Golden State Killer : Main Suspect
Hosted by NBC News investigative journalist Stephanie Gosk, this brand new two-hour special will offer an intimate look into the life of Joe DeAngelo, the suspect in custody, through new and exclusive interviews from those who were closest to him and offering a gripping depiction of the prime suspect in a decades-long manhunt. To his family, friends, and former colleagues, DeAngelo lived the life of the classic “average Joe” - a father, grandfather, veteran, and even former police officer. DeAngelo now stands accused of being the man behind one of the most ruthlessly enduring crime sprees of all time and is believed to have raped more than 45 women and murdered at least 12 people. He is currently charged with 12 counts of first degree murder and has so far not entered a plea. Joining Gosk is Bay Area detective Paul Holes, who helped search for the Golden State Killer for nearly a quarter-century and played a key role in the arrest of Joe DeAngelo.

Southwest of Salem: The Story of the San Antonio Four
In 1994, four women were accused, tried, and convicted of the heinous sexual assault of two young girls—as one newscaster puts it, “the modern version of the witchcraft trials.” Twenty years later, the four women have maintained their innocence, insisting that the accusations were entirely fabricated, and borne of homophobic prejudice and a late-’90s mania about covens, cults, and child abuse.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

When they were showing clips of the open field looking towards a tree line and they cast was talking about when John would ask them if they saw anything moving towards the trees, did anyone else notice the transparent person walking through the field? walking left to right about a quarter of the way up from the bottom of the screen it starts at around 37:10 you will hear a light bell ring and right after that it will start. Keep your eyes in the middle towards the bottom of the screen and you will see it. its right after the guy in the red sweater says that John would fast forward it and say are you sure you don't see something. Let me know what you think, I just showed it to my brother and he was able to catch it.

This is an incredible documentary! It contains actual footage and home videos from Dave Schultz's life. The film serves as a great tribute to Dave, his family, friends and wrestlers. I had the privilege of viewing it at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City. When I got home, I watched it again. It is THAT good!

I have watched this documentary twice now, it is such a fascinating and thought provoking film. There is a great sense of sadness associated with this story and I still think about it now and keep recommending it to everyone that I can! This was a topic that I would not normally watch and this broke that barrier down, a totally unexpected and wonderful discovery.

Excellent piece from those who were actually there. No punches pulled, straight forward and truthful. I will never forget where I was when I heard Dave was murdered. It was very difficult seeing this replayed but I feel it was the best of the three films on the subject. The movie Foxcatcher was well acted and the 30 for 30 Documentary was also well done, however I feel this was the better of the three. Whenever I am at a wrestling event and I hear our national anthem, I always think of Dave on the podium in LA with the gold medal and his smile.
