470: What Happened to Karen Silkwood? The Lost Tapes

Tue, 18 Nov 2025

On November 28, 1974, 28-year-old Karen Silkwood was killed in a car wreck on Highway 74 near Crescent, Oklahoma. Her death was officially ruled an accident. But her friends, family, and co-workers knew the real story: she had been killed for what she knew - and what she was about to do about it. In her car was a folder full of evidence that she was about to turn over to the New York Times detailing the plutonium contamination of herself and her fellow workers at the local nuclear energy plant, and, crucially, evidence that the plant and THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, was complicit in nuclear proliferation - AKA GIVING FOREIGN POWERS THE TOOLS TO MAKE NUCLEAR WEAPONS. Gird your loins, Fam, because we are not having it!

468: The Perfect Neighbor

Tue, 11 Nov 2025

It's a totally new kind of documentary film, fam, AND WE ARE HERE FOR IT! In 2021, Susan Lorincz moved in to an established family neighborhood in Ocala, Florida. She was a problem from day one. She hated the neighborhood kids who ran around, played football in the filed, and made noise AS KIDS ARE WONT TO DO. She called the police repeatedly, she made up stories, she called the kids horrific names, she threw things at them. And then on June 2, 2023, she committed murder. All the while thinking Florida's "stand your ground law" would protect her. She had another think coming.
