We learn about how this woman as a young girl from Galveston, Texas became a determined woman who was self-possessed and self-aware to raise her daughter to be one of the greatest artists of all time.

We see who she saw the world growing up and how important it was to her to shape it in a way that she could lift limitations that were placed on her as well as realizing the power of dreaming bigger. This philosophy took her beyond the shores of Texas that she grew up in and elevated her to a place that truly allowed her to take her power into her own hands.

FATAL ATTRACTION

Paramount+ Original

Paramount

We remember seeing the original Fatal Attraction with Michael Douglas (Wall Street, The Game, Ant-Man franchise) and Glenn Close (Air Force One, Damages, Tehran).

We watched how emotions went from an illicit passion to aggression to stalking and how those involved navigate these relationships which made this an epic thriller!

The Fatal Attraction reboot brings these concepts and feelings together with Joshua Jackson (Dawson's Creek, Dr. Death, The Affair) and Lizzy Caplan (Masters of Sex, Party Down, Fleishman is in Trouble) pick up the characters of Dan Gallagher and Alex Forrest. Although the series is based on affairs, we see what happens after and how those involved deal with the fallout of his actions.

LOVE & DEATH

Max Original

HBO/Max + Spotify

This mini-series focuses on the true crime story of the death of Betty Gore by Candy Montgomery. Whether you saw Hulu's version, Candy or not, Love & Death is worth taking a look at how this story involving members of a small community interact with one another when this crime and murder trial took place. Elizabeth Olsen (Avengers franchise, Wandavision, Doctor Strange in the Mutiverse of Madness) and Jesse Plemons (Vice, The Irishman, El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie) showcase these characters in another light.

We suggest that as you watch the 7 episodes, you also listen to the companion podcast of the same name as it brings insight to the series with those in front of and behind the camera. In partnership with Texas Monthly which reported the story when it came out during the trial, journalists share what took place to those involved after the trial, the Texas justice system, the culture at that time, and other insights.

In The Foxes of Hydesville, we go back to the 1800's where Leah Fox (Carey Mulligan) has been estranged from her brother and teenage sisters. In this true story about the Fox sisters, we learn that they are not welcome in their town due to being mediums.

On the request of her brother, she takes them to where she lives and works to keep them safe while realizing that they have harnessed a power that is not only lucrative, but ultimately creates the social-religious movement of Spiritualism in the nineteenth century.
