Jan V 09/12/2023 Another entry in the Vice anthology series about popular culture of the past. It's a nice overview of things and times past, but the sanctimonious tone does get annoying. But hey, it's Vice. They can help wagging that pedantic finger at you! See more Darrin C 08/24/2023 Started watching because I love Dark Side of the Ring. Episode themes have been too familiar as several the stories are based on tabloids. Still very interesting and look forward to new episodes weekly. Recommended but has flaws.
