A Spell Binding True Crime Story Right in Your Own Backyard? – Sandy & Polly #5: The Explosive Informer.Digital Files
(The following article is a work of satire. Any resemblance to actual office memos, missing donuts, or suspicious coworkers is purely coincidental…probably)
POLLY: If you’re in the mood for a true crime story without spending a single cent, grab your snack of choice and settle in—because today’s theme is free-to-stream drama that feels a little too close to home.
SANDY: That’s right. We were planning to do our usual roundup of what’s new and noteworthy on Tubi TV, and we still are.
But, uh… things around here? They’ve taken a turn into a true crime story of their own.
POLLY: Which is why we’re starting with four true crime docuseries currently streaming for free on Tubi:
Fear Thy Neighbor: Where petty arguments become full-blown vendettas.
See No Evil: Surveillance always knows what you did.
Forensic Files: Follow the science, find the motive, cue the dramatic voiceover.
The First 48: A high-pressure story where you solve the case or lose the trail. Fast.
SANDY: Great shows. Highly recommend all of them. But the reason we’re bringing them up isn’t just because they’re binge-worthy.
It’s because…I think we’re in a true crime story.
POLLY: Yep. Informer.Digital has gone full true crime story.
We’ve got mystery, betrayal, a budget-slashing memo, and—according to Wacky Benny—an inside plot to devalue the company for a hostile takeover.
SANDY: Okay, we get it, we know we’re using Wacky Benny as a source but hear us out.
Wacky Benny says someone’s pulling strings to make it look like the company’s losing money.
And after watching Fear Thy Neighbor, I believe him. All it takes is one missing donut and suddenly we’re characters in a true crime story.
POLLY: Not to mention See No Evil. I’m pretty sure someone’s watching us in the break room.
Either that or the security cam is just there for moral support in this true crime story.
SANDY: And let’s not forget Forensic Files. That show taught me it’s always the tiniest clue that cracks the case.
A donut crumb. A lipstick print. A mysteriously missing ring light. Coincidence? I think not.
Classic true crime story.
POLLY: But the real twist? The new memo.
The one that says we’re supposed to “share opinions that aren’t necessarily our own” if it boosts ratings.
Sounds like the making of a very modern true crime story.
SANDY: Or a Cable News Network. Where truth belongs in quotation marks.
POLLY: And not our truth. Their truth. Whoever they are.
SANDY: At first I thought this was just a weird new direction.
But now?
Now I think we’re in the opening scene of The First 48: The Informer.Digital True Crime Story Edition.
POLLY: Clock’s ticking. We’ve got 48 hours to solve the mystery of who’s rewriting our talking points before they replace us with AI hosts named Sandy 2.0 and Polly Prime.
Just another day in our true crime story.
SANDY: Which is why we’ll keep doing what we do best: giving you honest recommendations.
And today’s truth?
All four of those shows are streaming for free right now on Tubi. That’s four chances to watch a true crime story with an ending—unlike ours.
POLLY: And if you notice any suspicious behavior in our segment… don’t worry. It’s probably just part of the show.
SANDY: Or it’s new evidence and the true crime story continues.
POLLY: Either way, grab the popcorn. The crime drama is coming from inside the office. And it’s starting to feel like the most binge-worthy true crime story yet.
(But keep the lights on in the break room just in case)
