Synopsis
Amanda and Sarah cover a misunderstood murderess and a fairytale with multiple versions. Amanda heads to late-1800s New York City for the story of Maria Barbella, an Italian immigrant woman who famously took the law into her own hands. Sarah looks at the possible origins and many varied takes on Rapunzel from throughout history. Other subjects covered include heartburn hassles, Pier One memories, and courtroom knives. Recommendations: Amanda recommends two 80s slasher films, Edge of the Axe and He Knows You're Alone.
