"True Detective" skipped its usual Episode 4 bloodbath this season and instead gave us a buffet of strong dialogue and revelations. Find out what's different about the writing on "The Hour and The Day," and hear Dick Ebert sing twice in the same podcast.

Listener mail discusses how "True Detective" is handling race, the truth behind the West Memphis Three, and the accuracy of how evidence is handled on screen. And the tin foil comes out as listeners ask whether Wayne Hays might be "doinking" Lucy Purcell in the bushes or Julie Purcell might actually be the documentarian meeting with Wayne.

Finally, stick around until the end of the podcast for a voicemail that just might explain the entire season and pin Julie's abduction on a surprise suspect.
