As far as documentaries go, Trainwreck: Storm Area 51 had just about everything. Greed. Fame-seekers. Idiots. Local yokels. Heck, even death threats.

Who’s the real boogeyman behind the Tylenol poisonings of the early 1980s? Was it James Lewis, the man who sent an extortion letter to Johnson & Johnson demanding $1 million to make the killings stop? Or was it the company itself? Were their safety protocols not as sound as theyContinue Reading
I have to admit, when the first season of The Playboy Murders premiered in 2023, I had no idea there would be enough cases to extend it to a season 3. But guess what? There are. Holly Madison (who’s also executive producer) once again hosts the series, which returns toContinue Reading
Full disclosure, I don’t know just how big a buzz The Age of Disclosure created at this year’s South by Southwest Film Festival (SXSW). My estimation is based on what I saw this weekend, which was a lot of articles about the UFO documentary from those in the know, likeContinue Reading
Netflix is usually pretty good about including trigger warnings on its content.

But they’re different, too. Let’s explore. About The LadyContinue Reading
Who knew that when The Curious Case of Natalia Grace premiered, it would spawn two follow-up seasons, Natalia Speaks and The Final Chapter? Well, maybe the producers did. But maybe it was two too many? I don’t know, but now the producers are launching a new series in the sameContinue Reading
If you’ve been eager to find out why Natalia Speaks wouldn’t be the final word in the Natalia Grace saga, your wait is almost over. ID just dropped the teaser for The Curious Case of Natalia Grace: The Final Chapter, which ID is calling the third and final installment inContinue Reading
Technically, The Manhattan Alien Abduction is a good docuseries if you measure it by its binge-ability. It was on my Halloween must-binge list, and I gobbled up all three episodes of the Netflix documentary pretty much in one sitting. (Except for breaks to hand out candy to trick-or-treaters.) But it’sContinue Reading
Are there any serial killer cases, whether solved or unsolved, that you’re just done with hearing about at this point? They’ve been analyzed and talked about to death. Can’t we just move on? I feel that way about two cases: Jack the Ripper and the Zodiac Killer case. I wasContinue Reading
2024’s Fantastic Fest –one of the largest horror and sci-fi film festivals in the world— offered tons of fantastic premieres, including hits like Terrifier 3 and V/H/S Beyond. But one of the festival’s coolest films was an under-the-radar gem, Strange Harvest: Occult Murder in the Inland Empire. Horror fans areContinue Reading
