DINNER PARTNERS with Christopher & Eric

Christopher and Eric are kicking off a month of True Crime TV Club set in Manhattan and the outer boroughs. They’re calling it Summer In The City Month because only a killer would enjoy New York in July. And it’s still Pride Season which is why they’re starting off with this tale of cold hearted predators stalking gay men in the city. In the second episode of the ninth season of venerable true crime favorite PEOPLE MAGAZINE INVESTIGATES entitled “Death In Hell’s Kitchen”, they learn how homophobic stereotyping can infect supposedly progressive police forces even in 2022. They also ask if one of these victims might still be alive today if the investigators hadn’t made bigoted assumptions early in the case. Breaking News!

It is a truth universally acknowledged that the hosts of Dinner Partners are total suckers for any true crime special that uses the word "sassy" in the narration more than once. Such is the case with second episode of the second season of SOUTHERN FRIED HOMICIDE, portentously entitled "Romance Is Dead". Dirty Sexy Money Month continues with a toxic blend of all three ingredients. Being the mayor of a small South Carolina town can make you a lot of enemies. Now add in being it's pre-eminent lawyer and landlord and the list of suspects in your violent and untimely demise only gets longer. But is the real culprit in this tale of pain pill addicted ambitious shop owners and mouthy confidential informants closer to home? This year, Eric's best birthday present is that he lives a safe distance from South Carolina.

March is Birthday Month for Christopher and Eric and so we're spending this month of episodes serving up the things they love most — Dirty Sexy Money. Not necessarily in that order, but usually in combination. What better way to kick off a birthday celebration than with a surprise visit from one of their favorite TV hosts of all time? After hearing their salacious True Crime TV Club serving of his true crime confection THE PRINCE, THE WHIZ KID AND THE MILLIONAIRE on Episode 317, famed DATELINE host Josh Mankiewicz reached out and asked to visit the Dinner Partners studio in West Hollywood so he could discuss this unforgettable real life tale of gay con men, murderers and chain smoking Palm Springs gossip columnists. He agrees — it's the Gayest Dateline Ever! After forcing him to endure strict security protocols to ensure that he was, indeed, Josh Mankiewicz, your hosts were overjoyed to welcome him. Not only do they discuss the very colorful cast of characters on the DATELINE episode in question, they talk about what goes into making the most well-known and highly regarded true crime television series on the planet. And yes, they remembered to take a picture with him.

In which Christopher and Eric lose their collective minds and join the delirious, global freakout over the groundbreaking, generation-defining series, HEATED RIVALRY. They had no idea that when one of our Very Important Party People showed up in their VIPP Facebook group --sign up now-- talking about a "puck and **ck" show coming to Canadian television most of the planet would soon be in its firm, confident grip. Christopher and Eric dish on hot hockey players, MM romance, their own super gay books as well the geniuses that are Rachel Reid and Jacob Tierney. Is it still a bromance if they kiss? Bromance Month continues with this spicy Valentine.

Bromance Month begins in a rugged, mountainous American state about which host Eric Shaw Quinn has some controversial opinions relating to altitude, oxygen uptake and mental health. In part 1 of their the two-part serving of THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN MORTICIAN MURDER, Christopher and Eric deliver episode 1 of the three episode series featuring dueling morticians, missed lunch dates, lesbian moms, abusive sons and a cliffhanger ending that will leave you gasping for some of that thin mountain air and the revelations of Part II. Keep your oxygen masks handy.

Hot Dateline Month has delivered sultry swaying palms and bleak Montana highways. Now it's time to head to an affluent Midwestern suburb where — wait for it! — a seemingly idyllic marriage is not all it's cracked up to be. You know it's going to be a doozy when the narration begins by describing the episode as "One of the strangest stories we've ever had on DATELINE." Enter episode 4 of season 29, entitled "Sex, Lies And Murder" where you'll meet Jane and Bob Bashara, the couple who has it all — including a semi-secret BDSM dungeon Bob keeps in the basement of one of his rental properties. And does this case hinge on the ick-factor-disapproval of suburban sensibilities? On this particular question, Christopher and Eric aren't sure they agree.

Welcome to Hot Dateline Month in which your hosts Christopher and Eric celebrate the iconic, storied and always reliable true crime phenomenon that started their obsession with the genre. And what better way to kick off this tribute than with the GAYEST DATELINE EVER. (That's not what NBC called it, of course.) Impeccably dressed fine arts dealers and terribly twinky con men collide under the scorching Palm Springs sun in the 3,675th episode of the 329th season of DATELINE. (Just kidding. It's actually episode 3 of season 34, so we're not that far off.) "The Prince, The Whiz Kid and the Millionaire" has all the ingredients of a novel written by your hosts poolside after one box of bon bons too many.
