I just came from the gym, excuse me.
Um I will tell you this, man, holy crap.
I slept all Saturday, guys.
I was so dead, like I literally slept the whole time.
Pretty much a good way to see if I'm asleep or not, guys, look at my Twitter.
If I'm not tweeting, that means I'm passed out somewhere dead.
That's what it pretty much means.
Because I'm on there all the time.
So if you guys see me not tweeting on X, that means I'm probably passed out.
So, shout out to all you guys, shout out to the OSS uh squad.
Um, and shout out to Bills for helping me out with um getting the stuff going.
As you guys know, best way to get involved in the show is Marian Gaines X. That's the best way to get involved.
Um also we fixed it, I think, where look, now I got it where if you donate on MarGaines X dot com, it shows up on the screen.
We fixed it, shout out to Bills for doing that.
Um, that's the best way to donate to the show, guys, and get involved in the show is Myron Gaines X dot com.
Um, but if you're watching on Castle Club, you can donate via Council Club, or you can donate on um Rumble Ram.

So let me see here.
Let me make sure I don't have anything else that's getting in the way.
Let me look at some of the chats here.
Make sure I didn't miss any of you guys.
I am using Rumble Studio today, so we can actually see what's going on, which is good.

Um, I don't know if I'm gonna go live on the Fresh Fit Channels this week.
I don't know if I will.
Um because it's a pain in the ass to like turn everything on and off.
So I might just do it on the Martin Gaines X channels, but I was doing that just so you guys can kind of get used to the new schedule.
We've been going now for what, two weeks, chat on Myron Gaines X of five.
And you guys notice we're starting on time, right?

I appreciate that, my friend.
Thank you for that support.
Appreciate it greatly.
Hold on a second.
All right.
So today we're going to be covering Rodney Alcala.
So.
All right.
So Rodney James Alcala, born Rodrigo Jacques, uh Joaquis Alcala, August 23rd, 1943, uh, died July 24th, 2021.
Was an American serial killer and convicted sex offender who was sentenced to death in Florida for seven murders committed between 1977 and 1979.
He also pleaded guilty and received a sentence of 25 years to life for two other murders committed in New York.
He was also indicted for a murder in Wyoming, although the charges filed were dropped.
Uh while Alcala has been conclusively linked to eight murders, the true number of victims remains unknown and could be high as 130.
Holy, man, this nigga was going crazy, man.
And you know, once again, guys, I told you guys this before.
I'll say it again.
The um the 1970s was the heyday for sale killers, man.
It was absolutely the heyday.
And actually, matter of fact, guys, let me go ahead and drop this on Twitter that we're live.
Um my JFK post guys got over five million, by the way.
Hold on.
You know what?
We'll go ahead and we will tell the people that we're live.
Hold on, let's go on X right now.
X, boom.
X, boom.
Okay.
Yeah, trip.
Pro tip for you guys.
Um, don't put the link in your original tweet, man.
That fucks your shit up.
Always put the tweet, uh put the link in uh in another post.
Always put another post.
If you put a URL in the tweet, it it kills your your reach, guys.
FY little uh pro tip for you guys if you want to go on Twitter.
So you go, you post, boom, and then you go ahead and comment underneath.
And I'll go YouTube, boom.
And then the real niggas were obviously watching on Rumble.
Boom.
Right?
And then what I'll do is I'll pin this.
Boom.
And then you just go back.
This thought right here.
There's a seat from not drinking.
Dry January.
Bitches in her 40s and single, bro.
Get the fuck out of here, man.
She's just an L. For weeks on weeks, hey, hey, drink it, because let all have kids.
This chick's a loser, bro.
Anyway, um, back to where we were.
So uh obviously this guy might have killed 130 people, but we talked about this guy's in the 1970s.
The 1970s were a crazy time.
The 1970s is when all the top serial killers operated.
Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, um, Samuel Little, the most prolific serial killer of all time, has the most body counts.
That's um confirmed, right?
Um, the rich the torso killer, aka Richard Cottingham, we covered him what la the last time.
Um, you had this guy, Rodney Alcala, you got um who else?
BTK when he originally was killing people before he made a comeback in a in the 2000s.
Um the you can make the argument the Zodiac killer operated in 1970s, but mostly in the 60s.
Um who else?
Who else?
I'm trying to think here.
Who else operated in the 1970s?
Basically, all the top serial killers, guys, all the most famous serial killers operated in the 1970s, right?
All of them.
So, crazy stuff, man.
Crazy stuff.
Inflation was high, economy was terrible.
