A serial killer went on The Dating Game! Rodney Alcala. And Anna Kendrick just directed and starred in a great movie that slightly fictionalizes the story but tells it in a super compelling way “Woman of the Hour” on Netflix.

Thank you, Janet! ♥️ I’m so glad you enjoyed the episode. I loved that we were able to celebrate Phil and pay tribute to him and SNL.

Fantastic job on one of the saddest cases ever. I’m an SNL from the very first season - I was 15! - and a HUGE fan of Phil. Thank you for this!
