Episode 31: Ed Gein, the Daddy of all Monsters
Description
Its Number one on Netflix, Monsters - the Ed Gein Story, but what does a world leading criminologist make of this controversial re telling of the original American serial killer and body snatcher?
Professor David Wilson loved all eight hours of dark, macabre and depraved behaviour carried out by the ultimate mummy's boy who's fixation with her led to his bizarre collection of body women's body parts. Journalist and broadcaster Martin Frizell, on the other hand, felt it was overlong, voyeuristic and checked out to watch the Sound of Music! Nazis in both but Ed Gein's influences came from the sinister Bitch of Buchenwald which allegedly fuelled his monsterous cravings. It's a proper non sensationalised half hour discussion about one of the true crime series of the year.