Uh the mafia was operating at that time.
Um, son of Sam, right?
Uh David Berkowitz operated in the in the 1970s.
So it was a wild time, man.
Absolutely wild time.
Uh back then.
So anyway, you got a video to react to here.
This comes from 48 hours.
I'll be honest with y'all.
I don't know if YouTube will let me play this, but let's go ahead and see.
Um, it's a 42-minute long documentary.
Uh there is a Netflix series right now for this, guys.
Um, it's called, uh, what's it called?
What's it called?
Uh women of the hour.
Yep.
This is the trailer right here for it.
play a little bit of it for you ninjas Did you want me to try it again?
No.
We'll be in touch.
Hey, Cheryl.
Yeah.
No.
No.
Uh oh, uh Janet.
Yeah, so it covers this girl who is like a struggling chick in LA trying to find her way through, and she gets picked to be put on this game show.
Janet.
Janet.
Yes, I said John Wayne Gacy already.
And I said son of Sam.
John Wayne Gacy, aka the killer clown.
All right, folks, you a guest spot on a TV show.
Right, you're here.
Great.
You okay?
Uh huh.
Great.
Have fun.
All right, everybody.
Let's get started.
Yeah, right.
Go.
Why?
Yo, imagine a yo.
This goes to show the craziness of serial killers back then, bro.
These guys were so fucking brazen.
Could you imagine?
Because remember, mind you guys, when he went on this show, he was in the middle of a killing spree.
Okay?
Like he had already killed a bunch of chicks at this point.
Like it's not like he decided, hmm, you know what, this show's gonna give me some clout so I can kill some girls after this.
No, he was in the middle of a killing spree while he was on this show.
Could you imagine?
You've like killed like 20, 30, 40 people, and you're like, oh yeah, let me go on this TV show and get a whole, like, you know, get some clout, and then make it easier for me to kill some girls.
Like, what the hell?
That goes to show how brazen they were in the 1970s.
Wild time, guys.
What a wild time.
It's not three game.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to woman of the hour.
And we've talked about this, uh, guys, why serial killers were out operating so um with so much impunity back in the 1970s.
There was a couple of reasons why.
Number one, police apartments weren't refined and um as advanced yet.
I mean, they didn't have they didn't work together, they didn't have databases yet.
Interstate databases, so a lot of serial killers would avoid capture through going to other states, like a Ted Bunny, Samuel Little, etc.
A lot of these guys would travel.
Second, interstate highways were just became a thing.
Interstate highways made it much easier to travel from state to state, guys.
Okay.
Uh many of the major highways uh systems were completed at this point.
Um, also, um, the uh lack of sophistication with forensics.
Um DNA, though law enforcement was collecting DNA at this time, they didn't have the ability to test it.
Okay, that's why they solved so many of these things, like the gold A state, oh, Golden State Killer, BTK, etc.
They ended up solving those with DNA decades after the fact they were collecting the DNA, but they didn't have a way to actually be able to effectively test it to pinpoint someone on a 99%ile um surety basis.
So that's another reason why a lot of these guys operated with such impunity in the 1970s.
Let the games begin.
Bachelor number one.
This is nice and easy.
What are girls for?
Uh, what do you mean?
Just what I said.
I believe in you, bachelor number one.
Let's go.
When I'm looking.
Bachelor number two.
What are girls for?
Why does this feel like a trap?
See, now look, another notice thing I've noticed, so Rodney used pictures.
He was a photographer, right?
And he would use that to get girls.
Your boy, if you guys watched my um episode on um, what's his name?
Ted Bundy, he also had a trick.
What would he do?
He'd walk on college campuses with a fucking with a cast, right?
And he'd tell the girls, hey, I need help, you're right, because he only has one arm.
And he was, you know, a very well spoken, handsome guy, Ted Bunny, because he was in law school.
And the girls would say, Yeah, sure, I'll help you out.
And they'll go help him, right?
Because he only has one arm and put it put the books in his buggy, and then as soon as she was turning his back, when he opened up the trunk to put the um the books in, he would hit her up crabs the head with the with a crowbar.
Right?
So, a lot of these guys have like a game that they use.
Alcala, what he did was he was a photographer.
That old feeling inside.
I've been on this show since 1968.
The one thing I've learned is no matter what.
And one of the girls in the audience recognized him.
What words they used?
The question beneath the question remains the same.
You know when you're the question?
Which one of you will hurt me?
And Bastler number three.
I'm counting on you.
What are girls for?
Yeah.
So not bad.
I watched the show, guys.
It wasn't bad at all.
