'Should I Marry a Murderer?', Beauty Pressure & Changing Ourselves for Big Events

About this episode

Kelly and Louise discuss the documentary 'Should I Marry a Murderer?' and explore societal pressures on women regarding beauty and self-improvement.

Series 3 has landed and Kelly and Louise are back with big questions and big news - the podcast has been nominated for two awards at the Scottish Podcast Awards 2026. In today's episode, after watching Should I Marry a Murderer? on Netflix, Kelly and Louise unpack the documentary everyone is talking about. From the treatment of the woman at the centre of the story to wider questions around how victims are treated, media framing and sensationalism, there’s a lot to discuss. From weddings and beauty standards to body image and the rise of weight loss drugs, the conversation explores the societal pressure on women to look a certain way—and whether trying to become a “better version” of ourselves before big moments ultimately leaves us with regrets. Expect thoughtful conversation, strong opinions and plenty of questions about the expectations placed on women today. 🎧 Subscribe, leave a rating and share the podcast with a friend — it really helps independent podcasts grow.
