True Crime And True Crime-Adjacent Movie Recommendations
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping true crime and true crime-adjacent movies into the ol’ VCR.
I’ve talked about this before, but I watch a lot of true crime shows and documentaries.
In fact, Elliott and I both recently watched the first episode of Max’s new series, How (Not) To Get Rid Of A Body because someone we knew was, um, involved, but that’s a story for another day.
Moving on.
All of the new true crime content being released made me think about movies that either depict real crimes or fictional crimes but still have that true crime feel about them. So, I thought I would make all of you a good ol’ fashioned list of those movies.
As I said, some of these are fictionalized while others are based on true events. Additionally, not all of these movies are created equal; some are noticeably better than others.
I would also like to mention that the quality of some of these movies shouldn’t undercut or undermine the brutal crimes they’re based on.
Lastly, I highly recommend searching for CWs/TWs before watching any of these films. There are a lot of depictions of violence, SA, r*pe, SV, and all like topics throughout this list, so I would definitely proceed with caution on some of these.
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers.
Without further ado, here are 13 true crime and true crime-adjacent film recommendations:
- Rope
- Se7en
- Zodiac
- Monster
- Longlegs
- Primal Fear
- Mystic River
- Kiss the Girls
- All Good Things
- My Friend Dahmer
- Murder by Numbers
- Silence of the Lambs

We’ve Got You Covered: Covers I Think Are Better Than The Originals
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping covers I think are better than the original song into the ol’ VCR.
Friends, it’s no secret that I have some controversial opinions on pop culture.
We all know I hate The VVitch.
I’ve never seen any of The Godfathers.
I think Christopher Nolan is totally overrated.
But, my hot takes don’t stop at movies — I also have some strong music opinions. So, I thought I would share some of said opinions with you today.
I’ve decided to share some of the covers I think are better than the original songs.
You might disagree with me. You might agree with me. You might not have known that some of these were covers.
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions.
Without further ado, here are 10 covers I think are better than the originals:
“Fancy” by Reba McEntire
“It’s My Life” by No Doubt

“Last Kiss” by Pearl Jam
“Video Games” by Trixie Mattel
“Hurt” by Johnny Cash
“Nothing Compares 2 U” by Sinéad O’Connor
“Hallelujah” by Jeff Buckley

“You Did The Right Thing. I Don’t Blame You.”: A Spotlight On Dan Stevens
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Dan Stevens into the ol’ VCR.
On October 10, 1982, Daniel Jonathan Stevens was born, but you probably know him as Dan Stevens.
Dan Stevens was raised by his adoptive parents in Southeast England and Wales before receiving a scholarship to attend the Tonbridge School in Kent.
I’m sure you can guess where this is going, but much like all of the other subjects of our spotlights, he began participating in the drama program at his school after auditioning for the lead in Macbeth. After discovering this newfound interest, he began spending his summers with the National Youth Theatre performing in London.
He would go on to attend the University of Cambridge, where he not only joined the Marlowe Society, the university’s drama club, but also Footlights, the university’s sketch comedy group.
Dan Stevens began acting professionally in a touring production of As You Like It and received critical acclaim throughout his run.
He would then go on to star in the BBC’s adaptation of The Line of Beauty, which began the expansion of his career.
From there, Dan Stevens would continue performing on both stage and screen, with his first big break coming in 2010 when he was cast in Downton Abbey.
Over the years, Dan Stevens has starred in many hit films and television shows, as well as stage and Broadway performances.
He’s also been nominated for multiple Audie Awards for his work with audiobooks, which I didn’t know, and I think is really rad.
Outside of saying that he’s the star of one of my favorite movies of all time and that I think he’s one of the hottest men alive, there’s not much I can say about Dan Stevens that hasn’t already been said.
Dan, if you ever read this, thank you. 🖤
Without further ado, here’s some of my favorite Dan Stevens content:
- Vamps
- Legion
- Abigail
- Her Smell
- The Guest
- Love, Death & Robots
- Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga

