Season Two Of “Bloodline Detectives: Hosted By Nancy Grace” Is Streaming Now

True-crime documentary fans can now watch both seasons of the popular series “Bloodline Detectives Hosted by Nancy Grace,” the unique series that explores familial DNA search and testing used to uncover elusive criminals, now that Season 2 is joining the first season on numerous free streaming platforms. Hosted by preeminent legal analyst and renowned former prosecutor Nancy Grace, the series takes viewers behind the scenes of cold cases as detectives solve years-old murder investigations using two kinds of technology: genetic genealogy and familial searching. Detectives can harness these techniques to pinpoint an unknown criminal’s relatives and then trace the path of a family tree to reveal the killer, as used in high-profile cases such as The Golden State Killer and The Grim Sleeper. Grace opens each episode by detailing a highly publicised and violent crime with unknown motives whose assailants were ultimately caught using Familial DNA Search, the ground-breaking method used to reveal the identities of notoriously elusive criminals.

First Look: Kevin Bacon Stars In The Conversion Camp Horror ‘They/Them”

John Logan (“Penny Dreadful”) is making his feature directorial with the upcoming slasher They/Them (originally titled Whistler Camp), starring Kevin Bacon (Tremors). Set to premiere on Peacock, the official release date has just been announced and the first images shared. The LBGTQ+ slasher, pronounced “They Slash Them,” is set at a conversion camp – as if that isn’t horrifying enough on its own – where a group of campers is sent for a week of “re-programming.” “As the camp’s methods become increasingly more psychologically unsettling, the campers must work together to protect themselves. When a mysterious killer starts claiming victims, things get even more dangerous.” Bacon stars as Owen the camp’s director and is joined by Anna Chlumsky, Carrie Preston, Theo Germaine, Quei Tann, Austin Crute, and Monique Kim, along with others.

Movie Review: Firestarter (2022) Brings The Heat!

Okay, let’s start at the begging. Firestarter (2022) is based on Stephen King’s 1980 classic novel. In the film, for more than a decade, parents Andy (Zac Efron; Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile; The Greatest Showman) and Vicky (Sydney Lemmon; Fear the Walking Dead, Succession) have been on the run, desperate to hide their daughter Charlie (Ryan Kiera Armstrong; American Horror Story: Double Feature, The Tomorrow War) from a shadowy federal agency that wants to harness her unprecedented gift for creating fire into a weapon of mass destruction. To be blunt, when the news first arrived that a new reboot/new adaptation of Stephen King’s Firestarter was headed our way, I was skeptical. Let’s be honest remakes/reboots/reimagining usually suck. So I didn’t expect much. But I am here to tell you that I actually enjoyed it. I know, I’m shocked too. The casting is great and Zac Efron actually pulls off playing a dad, which is a role I would