Um, you know, you guys could definitely go check it out if you guys want.
But yeah, y'all can see here, like, the dude's not ugly guy, right?
Pause.
Possible supposed to be a pause, right?
For from a 1970s perspective, right?
Because that was like the cool thing back then, the long hair and shit like that.
But uh anyway, let's go ahead and play this.
Hopefully, YouTube doesn't hit me, but we'll see what happens.
And watch this shit on like 1.25 speed.
Los Angeles.
Received a call of beige colored car with no license.
Uh, Chris Camacho is his name.
Let me move my mug out the way.
There we go.
I think that might be better.
Lights.
Following this uh little girl in Los Angeles.
Also, guys, do me a favor.
If you're watching the stream on YouTube, like the video.
Let's move this up in the algorithm.
Also, um, because I see some of you guys are joining now.
Uh if you're watching the show, MarianGainesX.com is the way to super chat.
Um, if you want a super chat on Castle Club, you can.
It's easier on Myron Gaines X, but um, you know, however you want to do it.
I can't pull out, says Mara, uh, Martin, I'm Mexican American.

Thanks.
Bro, gang, stand up.
Uh, if you're Mexican American, bro, you got nothing to worry about.
Uh, Manifest says, uh, Myron W Federac, fuck them girls.
It's awesome that uh just watching you actually enjoy making content instead of dealing with the real force.
Side note, I'm from Puerto Rico, and they already go on crazy deporting undocumented Haitians and Dominicans.
It's shocking to see how many of them there are.
I ain't even fathom how many of them are in the U.S. I know, bro.
It's a lot of them.
Send them back though.
So in 1968, eight-year-old Tally Shapiro was walking to school when a car.
Okay, so this is one of the victims that was not shown in the in the Netflix documentary.
This girl.
You guys are crying about the fucking audio.

Give me, give me ones if the audio is uh good.
Give me twos if the audio is bad.
God damn it, man.
This shit always fucking happens every show, man.
Bro, audio's low.

That's why.
I'm gonna end the other one.

Then I'm gonna deal with the audio.
Let me call Bills real quick.
Zenigas is always bitching about the audio for some odd reason.
Give me one sec, chat.
Your call has been forwarded to an automated.
I was just on the phone with him.
Your call has been forwarded to an automated.
Alright, Julian Rey says, in-screen video audio is on the lower side, but by no means unintelligible.
People are biliacking and it picking.
Yeah, they are, bro.
They really are.
Alright, So I got uh I went ahead and I lowered the um I deleted the other event chat.
So that should bring some people over so they won't be confused.
Um so that's fixed.
And then what else do we gotta do?
So sorry for that confusion, chat.
That's not that's that's my bad because someone made a goddamn double event.
What else do we gotta do?
Okay, you guys want me to fix this audio here?
Okay, so we got it at the highest thing.
I'm trying to figure out, guys, because I got the audio high, bro.
Like I legit got it as as high as possible.
They're saying your audio is good, but YouTube vid audio is low.
I don't know how to hire it, guys.
How do I increase it?
Download volume master extension on Chrome to increase video volume.
Volume master extension.
Alright, let me open up a tab and try to do that shit for you guys.
It's called what?
Master extension on Chrome?
Master extension on Chrome?
Okay.
Master.
Extension.
Let's see.
Add to Chrome.
Add extension.
Hey, be quiet, nigga.
Yes, I'm in.
I guess yes, I'm in.
Is that better?
Is that better, Chad?
I just increased it a little bit.
Uh and the fact that he got into Columbia, guys, shows that the guy is not a dumbass.
He's actually very smart.
He had an IQ, if I'm not mistaken, of like 120, 130.
Let me look this up.
Yeah, 130.
So he's pretty smart.
Very smart.
Alright.
Yes, I uh okay.
Volume is better now?
Okay, good, good, good, good, good, good.
Good.
Turn up more?
Some of y'all niggas got some.
Yo, what is so what are you guys listening on?
Are you guys like listening on uh uh on some like fucking so many headphones from 2000 winners and shit?
The ones that go over your head?
Like, I be wondering what the hell you guys be listening to this podcast on.
Some of y'all niggas be using some fucking bullshit headphones you brought from Chinatown or something, bro.
Like, what the fuck is wrong?
So oh yo, it's Chris and Moore, bro.
My voice sucks to Chris Amor.

You guys are deaf.
Here, I'll bring it all the way up to 310 for you niggas, man.
You deaf motherfuckers.
God damn, man.
There you go.
You think it's happy now?
You deaf motherfuckers.
