20/20 - Explosive Secrets

Assault & Bakery ·

2025/02/12

Kayla and Liz and basement banter are back with an episode of 20/20 this week. Explosive Secrets covers the case of Gary Triano’s death. It’s thorough, but Kayla and Liz still have questions… mostly about why they don’t have wealthy husbands. Feedback? Comments? Email us at kaylizpod@gmail.com.

The Menendez Brothers

Assault & Bakery ·

2025/02/06

Spoiler (for your wellbeing): This episode includes mention of sexual assault. It is not detailed or graphic, but if that is a topic you don't want to engage with, skip this one. Kayla and Liz are back at it with The Menendez Brothers on Netflix this week. This case is a heavy one, but they dig in to the main points of the case before contemplating how they hope things would be different if this case were in 2025 instead of 1989. Also, they realize how weird and gross the media was in t...

Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare

Assault & Bakery ·

2025/01/30

Kayla and Liz take a break from murder to discuss the Netflix documentary, Sweet Bobby: My Catfish Nightmare. Catfishing cases are Liz's contemporary true crime fascination. They cover it all: Why do people catfish? How do people get away with catfishing for so long? Is catfishing a crime? Who is the victim? Do these people have jobs? Can you graduate from witness protection? What's the time difference between London and New York? Feedback? Comments? Email us at kaylizpod@gmail.com. Foll...

Catching Killers - BTK

Assault & Bakery ·

2025/01/24

This week, Kayla and Liz follow the investigation of the BTK killer from the Netflix show, Catching Killers. BTK is one of the first true crime stories Kayla remembers being interested in. Catching Killers focuses on the process of investigation, not on the crime, criminals, or victims. It's the procedural side of true crime and gives a different perspective to the case. Because of how BTK was caught, Kayla and Liz also end up wondering where their cells are and if they agreed to them being t...

Unsolved Mysteries - Body in the Basement

Assault & Bakery ·

2025/01/16

Kayla and Liz are back for season 2! There is no GBBS to watch, so they are in the "assault" realm of Assault & Bakery. This season starts with an episode of Unsolved Mysteries, a show from Liz's childhood that contributed to her true crime love in adulthood. Not to ruin it for you, but they do not solve the mystery of Amanda Antoni's death during the episode, but the details of this case are curious and haunting. Kayla and Liz also ponder how one could move through life not thinking the ...

GBBS - Series 15 - Finale

Assault & Bakery ·

2024/12/05

We have a winner! It was a bit tense, but ultimately a satisfying outcome. Kayla and Liz talk about the bakes (as always), prior finales and champions, and try to drum up some sponsorships from local businesses.

GBBS - Series 15 - Patisserie Week

Assault & Bakery ·

2024/11/28

The Patisserie Week Semi-Final was a close one! The remaining bakers are so talented and so evenly matched. Kayla and Liz endured (and maybe almost enjoyed?) the stressful episode and make their final picks of the season!

GBBS - Series 15 - 70s Week

Assault & Bakery ·

2024/11/21

1970s Week was groovy! The lowdown on this episode is that it was full of delicious sounding retro bakes that looked hideous. There was no Jello. Kayla and Liz recap the episode, judge the judges a bit, and try to read the Instagram tea leaves to figure out who has won.

GBBS - Series 15 - Dessert Week

Assault & Bakery ·

2024/11/14

Kayla and Liz have been stressed so good thing they had Dessert...s Week. The competition is wrapping up (next week is the quarter final!) and yet somehow each week is even harder to predict -- even though there are fewer options. Grab yourself a slice of spotted dick and enjoy the discussion of baking, steaming, and how close to death we feel.

GBBS - Series 15 - Autumn Week

Assault & Bakery ·

2024/11/05

Thankfully, there were no cakes made of dead leaves during Autumn Week. But that would have been something! It was a very tense episode with 2 of Kayla and Liz's favorite Bakers in contention for elimination. They also discuss the fall flavors, hiding vegetables in cake, and Guy Fawkes Day (which they have no business talking about).

GBBS - Series 15 - Pastry Week

Assault & Bakery ·

2024/10/29

That's a wrap on pastry week! Kayla and Liz once again talk about how good the bakers are this year and how difficult it is to determine who's going to get star baker each week. They discuss the lack of soggy bottoms and their confusion over what "foreign cuisine" is in Great Britain. Want to play along in our Fantasy Bake-Off game? Do it!

GBBS - Series 15 - Caramel Week

Assault & Bakery ·

2024/10/21

Caramel Week was a journey - as is Kayla and Liz’s recap of it. They discuss how funny this episode was and how the Bakers didn’t perform with caramel as well as they did with bread. Hopefully you find this episode as entertaining as the hosts find themselves/each other when they get off on tangents. Correction: Around the 30-minute mark, Liz talks about Mike, but she totally meant John. Sorry!Want to play along in our Fantasy Bake-Off game? Do it! We have a Google Doc here with instruct...

GBBS - Series 15 - Bread Week

Assault & Bakery ·

2024/10/17

Bread Week proved to be one to remember! (Proved. Get it?) Kayla and Liz cannot get over how good the bakers are this season. They also discuss how the non-cumulative nature of the competition makes it very difficult to not say something one week that will inevitably make you sound like a fool in the very near future.

GBBS - Series 15 - Biscuit Week

Assault & Bakery ·

2024/10/07

Biscuit Week is in the books! (It was also in the tent.) Kayla and Liz fawn over the flavors, the artistry, and the word "faff." They also realize that they are not casual Bake-Off fans.

That's a wrap on week 1, Cake Week! Kayla and Liz dig into the scrummiest bakes, revisit their predictions from last week, say the word "duck" as much as their iPhones think they are, and learn about British weather and slang.
