Enter the world of entertainment, where the lines between reality and fiction blur into a mesmerizing display of spectacle and sensation. Annette, eager to explore the latest in game show entertainment, decides to check out the Castrophy game show before meeting Jack in his workshop.
But as she watches the show, she realizes that the format is nothing new - it's a rebranding of an old classic, The Viral View. This show, once considered the most sexist thing ever cross-marketed by free TV and tabloids, has been reborn as Castrophy, with a fresh coat of paint and new hosts.
For Annette, it's a reminder that entertainment can often be a reflection of the worst aspects of society, from sexism to sensationalism. But at the same time, she can't help but be drawn in by the spectacle and the thrill of the show, a reminder that the line between right and wrong is often blurred in the world of entertainment.
Join us as we explore the fascinating world of entertainment, where the boundaries between reality and fiction, right and wrong, are constantly shifting. It's a world where anything can happen, where the limits of our imagination and our morality are constantly being tested.

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.