Niggas over here using those pieces shit headphones from Chinatown or some shit and wonder why they can't hear nothing.
Fuck it, bums.
A whole serial killers love to do is like bite their victims.
You as you guys know, this is how Ted Bunny actually got caught.
He bit one of his victims' ass cheeks, and they use that against them at trial, and they were able to uh they got a forensic orthodontist, and he's able to show that the bite marks matched his teeth.
First time ever done in a trial, by the way.
Oh, for since you since you young niggas know everything, how the fuck do I hide this shit?
How do I get this off the screen so you guys have a full screen here?
Because now that I got this fucking extension thing here, I can't get it off.
How do I get that off the screen chat?
Let's see if you smart asses niggas use the best extension.
So how the fuck do I get this shit off the screen, smart asses?
F-11.
Yeah, and this keyboard don't got F11, nigga.
Give me give me another option.
This keyboard don't got F11, nigga.
Right click maybe L screen.
Hey, hey, Frank.
Shut up, nigga.
We'll go outside after.
Fever gonna crush.
Well, obviously, the course of that.
and then the stream ends, then you want to fucking uh cry.
Tranquilate for kidnapping and assaulting an eight-year-old sick bastard.
That's what happens, guys, when the government doesn't have um witnesses, man.
People walk.
Three dot settings and click full screen.
Who's there three dots?
Bro, I don't see no three dots nowhere.
Right here.
uh let's see here No, bro, there's no there's no full screen, I guess.
He was hired by the Los Angeles Times to work as a as a typesetter.
He took photos at weddings, and uh he was a registered sex offender during all of that.
Refresh?
I don't know if that's gonna do anything.
Let's see.
Oh, wow.
Um, here, let's read some of these chats real quick.
Um we got here, HK99 says.
Uh Myron, you made two streams on YouTube.
I was waiting for 24 minutes, thought you want to make a time.
Yep, we fixed that one already.
HK, thank you for letting me know.
Um we got your boy Lem says, uh, Myron, I'm surprised you kicked that girl out next to Fresh that looked like Icy.
She was actually quiet and now arguing like the rest of the girl roaches you kicked out.
Yeah, but bro, I just was tired of talking to all of them.
Uh Jesus the kid goes, uh audio is always low when you do solo streams, but it always sounds good when you stream with all of FNF.
If you play one from each, you'll hear the difference.
Okay.
I think we fixed it though.
Um HK again says, we can hear you fine, just have to put it on like 6070 compare it to other videos, or streams is just generically low, might be uh might gain or somewhere software use.
All right.
Xander says, uh, hey Ninjas, do you see that button on the left side of your phone?
Uh, right side, it's the Android.
Yeah, that button.
Press it and stop complaining.
Okay.
I don't have an Android, so I'm not sure.
Um, WCC, yo, I was trying to super chat into the late night show to let the other girls know that since Roe v.
Wade was overturned, there were far rights that were trying to get abortion in the United States completely abolished to keep that from happening.
Trump had to turn it on to the state.
Says they keep blaming him.
Yeah, they always do, bro.
Um also the reason the people have their power on decisions like this is because the clinics who do the uh procedure are funded by the taxpayer, W Democracy.
Okay.
Manifest says, if it's Mozilla, Martin option button top right.
Oh, it's not Mozilla, though.
Leon Phelps says, Part two.
That all being said, Trump actually saved the right to abort.
Dumb 304s have no clue about how our government and laws work in the US.
L34 ignorance.
Yes, they're stupid, bro.
Uh, not a fat fucking psych from cyber.
Okay.
Uh Nelsonville, Villa says, Myron, my wife worked for Zook for years.
Oh, Zuck.
Okay.
I can indeed confirm he is a cuck.
He snores loud and would on a daily basis get kicked out of his own bed to sleep in the guest room.
His wife would make him smile her photos, then immediately turn to a bitch.
Wow.
damn Nelson Villa, holy.
What did your wife do for Zuckerberg that she knows this type level of info, bro?
The fuck?
That's very personal shit.
It's funny how we don't have serial killers around this time.
They don't even want to deal with a woman now.
Stick a chip.
Say chip funny, bro.
So they don't even want to deal with the women anymore.
I guess it's too much work, huh?
Back in the 1970s, it's very important for you guys to know.
They used to collect the um, you know, whether it be blood, semen, urine, whatever.
They used to collect that stuff from the crime scenes back then, but they didn't have the ability to effectively test it to the same um accuracy that we have now with DNA.