Take Notes, ChatGPT: Diving Into The World Of Max Headroom
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Max Headroom into the ol’ VCR.
From the same mind that brought you a piece on Liquid Television comes a piece about everyone’s favorite faux-CGI host, Max Headroom.
It’s me. I’m the mind.
Now, friends, Max Headroom is more than something clipped in Greylock to establish the timeline; he was truly ahead of his time.
To accurately dive into the world of Max Headroom, I’m going to divide this piece up into three sections: The “Man,” The Myths, and The Prank.
Tbh, there was a lot more to unpack than I initially thought when I started my research.
Max Headroom was a bit before my time, so I only grew up hearing about him/seeing clips here and there.
However, it’s been really fun and interesting to dive into the world of Max Headroom because there’s a lot more to it than I thought.
Alrighty, that’s enough for introductions.
Without further ado, let’s get to it.
Video source: andymerv
The “Man”
Created by Annabel Jankel, Rocky Morton, and George Stone, Max Headroom was originally meant to be a satirical take on 1980s talk show hosts. but Matt Frewer, the actor who played Max Headroom, wanted him to have a certain naivety, with Max basing his personality and actions after everything he’d seen on television while keeping the razor-sharp and biting wit about him.
Max Headroom’s first appearance was, fittingly enough, during his origin film, Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future. According to the film, Max Headroom is a sentient AI program based on fictional reporter, Edison Carter (also portrayed by Matt Frewer).
From there, The Max Headroom Show was born. Initially, Max Headroom served as a veejay, however, he would eventually conduct interviews in front of live audiences as the show progressed. The show ran for three years on Channel 4, including a freakin’ Christmas special written by George R.R. Martin. Yes, you read that correctly.
After The Max Headroom Show came to an end in the U.K., an additional six episodes were produced for US audiences by Cinemax and rebranded as The Original Max Headroom Show.*
*In my research, I saw this called both The Original Max Headroom Show and The Original Max Talking Headroom Show.

A year later (after what I hope was a prosperous acquisition for his creators), ABC premiered Max Headroom, a series based on Max Headroom: 20 Minutes into the Future, that ran from 1987 to 1988 wherein Max Headroom helped Edison Carter try to take down corrupt figures that commented and satirized on current political events.
Over the years, Max Headroom has served as the spokesperson for New Coke (woof) and appeared in numerous shows, movies, and commercials; he was basically everywhere.
While appearances of Max Headroom have faded, he’s still well-known within the world of pop culture.
So well-known, in fact, that back in 2022, AMC announced that Max Headroom would, once again, make his way onto all of our television screens in a rebooted series.
And, as of writing this piece, I can’t find any information about the project not moving forward, so fingers crossed that Max Headroom will return to glitch another day.

The Myth
The biggest myth surrounding Max Headroom is that he’s computer-generated, when, in fact, the only thing computer-generated is Max’s background. Matt Frewer simply wore contacts (and Ray Bans when the contacts hurt), makeup, and prosthetics to appear as though he was a CGI character. However, the pilot of The Max Headroom Show won a BAFTA award for graphics in 1986, despite nothing being rendered outside of the background.
The Prank
Max Headroom was influential in a variety of ways, including how he inadvertently inspired one of the most famous unsolved media mysteries of all time: The Max Headroom Incident.
On November 22, 1987, over the course of an evening and across two different stations, someone in a Max Headroom mask managed to hijack the broadcast signal twice. The first time was only for a matter of seconds, but the second was almost a minute and a half long. Additionally, the second interruption ended with Max Headroom getting, um, spanked on his bare ass.
To this day, no one has any idea who the hijackers were/are, but there’s been speculation that it was anyone from a disgruntled employee to art students.

Drawing A Blank #4: Even, Even, Even More Cartoons You May Have Forgotten About
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping more cult-classic cartoons into the ol’ VCR.
Friends, it’s that magical time, yet again.
I’m back with even MORE cartoons that you may have forgotten about.
If you’re new to this series, I’d recommend checking out the other entries, like this one.
BUT, the gist is that I’ve curated a list of cartoons from my childhood that you may or may not remember.
Think of it like a reverse version of r/tipofmytongue.
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions
Without further ado, here are 10 cult-classic cartoons that’ll make you write a bad Yahoo Messenger away message:

“Things Get Messy When You Make A Deal With The Devil”: A Spotlight On Samara Weaving
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping the work of Samara Weaving into the ol’ VCR.
On February 23, 1992, Samara Weaving was born in South Australia—Adalaide, to be precise.
This is the part where I would usually do my whole “but you probably know her better as…” bit, but it seems as though our girl uses her real name in the biz.
Moving on.
I don’t have a lot of info about Samara Weaving’s early life, but it seems like her family moved around a bit, so her upbringing was split between Southeast Asia, Australia, and Fiji.
She attended an all-girls boarding school as a teenager, where she…wait for it…participated in their drama program.Samara Weaving first began acting professionally in Australian soap operas in 2008 and began modeling soon after.
After landing a role in Ash vs Evil Dead (and inadvertently becoming the subject of an absolutely idiotic MAGA social media hoax), her career would continue gaining traction with roles in Mayhem, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, and The Babysitter, just to name a few.
There’s not much more that I can say about Samara Weaving that hasn’t already been said (except for the fact that I somehow didn’t know her uncle is Hugo Weaving).
Samara, if you ever read this, thank you. 🖤
Without further ado, here’s some of my favorite Samara Weaving content:
- Mayhem
- Scream VI
- Guns Akimbo
- Ready or Not
- The Babysitter
- Ash vs Evil Dead

