Hot Project ‘Cold Blooded: The Apollo Gym Murders,’ In Which An Ex-Cop Podcaster Teamed With A Detective To Solve A 40-Year Old Murder

Exclusive: CAA will be shopping Cold Blooded: The Apollo Gym Murders, based on a 10-episode podcast by Scott Weinberger about the 40-year old cold case murder of a Florida bodybuilder, bound with his throat slashed in his townhouse in Miramar.
Framed around a decade of drug trafficking and steroid-fueled scary guys who shook down drug dealers, the podcast paints a picture of a series of brutal murders of members of a hardcore bodybuilder gym. The gym was a front for crime, and one of its owners had mob ties, and the other was an ex-police officer once called the meanest cop in Florida, with a long string of arrests and allegations of police brutality. The gym was a front for unsavory criminal activity and strong-arming, much of it perpetrated by the gym members who lifted heavy weights and competed in local bodybuilding competitions.