So what would end up happening is they have this stuff, and then once the technology comes out where they can effectively test it and be able to pinpoint to someone, then they test a dec they test it decades later.
So that's how they were able to take these old cases from the 70s and almost solve them because they have they finally had the DNA um expert uh DNA technology to be able to like pinpoint it towards someone.
They did this, did this with BTK.
That's how they're able to catch BTK.
His daughter, right?
Funny story for you guys.
I'll go ahead and explain this real fast.
So the way they caught BTK was um the bound uh uh bound torture and kill, the guy from uh Kansas.
He went ahead and he killed a family back in the 1970s, right?
And um he left semen at the crime scene.
They collected that semen back in the 1970s.
I think it was like 1974.
Fast forward into the early 2000s, they think that it's him.
They suspect that he's he's the guy.
So what they do is they go, his daughter had been at the University of Kansas, if I'm not mistaken, and she had done a um, she had gone for like an STI test or to get blood drawn or whatever.
So they took her DNA and they compared it to the DNA found from the crime scene in the 1970s, and it matched, right?
And they're able to go ahead and get an arrest warrant and go get them picked up.
But that's because they had the ability to test DNA with uh effective accuracy decades later.
So you're gonna notice that in the early 2000s, um, and even in some cases, the 90s, they're able to link these uh serial killers back to the crimes that they did decades prior.
Examining the witnesses that you terrorized as the attorney.
That's crazy, bro.
That's crazy, man.
So you said that I attacked and raped your daughter.
Tell me about that.
How'd you find out?
And Ted Bundney famously did this, guys.
Um, when he was an attorney, well, sorry, when he represented himself, he would ask them very um strange questions.
He asked one of the detectives actually very strange questions, and you would force the detective to go into extreme detail, and you can almost see him like salivating at like how he's describing the crime scene, and you can see Ted Bunny like almost reliving it.
Right there as he's cross-examining.
Weirdos, man.
Absolute weirdos.
Some of them deserve the Quelcomb punch.
But when they're the fucking attorney, right?
They're they're the defendant and the attorney, they have this level of power.
It's like the niggas got the game shock on and they're cheating, right?
Sam So's mother to the stand.
Oh.
Fatality.
Oh shit.
Bro.
Wow.
Okay.
So let me explain this.
When you testify in court chat, right?
Your character is everything.
So if they're able to, if the if the person that's cross-examining you, whether it be a defense attorney or a prosecutor, because they're typically the ones that are um that are questioning you.
So in this case is gonna be Rodney himself, the uh questioning you almost as a defense attorney because he's defending himself, but he's acting as his own counsel, so he's the defense attorney questioning you, right?
Your job is to tarnish the credibility of the witness on the stand.
So you can either do it by proving that they're a liar, you can show an instance where they lied before and totally destroy them, especially if it's a law enforcement official.
If it's a law enforcement official, they're gonna lose their job.
You can prove they're a liar, right?
Because their credibility is gone, and that's the main reason why they're there.
Or you could do it where you could show some of their behaviors or behavior pattern shows that they're not necessarily of the um highest esteem.
In this situation, he took her rightful rage, right?
Where she showed up with a gun to court, which I would say is reasonable.
You killed the fucking chick's daughter, right?
You violently killed her daughter, who's a child, by the way, you sick fuck.
She shows up with a gun and he uses that to disqualify and impeach her character.
Mind you, this is the mother of the victim who's had to go through like two or three different trials with you.
She has to relive the nightmare all the time.
And you use that against her as a defense attorney.
Bro, that's fucking evil, this guy, man.
Holy wow.
She didn't deny.
With his execution suspended by California's death penalty moratorium, Rodney Alcala died of natural cause in 2021 at the age of 77.
*Music*
Yeah, man.
Crazy, crazy stuff, guys.
Crazy stuff.
Um, and let me go ahead here.
Hold on.
There was another video I want to show you, ninjas.
It was Law and Order, there we go.
So everything Netflix's woman of the hour got wrong about the serial killer Rodney Alcala.
So, guys, if you haven't seen this, I don't want to ruin it.
Spoiler alert.
This is gonna spoil the Netflix special for you.
So this part of the stream, you can tune out if you guys want.
We're gonna go ahead and go over um what the Netflix series got wrong.
All right.
And bachelor number three, I'm counting on you.
What are girls for?
Anakin Hendrick's directorial debut of the Netflix film Woman of the Hour explores one of the most bizarre moments in TV history.
And serial killer Rodney Alcala wins.
That's wild, dude.
This guy was on the run, killing people, and you say, you know what?
Let me go on this dating show, man.
Fuck it.
