Gaslit couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m sure the powers that be behind this eight-part limited series about the Watergate break-in and the aftermath weren’t anticipating the Jan. 6 hearings to happen during the series’ initial broadcast. When filming began in the summer of 2021, the Jan. 6 insurrection coup attempt was stillContinue reading “Broadcasting ‘Gaslit’ At Perfect Time”

Guilty Or Not: O.J.’s Legacy Will Always Be About The Murders Of Nicole Brown And Ron Goldman
The first time I ever heard anything about O.J. Simpson being suspected of murder in the death of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown, I was glancing down at a copy of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. It was a rainy Tuesday afternoon. I was taking driver’s ed over the summer and had just come home. The story wasContinue reading “Guilty Or Not: O.J.’s Legacy Will Always Be About The Murders Of Nicole Brown And Ron Goldman”
The Gaslighting Of A Violent Insurrection Attempt
One thing I’ve learned in my life is whenever someone knows they’re wrong, they will do anything and everything to tell you that you’re the one who’s wrong. I was working at a job during the summer of 1994 where one of the managers of K-Mart whose idea of being a supervisor was to yellContinue reading “The Gaslighting Of A Violent Insurrection Attempt”
‘Girl From Plainville’ Stretches TV Movie Premise Very Thin Into Overlong Limited Series
Warning: This post contains references to a true-case about suicide. Once upon a time, there was a thing called a miniseries. Usually, these TV programs would air two hours in prime time over two, three or four nights. Sometimes, they were bold enough to go longer than that. But usually that was when the storyContinue reading “‘Girl From Plainville’ Stretches TV Movie Premise Very Thin Into Overlong Limited Series”
‘Land Of Mine’ Exposes Savagery Of War Falls On The Innocents
Two wrongs don’t make a right, as the old saying goes. What happened during World War II by the Axis of Evil was wrong. But that doesn’t mean the Allied Forces didn’t do some horrible things in retalliation. Monday was the 78th anniversary of Operation Overlord, aka D-Day, when American forces led an invasion onContinue reading “‘Land Of Mine’ Exposes Savagery Of War Falls On The Innocents”
Passing The Torch Is Useless If You Extinguish The Flame
This week, the House select committee to investigate the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection coup attempt will meet and have prime-time hearings aired. For some this is a throw back to the Watergate or Iran-Contra Affair hearings being aired. Or as Roger Daltrey sang, “Meet the new boss/Same as the old boss.” And of course, weContinue reading “Passing The Torch Is Useless If You Extinguish The Flame”
No Real Winner In Depp/Heard Case
The Depp v. Heard case will probably divide people for decades to come and I anticipate law professors will be spending the summer reading up on it as they will be discussing it in the Fall. It raises a lot of question on where we draw the line on journalistic integrity and what we canContinue reading “No Real Winner In Depp/Heard Case”
Romanticizing The Police Has Led To Expectations They Can’t (And Don’t Want To) Uphold
WARNING: This post does contain some references to sexual assault, domestic abuse and child abuse cases!! In the past eight days as the events of the massacre at Uvalde Robb Elementary School become more clearer, a lot of people are still wrecking their brains over why the Uvalde Police Department and the Uvalde School DistrictContinue reading “Romanticizing The Police Has Led To Expectations They Can’t (And Don’t Want To) Uphold”
It’s Insane Why We Don’t Take Mental Health More Seriously
I know that it’s gotten to a point where every month, every week, every day it seems is Something Something Day, Week or Month. But since it is Memorial Day today and May is Mental Health Awareness Month, both of them seem to go hand and hand. Ask yourself. How many people buried at ArlingtonContinue reading “It’s Insane Why We Don’t Take Mental Health More Seriously”
‘Angelyne’ Is A Muddled Mess About Celebrity Sensationalism
Peacock’s Angelyne limited series spends about four hours telling you what you can easily find out in four minutes of a Wikipedia search. Hollywood is a very incestuous industry and I’m sure after hearing Netflix was doing a limited series about Anna Delvey; Hulu was doing a limited series about Elizabeth Holmes and Candy Montgomery,Continue reading “‘Angelyne’ Is A Muddled Mess About Celebrity Sensationalism”
