“The first episode alone.. here fact. The 1964 Civil Rights Act: 80% of Republicans in the House and Senate voted for the bill. Less than 70% of Democrats did.
You’re part of the machine to manipulate Americans. regardless of party.”

“So, everybody likes to have a giggle…absolutely!
And…the backstory of true crime always seems intriguing…? I think so!
Why not combine them?
Adam McKay has my full attention with this well crafted jaunt down memory lane complete with period music for ambience. His comedic timing simultaneously...”Read full review »

“A must for any hoops fan. I was a junior in college when Len Bias died. Went to basketball camp with Keith Gatlin, Bias’ PG at Maryland. It as like the world stopped. Ben Wilson’s death was also a shocker. Well researched and high production value. I hope there are plans for more episodes. ...”Read full review »
