Summary:
This week we are giving all our listeners a taste of our Patreon, Crime Adjacent. Buckle in for a ride as we get a little loose and chat about the widely popular Netflix documentary “The Crash” which covered the case of Mackenzie Shirilla. We discuss the tragic events, the personalities involved, and the societal issues surrounding youth, social media, and accountability. We share our very raw opinions and insights on the case, highlighting the disturbing behaviours and legal outcomes.