I don't know I'm gonna be in front of everybody, even though I've done all this crazy shit.
Let me go to go on TV.
Bro, this dude got balls of steel for doing that shit, bro.
Date on the 1970s game show, The Dating Game.
Long crime brought you Alcala's story in an episode of I survived a serial killer.
When we have the chance to talk to survivors and the lead investigative team on the case.
In September of 1978, Rodney Alcala is on parole.
He is a convicted sex offender, and he goes on a dating game show.
The arrogance to actually go on television in front of the whole country.
I'm saying, bro.
Well, on the run from the cops, like that takes some crazy balls, man.
Looking for more women.
Will that date be?
Bachelor number one, bachelor number two, or bachelor number three.
Who gets the dates?
Well, I like bananas, so I'll take one.
Number one!
Bachelor number one, alright.
Well, say hello to Rodney Alcala.
Rodney's hello.
Congratulations, Rod, you did it with the one answer.
But for Kendrick's Netflix film, it's told through the eyes of real-life contestant Cheryl Bradshaw as it captures her eerie encounter with Alcala, which she was fortunate enough to survive.
A bachelor number one.
I am serving you for dinner.
Oh.
What are you called?
And what do you look like?
I'm called the banana, and uh look really good.
What the fuck, bro?
Uh, can you be a little more descriptive?
Peel me.
See, that's funny.
Let's see you figure out that this nigga's a serial killer.
Wait, oh, Pilby has a little bit more of a nefarious uh background.
In the episode of the game show, which aired back in 1978, Bradshaw and Alcala engaged in playful banter, eventually leading her to ultimately pick him as a suitable date.
But it was a date she later decided not to go on.
It was a decision that ultimately may have saved her life.
Facts.
The violent serial killer and sex offender was definitely saved their life, bro.
To the murders of seven women and one girl across three states.
But authorities believe the actual number of victims could be as high as a hundred and thirty.
So how accurate is the Netflix film?
Cheryl Bradshaw in the Netflix film is described as a serious actress who has done stage work in New York and decided to move to LA to get into the film industry.
But as an actress, casting directors pressured her to perform nude, which she refused, and in turn it held her back from getting certain casting opportunities.
Here's a young lady with a wealth of experience.
She wants to earned a living, massaging thieves, but she quit when her boss suggested that she worked her way up.
Then she taught school in Phoenix, Arizona, now she's here to educate our three batteries.
That's funny.
Work her way up from feet.
We all know what that means.
Welcome if you will, sensational Cheryl Bradshaw.
Here's what we know about the real Cheryl, who in real life spelled her name with the C instead of an S. She's described as having once earned a living as a footmasure and was an inspiring actress.
But when it came to the Netflix film, Anna Kendrick told People magazine, she didn't have much to go on, and the film's character really is an imagined version of the real 1970s woman, as there's very little public information about the real Cheryl's life before the dating game.
Number one, would you say hello to Cheryl, please?
We're gonna have a great time together, Cheryl.
As for the murderer Rodney Alcala, one minor detail that was changed in the film was the order in which he appeared as a contestant.
In the film, he's named as Bachelor No.
But in the real episode, he was actually Bachelor Number One.
Bachelor number one is a successful photographer who got his start when his father found him in the dark room at the age of 13, fully developed.
Between takes, he might find him skydiving or motorcycling.
Please welcome Rodney Alcala.
Rod welcome.
This detail was likely changed to build up the suspense when Alcala was finally announced.
In the film, he was introduced as a man who worked at the LA Times.
But in real life, he was introduced as a professional photographer.
Before his appearance on the dating show, there's a scene in the film that depicts Alcala working at the Times in 1977.
The scene depicts Alcala showing off images of his photography collection of women, many of whom were naked.
But it turns out Alcala actually did work at the LA Times, not as a photographer, but as a typesetter.
In a 2020 episode, it was revealed that he did apparently bring in photos of nude women into the office, though these were reportedly seen as artistic in nature and not as a warning sign of something dark.
Yeah, artistic in nature, LOL.
To come.
Bachelor number one.
Yes.
What's your best time?
The best time is at night.
Nighttime.
Why do you say that?
Because that's the only time there is.
The only time?
What's wrong with uh morning, afternoon?
Well, they're okay, but nighttime's when it really gets good.
Then you're really ready.
In the film when Alcala makes his appearance in the fictionalized taping of the dating game episode, he says he studied at NYU with infamous film director Roman Polanski.
And it turns out this is only partially true.
Alcala did actually enroll at NYU, but he did not actually complete his studies there.
