    Predators (2025)
    Dec 19 2025
    Kelsey and Gen discuss Predators, directed by David Osit, released December 8th 2025 on Paramount+, as a product of MTV Entertainment, and revisits the cultural phenomenon of To Catch a Predator, the early-2000s Dateline NBC series that set out to publicly expose men seeking sexual contact with minors online. Using archival footage, behind-the-scenes material, and interviews with people involved on all sides, including Chris Hansen himself, Predators poses questions about accountability, spectacle, and the human cost of turning crime into content.

  • Long Shot (2017)

    Long Shot (2017)
    Dec 12 2025
    Kelsey and Gen discuss Long Shot, released in 2017 and directed by Jacob LaMendola, tells the story of Juan Catalan, a Los Angeles man wrongfully accused of murder and facing a possible life sentence for a crime he did not commit. His salvation ultimately comes from a rather unexpected source: background footage captured during the filming of the HBO show Curb Your Enthusiasm. The documentary walks through how easily Catalan is swept into the criminal justice system, how thin the evidence against him actually is, and how close he comes to being convicted before a fluke of timing, geography, and television production intervenes, raising uncomfortable question about how much luck is involved in proving our innocence on any given day.

  • The Alabama Solution (2025)

    The Alabama Solution (2025)
    Dec 3 2025
    Kelsey and Gen take on HBO’s The Alabama Solution, a documentary that drags the Alabama prison system out of the shadows and into full, brutal light. Through hidden cell-phone footage, inmate testimonies, and interviews captured at enormous personal risk, the film exposes violence, corruption, and conditions that defy any notion of rehabilitation. They break down the men who spoke up, the failures of the system around them, and the human cost the state would rather you never see, but it’s impossible to unsee once you have. Next up: "The Long Shot" on Netflix, a short 40 minute Netflix doc from 2017 about a man wrongly accused of murder and exonerated via footage from the TV show Curb Your Enthusiasm.
