This week, Kris tells us a Strange tale from Brazil. While we may think of Brazil as a beautiful and lively place, Kris is going to tell us about a criminal who served to reveal the less beautiful and much less lively (one might even say deadly instead... except nobody would say that except for Kris... because she's a loser). Pedro Rodrigues Filho was not just a rebel with a cause, but a murderer with one. Y'all know we love a good story of retribution, especially when that retribution is dramatic. This vigilante was an unmasked avenger, lacking all subtlety, and we love him for it. Learn all about the 'Brazilian Dexter', as well as a little neuroscience and a little Brazilian law in this week's episode.
Here's some stuff that Kris looked at so you didn't have to. But like... you can look at it too if you want.