It's unclear if the murderer actually ever crossed paths with Polanski.
And in a shocking scene, a woman in the audience has a panic attack after recognizing Alcala as a man who had approached her and her friend on a beach the day before her friend is murdered.
She tells the security guard she needs to speak with the show's producer, but she's never able to do so.
But this scene never happened in real life.
The dire Okay, that's good to know.
I was wondering if that was true.
Director Anna Kendrick told Rolling Stone Magazine, this character was actually a composite, meant to represent people who attempted to report Alcala over the years and were ignored.
Except their name, age, occupation, or income.
Okay.
When it came time to ask her mystery suitors' questions on the dating show in real life, which was heavy on sexual innuendo, the questions were all scripted by the show's producers.
And I'm going to audition each of you for my private class.
Bachelor number one.
Hey, you're a red dirty old man.
Take it.
Come on over here.
The fuck, nigga?
Yo.
By the Woman of the Hour, Kendrick opted to have her character come up with her own questions to The Bachelors, which she said veered away from the show's superficial and at times sexist nature.
As to why Kendrick had her character ask her own questions, Tony Hale, the actor who played game show host Jim Lang, told USA Today, that was a great device Anna used to show how this character's opportunity to turn the tables on that sexist culture, even if in the end it does bring her closer to that dangerous place, because it leads her to pick Rodney.
Another creepy scene in the film just before the taping begins involves Alcala telling Bachelor No.
2 Jed Mills, W sexism for the 1970s, bro.
I always get the girl.
But at the end of the episode, when Cheryl makes her choice, as the losing bachelors each kiss her goodbye, Mills is seen whispering to her a warning about her chosen date.
You didn't choose number two, but you had to find acting job as a Okay, so this is a guy I remember he like apparently Rodney was like threatening him during the show.
And he whispers to her, hey, watch out, that guy's a weirdo.
So let's see if that's true.
Virgin Maiden.
He is an actor, a skin diver from New York City.
Say hi to Jed Mills.
Jed, come on and meet you.
Thank you.
So did this really happen?
It's not clear if Mills ever did warn Cheryl, but he later told reporters he had serious reservations about Alcala.
He told 2020 Alcala was creepy, definitely creepy, and that Alcala did indeed say to him that he always gets the girl in the green room.
Mills also told TNN in March of 2010 that he had been creeped out by Alcala recording.
Also in the show, he sh he showed him pictures of the women that he had tied up and assaulted in the in the in the Netflix special.
So let's see if that's true.
Calling there was something about him, and he could not be near him.
In the film, Cheryl makes her match.
Well, as far as I can see, Cheryl and Rodney, it looks like the two of you may be involved in some sort of racket.
So we're going to have you take to the court.
First, you'll receive tennis lessons from expert Naomi Baser of the famous Kirkwood Tennis Club.
That starts.
And you'll soon be hasting everyone off the courts, and it'll make sure you both look as professionalized become complete tennis outfits will be provided by Bill Darling's tennis shop.
It'll really make you look like part of the racket set.
Then it's off the magic mod, one of America's greatest and most complete amusement parts with plenty of excitement to challenge any daring day, like the revolution that'll help you turn the down upside down.
And of course, the world's greatest roller coaster, the collapse.
Magic mod, just a half an hour north of Hollywood, California.
So half my play, tennis.
Thank you.
Okay.
You can go relax, meet each other, say hello, get acquainted.
After she picks Alcala, the film shows the two of them going out for a drink, where she becomes uncomfortable when he insists on ordering another round after she has already declined.
She then tells the contestant coordinator that she's put off by him and does not wish to see him again.
But how accurate is this?
In real life, that date never took place.
And this was confirmed by the coordinator herself, Ellen Metzger.
Mesker told 2020 that Cheryl said to her, quote, Ellen, I can't go out with this guy.
There's weird vibes that are coming off of him.
He's very strange.
I am not comfortable.
Is that going to be a problem?
To which Metzger told her it would of course not be.
One huge question...
Interesting that that wasn't true.
...lingers.
How did Alcala, who was actually a convicted sex offender at the time, even land a spot on the dating game?
The movie depicts the producer selecting Alcala for the show without doing any background check at all.
And this is entirely true.
Before Alcala even went on the show, he had served 34 months in prison for sexually assaulting and beating an 8-year-old girl.
That was the Shapiro girl that we talked about before, chat.
So where there are more survivors of this monstrous murderer, the Netflix show focuses on Cheryl Bradshaw, but there were even more women who had near fatal encounters with the serial killer.
