It’s fitting that “The End” caps off Season 1 where we explored the films of Turd Ferguson. This movie comes to represent all we know and love about Burt Reynolds movies in every good way and every bad way. It’s a dark comedy that’s neither dark, nor arguably a comedy. It’s tonal mosaic of a poorly constructed narrative wrapped around a narcissistic protagonist. And did we mention Mr. Reynolds not only stars but directs as well? Join us as we explore this mentally disturbed attempt at making a comedy about terminal illnesses and suicide.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
