Rod "Blago" Blagojevich had a charmed path to the Governor's Mansion in Illinois: He married Patty Mell, the daughter of a powerful Democratic Alderman who helped him jump from state legislator to Governor in just 10 years.

In 1983, a 21 year-old woman walked into a bar in New Bedford, Massachusetts. When she tried to leave a little later, the door was locked and 4 men raped her over the course of 2 hours on the bar's pool table while a group of other men cheered them on. Nobody helped her. When the case went to court, it would be the nation's first televised rape case. And the woman, who wished to remain anonymous, would be unmasked on live TV. LOOKING FOR MORE TCO?

The title of Ava DuVernay's extraordinary and galvanizing documentary refers to the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, which granted freedom to enslaved people. Except, it didn’t really. The drafters of the amendment included a loophole that allowed for the re-enslavement of any person convicted of a crime. 13th explores The progression from that loophole to the horrors of mass criminalization and the sprawling American prison industry. With a potent mixture of archival footage and testimony from a dazzling array of activists, politicians, historians, and formerly incarcerated women and men, DuVernay creates a work of grand historical synthesis.

On July 10, 2015, a 28 year-old black woman named Sandra Bland was pulled over in a small Texas town for failing to use a turn signal when she changed lanes. She was ultimately arrested and taken to the county jail. Three days later, she was found dead in her cell. The official coroner's report ruled the death a suicide, but many people believe that Sandra Bland was murdered. Sandy, as she was known to her family and friends, became a national figure in the Black Lives Matter Movement and "Say Her Name" attempts to uncover the truth behind her arrest and death.

Israel Keyes is the most terrifying serial killer you’ve maybe never heard of.  Here’s what we know about him: He was methodical—he left “kill kits” hidden all across the country. He hid them years before using them, so he was also patient and self controlled. He picked his victims at random to avoid detection and is believed to have murdered at least 11 people across the United States between 2001 and 2012. He was a meticulous serial killer who constantly morphed his modus operandi and the location in which he killed which helped him evade capture for years.  In this bone chilling documentary, we actually see him kidnap his final victim, and we watch him being arrested. We go into the interrogation room with him as the police and FBI try to get the names and locations of his victims. But it’s all a game to Keyes, and he’s only willing to divulge a few of his secrets. FAM! WE LAUNCHED A NEW PODCAST! "Obsessed With: Disappeared."
