When Tina Bowen and her sister, Karen, began hearing knocking in the walls of their home in Pepperell, Massachusetts, the girls believed it was their recently deceased mother trying to reach out to them from beyond the grave. In time, however, the knocking became more intrusive and aggressive, and it was soon accompanied by objects being moved around the house and frightening messages left on the walls. After months of torment, the Bowens discovered that it wasn't a ghost haunting their home, but sixteen-year-old Daniel LaPlante, a boy Tina had briefly dated and who'd become obsessed with her. Daniel LaPlante was arrested and charged with various crimes, for which he was convicted and served a sentence in a juvenile detention center. Unfortunately, the court's decision to try LaPlante as an adult meant that he was granted bail and after just one year in detention, he was bailed out and allowed to live with his mother pending trial. It turned out that brief period of freedom was all the time LaPlante needed to find a new object of his obsession and by the time the police learned of his violent intentions, it was already too late.

Filmmakers, we have an absolutely magical episode for you this week! While Giles Alderson has been out in Bulgaria producing his latest feature film, the brilliant Conor Boru steps into the host chair to sit down with the phenomenal director Susanne Bier to discuss her massive new release, PRACTICAL MAGIC 2. Nearly three decades after the original spellbound audiences, Susanne takes us behind the scenes of bringing the Owens sisters back to the big screen. She dives deep into the realities of directing a massive studio sequel, working with Hollywood royalty like Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, balancing practical on-set effects with visual spectacles, and why the beating heart of this film is the authentic sisterhood on screen.

For reasons completely lost somewhere in the foggy, cobweb-covered corridors of this reviewer's mind, Eli Roth has become a rather divisive figure among horror and genre fans. Some eagerly line up for whatever deliciously demented nightmare he has cooked up next, while others approach his films as though they've just discovered a suspicious noise coming from the basement. Not quite as prolific as one might think, Roth nevertheless has a new movie now playing in theaters: the simply and sweetly titled ICE CREAM MAN (2026). Produced by his company, The Horror Section, which has an exclusive distribution deal with Iconic Events Releasing, the film follows, according to IMDb, “An idyllic summer town descends into madness when an ice cream man serves kids sweet delights with horrifying results.” Suddenly, that extra scoop doesn't sound quite so appealing.Directed by Eli Roth and co-written by Noah Belson, ICE CREAM MAN also features Snoop Dogg as a producer, with the legendary artist providing the song that plays over the film's end credits. The cast includes Ari Millen, Charlie Zeltzer, and others, while Sarah Abbott may just deliver the film's breakout performance as Lizzie. But while the ice cream may be sweet, the response has been considerably more mixed, with both critics and audiences serving up mostly mediocre reviews. So, is the film genuinely deserving of its chilly reception, or has Eli Roth's name on the carton caused some viewers to reach for the dislike button before taking their first bite?Your co-hosts grab their spoons, check carefully for anything lurking beneath the sprinkles, and dig into ICE CREAM MAN to find out. Is this a devilishly delicious serving of summertime horror, a scoop of misunderstood madness, or something that should have been left melting on the sidewalk? Join us as we taste-test Eli Roth's latest nightmare and give you our thoughts—brain freeze and all.

Apologies for the poor audio quality. A microphone was not functioning properly and it was difficult to salvage.This week, we return to the American Film Institutes list of the 100 greatest American films with #95, Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing, a film that depicts racial tensions of a single hot summer day in Brooklyn SPOILER ALERT We will be talking about this movie in its entirety. If you haven't seen this classic, we strongly suggest you watch it before listening to our takes.A 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks production, released by Universal Pictures on July 21, 1989. Directed, written, and produced by Spike Lee. Starring Danny Aiello, Spike Lee, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Giancarlo Esposito, John Turturro, Samuel L. Jackson, and Rosie Perez.

Twelve months almost to the day after this show first tried to make sense of the Aspiration story, the NBA made it official — and Grant and John Browner walk through one of the harshest punishments in league history, line by line: a $30 million fine, five first-round picks gone (2029 through 2033, including the voided Pacers pick), Steve Ballmer suspended a year, Gillian Zucker a year, Lawrence Frank six months, Uncle Dennis banned five years — and Kawhi Leonard fined $700,000 with his contract intact. John's verdict: they dropped a nuke, and the only people truly punished are Ballmer and the fans. Josh Tariff joins with the eerie Joe Smith/Timberwolves parallel the show called a year ago, and Beav arrives to fight John over November 2: does Kawhi actually play at the Intuit Dome, or does he never make the trip? Plus the Clippers' scorched-earth response ("heavily biased... a predetermined result"), performed by John in its true musical form; the attorney letter calling it a witch hunt; the tinfoil-bodysuit theory about why the ESPN report and the verdict don't match; and Grant's autopsy of the Kawhi era — ten first-round picks, zero Finals. The show closes on a serious note with John's unsparing response to Penn State's Paterno museum plans. New episodes weekday mornings. Follow the crew on X.

