Shownotes

In this episode of The Room Went Dark, Amalie & Lorraine discuss the 2019 crime based drama on the life and crimes of serial killer Ted Bundy, told largely through the perspective of his longtime partner, Elizabeth Kendall, played by Lily Collins. Directed by Joe Berlinger and starring Zac Efron as Ted Bundy, the film sparked debate over media fascination with true crime, charisma, and the ethics of portraying violent offenders on screen.

In This Episode

  • The real-life story behind the film
  • Zac Efron’s portrayal of Bundy
  • Media sensationalism and the “charming serial killer” narrative
  • Historical accuracy vs dramatisation
