This week, we're introducing our newest podcast, a mix of true crime and movie history. Inspired By A True Story is now available on your favorite podcast app!

November, 1991

Danny Rolling is charged with five counts of murder, crimes that occurred over the course of four days in August 1990 in Gainesville, Florida. His crimes extended to a triple homicide, sexual assault, and even an attempted murder.

He became known as the Gainesville Ripper.

In 1996, Wes Craven unleashed a new slasher film that flipped horror on its ear and launched a new franchise, this film was written by Kevin Williamson… who drew his inspiration from the crimes of one Daniel Harold Rolling.

Check your windows and lock your doors because Scream is inspired by a true story.

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, we devote our entire episode to one topic: the history of movie theaters. From the sound to the implementation of color the eruptions of TV to blockbusters to ratings to streaming, and on and on. Movie theaters have lasted for over 100 years, and it's time to hop into our time machine and pay some respects to, as Martin Scorsese would say, cinema. Also, we take a look at recent events such as Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, and how that might change the movie theater experience yet again.

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, The Exorcist has returned to theaters after a long break, and we have to ask: are demonic possession movies even still scary? Does this notion of an otherworldly force occupying our bodies work in a cynically jaded society? Do your personal beliefs amplify or decrease your fear? It's an intriguing discussion as we take out the crucifix and take a jab at this topic.
