When Debra Newell met John Meehan on dating site for the 50+ crowd, he seemed too good to be true. A handsome, fit, successful doctor? She was interested. But, beginning with their first date, there were warning signs...something wasn't quite right here. But she ignored her instincts and allowed him to move quickly. He moved in with her after a few weeks and convince her to marry him after just two months. All the while, her adult children begged her to pay attention to the red flags, lies, and abusive behavior. In Part 1, we learn about Debra and John's whirlwind romance, see how he groomed her, and meet several other women he victimized and terrorized over the years. LOOKING FOR MORE TCO?

Who in gay hell exercises in a room heated to 105 degrees?!?! Sweating and stretching isn't our jam, but Bikram Chaudry (we have a request into Jesus to have his last name changed--WE WILL NOT HAVE RABIA'S LAST NAME BESMIRCHED!!!) recruited thousands of people to try his so-called "new" brand of yoga. He broke them down physically and mentally at his training workshops, which served as recruitment centers for his sexual predator ways. Girl - smells like a cult to us! LOOKING FOR MORE TCO?

For 13 summers, Timothy Tredwell journeyed into the Alaskan wilderness to spend four months living among the grizzly bears. Though Treadwell believed that he and the bears had an understanding--he considered them his close friends--he and his girlfriend Amy Huguenard were eventually killed and devoured by one of the bears. For the five summers before his death, he took a video camera on his trips and shot over 100 hours of tape. "Grizzly Man", the brilliant documentary by master filmmaker Werner Herzog, tells the story of Treadwell's fascinating life and terrifying death--and uses much of treadwell's own footage to do so.   LOOKING FOR MORE TCO?
