comment
Unreliable Narrator: Though it could be applicable to many episodes, Gillian and Patrick particularly take issue with how The Impostor is told from the point of view of the criminal, and his narrative on his motivation isn't questioned in the documentary.

Everybody Knew Already
 True Crime Obsessed (Podcast) / int_4d0372b
comment
Everybody Knew Already: Gillian does not believe in There's Something Wrong with Aunt Diane, that no one knows the sister-in-law is a smoker. As she points out, cigarette smoke leaves a long smell on a person. Brought up again with The Vow when a victim of Keith Raniere knew instantly on meeting her. Gillian again points out that smokers generally reek of it.

Recurring Character
 True Crime Obsessed (Podcast) / int_56635771
comment
Recurring Character: They often comment on the experts and talking heads who have appeared in numerous true crime documentaries. Examples include forensic scientist Henry Lee, pathologist Werner Spitz, and behaviour analyst Laura Richards. They both comment on the very different tone that Billy Jensen has when appearing in Death in the Mansion on Oxygen, as opposed to his more dignified interview in HBO's I'll be Gone in the Dark

Police Are Useless: As many documentaries include at least one police officer, there are mainly aversions to this.

Suddenly Shouting: Gillian's impression on Marjorie Diehl in Evil Dead is of her just suddenly shouting at normal questions. It has become a recurring gag.

Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: Invoked when they discuss this as a problem with Making a Murderer’s second season. The case isn't solved, there are endless dead ends, and it becomes too depressing to enjoy.

It's Personal: Their discussion of McMillion$ begins with Gillian admitting that she played the McDonald's Monopoly game a lot to try and get the 1 million prize, so she feels personally outraged that the game was scammed. It comes up throughout their discussion.

Berserk Button: They argue that the Scott Peterson case broke Nancy Grace, because in older clips of her, she seems significantly less angry, but her angry persona seems to begin at that point.
