022 Reenactments, Raincoats, and Robert Stack: The Unsolved Mysteries Episode

November 13, 2025 • Michelle • Episode 22

Michelle and Cherie head back to the shadowy world of Unsolved Mysteries, the show that made us afraid of our own front porches. Remember Robert Stack in that trench coat? The fog? The synthesizer theme that made you swear someone was standing right behind you?

This week, the sisters relive the nights when reruns of Unsolved Mysteries had them double-checking door locks and side-eyeing neighbors. They dig into what made the show so addictive — from the haunting reenactments and inexplicable true crime stories to the totally random celebrity appearances (yes, Matthew McConaughey pops up). There’s also a surprising detour into small-town churches, miracle “survivors,” and how 80s TV somehow made paranoia feel patriotic.

So grab a flashlight and your best 1980s cable-knit sweater — we’re solving the mystery of why Unsolved Mysteries still holds up.
