Alguien tiene que morir (2020)
Great trashy fun
The first two hours feel like a really good dramatic series inside a telenovela... the madrileños were well painted... but the last hour was SO over the top, it becomes self -parody. Like an SNL feature.
but that just made it MORE fun. Not believable but a hoot! Especially grandma!
Marsha Hunt's Sweet Adversity (2015)
Fascinating history!
A thousand thanks to Roger Memos and his team for creating this fire documentary. It is a story I did not know and it is a fascinating one!
