The podcast episodes on the Black Dahlia murder case explore how the alleged killer, Dr. George Hodel, was obsessed with surrealist art and how this may have influenced his disturbing mindset and alleged crimes.

Specific examples include references to Hodel's fascination with the work of surrealist artists like Man Ray, whose unsettling photographic compositions depicting violence against women are analyzed as potentially inspiring Hodel's own brutal acts The Black Dahlia Murder Pt. 2 and The Black Dahlia Murder Pt. 2.

The podcast episodes delve into how Hodel's obsession with surrealist art and its themes of the subconscious, the macabre, and the violation of the female form may have played a role in shaping his disturbed psyche and the methods he used to allegedly commit the Black Dahlia murder and other killings.
