever abusive to him? Could explain the bruises and her tantrums and the joking of suicide before he committed suicide?
-
You guys should really do an episode on the missing 9-year-old girl, Asha Degree. She just woke up randomly at 3 a.m. one cold, dark, rainy, and stormy morning, and decided to leave her house and walk for miles up along a pitch-dark highway. Alone. Dressed in her pajamas in 40-degree weather. No umbrella, raincoat, or jacket. And then she just went missing. Baffles me until today.
-
Buzzfeed is nothing without Ryan and Shane.
-
I loved how Reeves convinced the boy to put his gun down without bursting his bubble that superheroes don't exist... Sad he had to go like this...
-
Can we just talk about how Shane wanted to take tap dancing lessons with Ryan… that’s adorable I love their friendship <3
-
I still don't understand why George Reeves was naked
-
"He's going to shoot himself." "He's getting the gun out now." gunshot "It was just a prank, bro."
-
“I was always more of a Batman guy” -Shane Madej, looking like the Joker
-
Q: "How could a murderer get away with four potential witnesses sitting downstairs?" A: Money
