I somehow knew the basics of the whole Burke and Hare murder stuff through cultural osmosis I guess. I don't think I ever saw a movie or documentary about it.
I somehow got that Burke was executed cause Hare turned evidence on him. But Hare ultimately didn't get away with it. Dr Knox survived rather scathed but still working in the doctoring sphere. I just thought he went on to not be an asshole after this... but everyone involved in this was shit.

Not sure what to make of that ending TBH.

Of course the end of the movie is a perfect metaphor for how we still let powerful people get away with theft and murder and they get applauded for it

I am disappoint

Still, thanks @ryan for hosting and everyone for posting! Time to move on to happier forms of entertainment, accompanied by food 😀 See y'all next week!

In the end Dr Knox turned over a new leaf and worked to be a better person and tried to-- OH FUCK. He was even worse after this. He fucked off into being a "scientific racist"

I wonder why Dr. Knox cares about his reputation all of a sudden?

In the end Cushing lives on as a scary story told to children.

Would anybody in this angry mob be interested in some offing of a head?