Chosen by Dave and Directed by Mike Hodges and produced by Dino De Laurentiis, Flash Gordon arrived in 1980 as a gloriously extravagant attempt to bring Alex Raymond's classic comic-strip hero back to the big screen. With a budget reported at around $20–27 million, the production went all-in on enormous studio sets, lavish costumes and deliberately colourful, old-school effects. Sam J. Jones took the title role alongside Melody Anderson, Max von Sydow, Ornella Muti, Topol, Timothy Dalton and a magnificently enthusiastic Brian Blessed.And then, of course, there's Queen. The band supplied the film's unmistakable rock soundtrack, accompanied by Howard Blake's orchestral arrangements, giving Flash Gordon one of the most recognisable scores of the era. The film performed strongly in the UK but struggled in some international markets, putting an end to plans for sequels. Over the decades, however, its combination of camp spectacle, huge performances and unapologetic excess has turned it into a genuine cult favourite.TRAILER GUY PLOT SYNOPSISWhen Earth finds itself at the mercy of a mysterious cosmic threat, one man is about to discover that saving the world requires courage, determination... and apparently being quite good at American football.Transported to the strange world of Mongo, Flash Gordon must face the merciless Emperor Ming, survive bizarre kingdoms, forge unlikely alliances and somehow convince everyone that a bloke called Flash really might be humanity's best hope.Prepare for spaceships, Hawkmen, ray guns, royal treachery and enough gold lamé to bankrupt an entire galaxy.FUN FACTSProducer Dino De Laurentiis originally considered Federico Fellini to direct the film.Mike Hodges later described the troubled production as essentially an improvised $27 million movie.Max von Sydow's elaborate Ming costume reportedly weighed more than 70 pounds, making it difficult for him to remain standing for long periods.Sam J. Jones had his naturally dark hair bleached blonde to play Flash, while Melody Anderson's blonde hair was dyed brown for Dale Arden.Jones was also supposed to wear blue contact lenses, but couldn't tolerate them.Dino De Laurentiis reportedly didn't know who Queen were when the band was first suggested for the soundtrack.Queen's Flash Gordon soundtrack album reached number 10 in the UK album chart.Brian May wrote the immortal “Flash's Theme”, while Freddie Mercury, Roger Taylor and John Deacon also contributed individual pieces to the score.Kenny Baker, best known as the man inside R2-D2, makes a small appearance as a dwarf in the torture chamber.The cast were originally signed for multiple Flash Gordon films, but the planned sequels never materialised.SUPPORT THE SHOWIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.And if you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

Everything in sports is for sale — and this time the buyer matters. Stan Kroenke is purchasing the Angels for a reported $3.9 billion, an MLB record, and Grant and John Browner explain why Angels fans just hit the owner jackpot: the land around the stadium, the LA Live-style build-out coming to Anaheim, and John's prediction that the Ducks end up in the Kroenke orbit next. Mykell Mathieu joins as a lifelong Angels fan ("the Galactic Empire has come to an end") and Steve Cofield of ESPN Las Vegas explains why the rest of baseball's owners should be nervous about a spender with no salary cap. Then John delivers his Lane Kiffin verdict — multiple national titles, because sometimes a snake lands in a place that loves snakes — and makes the case that Houston should not pay CJ Stroud until he proves it for two more years. It closes with Steve's read on NBA expansion in Vegas and the Portland ownership mess John says smells exactly like what happened to the Sonics. New episodes weekday mornings. Follow the crew on X.

