An investigation into the iconic real-life crimes in the age of film noir, from the Double Indemnity murder to the Honeymoon Killers and the mob hit on the boss of Murder Incorporated. The uniquely restored colour footage sets the epic stage. It is sharpened in a way that turns grainy super 8 and 16 mil into a crisply detailed 4K window on the real mean streets of New York more than seventy years ago.

E01 · The Model and the Maniac
The prime suspect of a gruesome triple homicide, wax sculptor Robert Irwin, sold his story to finance his defence and escape the death penalty.

E02 · Double Indemnity
With a double indemnity insurance policy on her husband’s life and a lover as an accomplice, what can go wrong with Ruthie Brown’s plan to stage a murder?

E03 · The Lonely Hearts Killers
Raymond Fernandez and Martha Beck have a good thing going, conning lonely women of their riches-until their dysfunctional relationship pushes them to murder.

E04 · Haircut for a Mob Boss
Umberto ‘Albert’ Anastasia, once the chief of the notorious ‘Murder Incorporated’ crime firm, winds up the target of a mob hit in a barber shop chair.

E05 · The Mad Bomber
Before the Unabomber, New Yorkers were terrified for 16 years by an attacker who planted bombs across the city. The culprit was an electrician named George Metesky.

E06 · Last Call For Michael Malloy
The strange story of Michael Malloy shows how some people just won’t die when you want them to.

Better Off Dead? – a one-hour documentary for BBC One argues that assisted suicide puts disabled lives at risk. Traveling to Canada, the film explores some of the most permissive assisted suicide laws in the world. Here we see a law that can end the lives of not just the terminally ill, but the disabled, and those who are offered a medically assisted death as a ‘way out’ of social deprivation.

This fascinating, multi-award winning documentary film  has been called the BEST DOCUMENTARY about Oppenheimer. Diving into the brilliant and complex mind of Dr. J.

Events quickly unfolded that caused a course of action that is still debated today, more than three-quarters of a century later.

SItes like OnlyFans, Flirt4Free, and JustforFans have destabilized the traditional production, distribution and monetization of X-rated entertainment. The potential and risk to make the big bucks, along with all the headaches of running a business, is now in the hands of porn stars and starry-eyed newcomers working from home.   Sure, porn is still popular but it’s a one-way experience and guys don’t want to pay for it. They want the opportunity to get to know somebody they’ve seen in a magazine, on TV or on social media. Meet your roster of online boyfriends. And it’s cheaper per month than a dinner date.
