I'm a homeowner now ("buy a place with an HOA"), made mistakes you'd have easily avoided, but you'd be happy with the way I've been getting after things and am 100% certain you'd be the biggest fan of The Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind podcast.

The Definitive True Crime Masterpiece

Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind* ·

2024/08/26

OTD 1988: The GOAT of True Crime Documentaries, The Thin Blue Line opens. Future Oscar Winner (for The Fog of War) Errol Morris weaves a horrifying story of injustice, so compelling that a closed murder case in Dallas, Texas is re-opened! Can a movie really save an innocent man's life? Currently on Netflix and AMC+, The Thin Blue Line gets my absolute highest recommendation.

An Appreciation of Licence To Kill

Confessions of a Not-So-Dangerous Mind* ·

The second (and sadly, final) outing for Timothy Dalton as 007, 1989's Licence to Kill remains somewhat underappreciated by history. Arguably the darkest-ever Bond film, Dalton dazzles as the vengeful "former British agent" who will right a horrible wrong, or die trying.