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Shakes Loose Nostalgia With A Modern Twist
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Beetlejuice Beetlejuice into the ol’ VCR.
It may have (funnily enough) taken me three attempts to finally see Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, but it was totally worth it.
I had a big, stupid grin plastered across my face from the SECOND those opening credits started through the time the ending credits wrapped.
If you’re unfamiliar, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is Tim Burton’s sequel to his original 1988 film, Beetlejuice. See what he did there?
Now, nothing was going to measure up to the original, but I actually loved this movie.
I thought it modernized the weirdness of the original movie without changing too terribly much of its original sentiment.
In Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, we find an adult Lydia Deetz (Winona Ryder) struggling to juggle her ability to see ghosts, an insufferable boyfriend (Justin Theroux), and a grieving teenage daughter (Jenna Ortega).
After the death of her father, Lydia returns home with boyfriend and daughter in tow at the bequest of her stepmother, Delia (Catherine O’Hara), and it turns out that some of the (literal) ghosts of her past might not be quite done with her.
Simultaneously, Beetlejuice’s (Michael Keaton) ex-wife, Delores (Monica Bellucci) has gotten herself together (again, literally) and will stop at nothing to find herself in the arms of the ghost with the most while Wolf Jackson (Willem Dafoe), an actor turned undead cop, tries to bring her to justice.
I’ve seen a lot of criticisms about bringing in the new characters and not fleshing them out enough, and I think that’s fair.
I thought Monica Bellucci was hot as hell and that Justin Theroux was a scene stealer, but I can see where they’re coming from.
Beetlejuice Beetlejuice doesn’t stop for air or any of Lydia’s breathing exercises, but I personally didn’t mind it, which is saying a lot coming from the queen of pacing criticisms.
However, I’ve also seen some criticisms about Lydia that I don’t agree with.
In my humble opinion, the entire point of the film is for Lydia to find herself. In fact, at one point, Delia says as much.
I also think it’s worth mentioning again that nothing was ever going to compare to the original. This movie was so iconic to so many of us, and there’s a reason why it’s still such a prevalent part of the zeitgeist over 36 years after its release.
But, I think it’s an absolute blast.
I loved seeing all of the twists and turns of the underworld, including the EXCELLENT makeup and practical effects.
There’s been a new fear unlocked in the beetlebaby.
I would also defend Bob’s honor any day of the week.
I don’t have too terribly much to say about this one, so I’ll end it in a way befitting a piece about everyone’s favorite Bio-Exorcist:
“As Dostoevsky would say, ‘Later, fucker!’”

Been Caught Stealing: Some Of The CDs I “Borrowed” From My Older Sister
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping a birthday piece for my older sister into the ol’ VCR.
Well, friends, today is my older sister’s undisclosed-th birthday.
Our relationship was rocky for a long time, but the past few years, she’s really stepped up—especially after KP died.
We also didn’t have the best home life growing up, but something I remember fondly is borrowing (and sometimes stealing) movies and CDs from her.
My sister had a GIANT CD tower in the entryway of her bedroom, and I would treat it as my personal Sam Goody.
Most of the time, I would only borrow her CDs so that I could burn copies and/or mix CDs.
However, I will admit that there were some CDs that I just straight up stole, some of which I may or may not still have.
No further comment.
I do want to thank my sister for never really busting me for borrowing or stealing her CDs.
There’s a big age gap between us, and she really could’ve been a jerk about it, but she wasn’t, and I really do appreciate it.
Alrighty, that should do us for introductions.
Happy Birthday, Sister.
Without further ado, here are 10 albums I “borrowed” from my sister:
Fashion Nugget – Cake

And That’s What You Missed On: Songs From The 2020s That Would 100% Be Covered On Glee
Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping songs I think would be on Glee into the ol’ VCR.
It should come as no surprise that I watched Glee.
Hell, I even watched The Glee Project.
In fact, I brought the first two compilation CDs on a school field trip, and my classmates and I BELTED all of the songs throughout the entire day.
However, I think all of the tragedy surrounding the cast is heartbreaking, and I won’t be addressing any of the controversy, even though Lea Michele will never read this (or maybe can’t).
For legal reasons, I’m 100% kidding about Lea Michele not being able to read.
Moving on.
Although Glee ended in 2015, we all know there are A LOT of songs from the 2020s that New Directions, or one of their many rivals, would’ve covered in an episode.
So, I thought it would be fun to pick 10 songs I think (know) would show up on Glee in one episode or another.
I was originally going to cook up the scenes for these songs, but it just felt kind of icky considering some of the cast has passed away.
Instead, I’m just going to link the music videos below.
Additionally, this is just going to be a one-off for now, but there’s always a chance I’ll do another edition of this one.
Alrighty, that should do us for disclaimers and introductions.
Without further ado, here are 10 songs I think would be covered on Glee:“Flowers”

“TEXAS HOLD ‘EM”
Video source: Beyoncé
“Espresso”
Video source: Sabrina Carpenter
“Good 4 U”
“HOT TO GO!”
Video source: Chappell Roan
“Anti-Hero”

“Paint The Town Red”
“Padam Padam”
“Kings & Queens“

“Stupid Love”