My name is Morgan Rowan, and I survived a serial killer.
Morgan Rowan met Rodney Alcala at a house party before his appearance on the dating game.
And she described the encounter that almost ended her life.
I don't or can't remember much of the rape other than his face really close to mine and how animal he looked rather than human.
I was fighting pretty hard, but he just lifted me by my hair and punched me in the stomach.
And I could feel my ribs breaking.
But suddenly there was a whole lot of commotion.
Glass break.
My friend had broken his bedroom window, and I could feel air.
Cool air.
Everybody ran into the room, and he was just standing there naked from the waist down with my blood all over his shirt.
Thank God her friends broke in.
And he said, take her.
Another woman, Tali Shapiro, also detailed her frightening experience when she was just a little girl, years before Alcala ever appeared on the dating game.
Pretty much after walking through the front door, I don't recollect anything.
After being kidnapped by the serial killer, she was taken to a house where she was assaulted and brutalized.
I received a radio message about a possible kidnapping to a Remember this is the uh the cop that found Shapiro, uh, the eight-year-old, the the first one that he liked he had assaulted.
So two officers came to assist me, and I started knocking on the door.
I thought she was dead.
Thoughts flip through my mind.
Who could do this to a little girl?
What kind of a person is capable of that?
So how did Rodney Alcala get caught?
The film depicts a scene where Alcala picks up a teenage girl in his car by telling her he is a model scout and shows her photos of women he claims to have discovered.
She gets in his car and shortly thereafter he knocks her to the ground.
The next morning when she wakes up with Alcala, he drives back toward LA and stops at a gas station where the girl slips away, and Alcala is met with sirens and handcuffed by police.
This incident is true.
In 1979, Alcala really did pick up 15-year-old Monique Hoyt while she was hitchhiking.
She did manage to escape him by telling him she wanted to continue the relationship, and she did raise the alarm.
Although in real life, police did not arrive on time at the gas station to arrest Alcala at the exact same time.
Hoyt even testified during a 2010 trial to determine whether Alcala should receive the death penalty for the rape and murder of four women and a 12-year-old girl.
And it was the investigation into the 12-year-old's death that would lead police to Alcala.
He didn't care what anybody thought.
Approximately a year after this dating game appearance, 12-year-old Robin Samso was on the beach with her friend, and she was approached by a young man who claimed to be a photographer.
One of the moms in the neighborhood saw this because it looked creepy and approached this man who kind of scurried off down the beach.
A short time later, Robin borrowed Fred's bicycle and she was going to a classroom.
The operating theory is that this man came up and offered her a ride to the ballet lesson.
She actually got into his car voluntarily, so she wouldn't be late.
and she was never seen alive again on july 2nd a forest worker found a tennis shoe that belonged to robin samso and human skull Robin Samson's friend who actually saw this photographer approach and say, I want to take your picture, Matt with a forensic sketch arts.
The best serial killers always have some type of ploy that they use.
John Wayne Gacy used to attack teenage boys used to get them to work for his um construction company, right?
Um, Ted Bundy, he used to tell them, Hey, I need help.
Uh my arm is broken, I got a cast.
Um, Rodney Alcala, obviously used the whole uh ploy of hey, I'm a photographer slash model discoverer.
Let me help you out.
Um, who else?
I'm trying to think some of the um Jeffrey Dahmer used to go out on dates, right?
And pretend that they were like uh he was he was homosexual, so he would break take these guys out on dates, right?
Um trying to think what other big serial killers there were.
Uh Zodiac killer?
Uh, then it goes on some other shit, man.
He didn't even need to use any of that stuff.
They still haven't caught him to this day.
Um but he was a bit different.
Uh torso killer, kill prostitutes.
Right.
Say he would give them a bunch of money, he'd always splash money.
So they always use some type of trick to get them in.
Actually did a composite drawing of the suspect, and this composite drawing was circulated.
A parole officer said, Hey, you know, I got a parolee.
His name is Rodney James Alcala.
Uh, he fits this crime signature.
You might want to check him out.
And right after getting the tip, one of these hunting the beach detectives turned on the TV, and that was the day that the dating game episode aired again.
I'll take one.
Number one, that's her number one.
All right.
Congratulations, right?
You did it with the one answer.
And sure enough, it looks like the sketch.
Rodney Alcala was arrested soon after that.
You can check out more of that episode and more.
I survived a serial killer streaming on AE.
Rodney Alcala died of natural causes in July 2021 at the age of 77 while on Death Row in California.
And it's been reported.
Cheryl Bradshaw passed away before production on Woman of the Hour began.