Even in his 80s, Ridley Scott refuses to slow down...except in tone. This week, Derek Miranda (@DerekMiranda85) and Karen Peterson (@KarenMPeterson) sit down to talk the melancholy, quiet post-apocalyptic THE DOG STARS. As always, featured reviews are done in two parts, a NON-SPOILER review with letter grade and brief discussion, followed by a more in depth SPOILER review. PLOT SUMMARY: The film tells the story of Hig, a young pilot who, together with a military survivalist, Bangley, has carved out an efficient but isolated homestead in a brutal postapocalyptic world. But when Hig receives a mysterious radio transmission, he ventures into the unknown in search of the hope and humanity he still believes exist. Directed by: Ridley Scott Written by: Mark L. Smith (based on the novel by Peter Heller) Starring: Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin, Margaret Qualley, Allison Janney, Benedict Wong, and Guy Pearce *Image from THE DOG STARS courtesy of 20th Century Studios. @TheWatchAndTalk (Twitter/Instagram) Letterboxd.com/TheWatchandTalk Facebook.com/TheWatchAndTalk www.TheWatchAndTalk.com TheWatchAndTalk@gmail.com Support the show! www.Patreon.com/TheWatchAndTalk

The Dirt Bike Kid (1985) Directed by David Zucker Starring: Peter Billingsley, Stuart Pankin, Patrick Collins, Chad SheetsThe Thing with Two Heads (1972) Directed by Lee Frost Starring: Ray Milland, Roosevelt "Rosey" Grier, Don Marshall, Roger PerryA haunted dirt bike and a racist surgeon's severed head walk into a double feature — honestly, what more do you need to know? This week we're kicking off a brand new segment on the show: once a month, we're pitting two deliriously stupid movies against each other in the same episode, and we couldn't think of a better place to start than a sentient magic dirt bike saving a hot dog stand and a two-headed man tearing across the countryside on that exact same bike. Buckle up, because dirt bikes and dickheads is officially our theme.In this episode, we discuss:A Bike Powered by Magic (and Child's Assholes) — We break down how a broke kid trades his grocery money for a supercharged, sentient dirt bike that flies, fights bulldozers, and somehow gets arrested by actual police. We argue about where this movie even takes place, why nobody questions a bike driving itself through town, and how this kid could've just eaten free hot dogs forever instead of going through all this trouble.The Most Trumpian Real Estate Scheme of 1985 — The real villain of Dirt Bike Kid isn't the bike, it's a sleazy banker inflating land values to steamroll a hot dog stand for his own bank. We get into the shockingly adult subtext buried in this PG kids movie, including Playboy magazines and a genuinely unhinged number of food fights.And in our next movie, The Thing with Two Heads:Two Heads, One Body, Zero Chill — We dive into the gloriously unhinged premise of a dying racist surgeon getting his head grafted onto a death row inmate's body, and somehow that's not even the weirdest part. The neck-brace special effects, the mismatched head makeup, and the sheer audacity of the mirror gag get the full breakdown.The Chase Scene That Just Won't End — We argue over exactly how long the climactic two-headed-man-on-a-dirt-bike police chase actually runs (10 minutes? 20?), and why it might be one of the most purely entertaining sequences either of us has watched for this show. Funk soundtrack included.New episodes of the Dewey Pod Monster podcast drop every week. We're proud members of the YouRun Podcast Network at https://yourunpodcast.com.

Tonight on Damn You  Hollywood we are reviewing, Coyote vs Acme. After years of delays, controversy, and a near-permanent shelving by Warner Bros. Discovery, the long-awaited Looney Tunes feature has finally made it to audiences. Directed by Dave Green and starring Will Forte, John Cena, Lana Condor, and the iconic cast of Looney Tunes characters, the film follows Wile E. Coyote as he finally decides to take legal action against the company responsible for decades of defective rockets, explosives, traps, and assorted catastrophic failures. What begins as a ridiculous courtroom premise quickly expands into a surprisingly affectionate celebration of Looney Tunes history, mixing live-action comedy, animation, corporate satire, and classic cartoon chaos. We'll discuss whether the movie was worth saving, how well it understands Wile E. Coyote, why John Cena makes such an effective corporate villain, and whether Warner Bros. nearly buried one of its better modern attempts to keep these characters alive.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 

Grant and John Browner dig into the NFL Top 100, where Lamar Jackson — a multiple-time MVP who was No. 2 a year ago — fell 67 spots to No. 69 in a list voted on by the players themselves. John's read: this isn't a snub, it's confirmation that locker rooms don't fear him anymore. Arash Markazi joins fired up about the USC attendance story the whole country piled on: 100 degrees, San Jose State, a 38-point spread, and a noon kickoff nobody chose. John argues the schedule is the real problem, and the two land on the truth about Los Angeles — there are two of everything here, and football simply doesn't mean what it means in Texas. Josh Tariff arrives with the Packers autopsy: Matt LaFleur got an extension he shouldn't have, Green Bay let its leading receiver walk, and Micah Parsons is out four games. John's verdict on the division's other bench boss is even harsher — Dan Campbell is the most overrated coach in football, and that "run through a wall" style has an expiration date. It closes with the 49ers, George Kittle, and an organization whose wires are never crossed. New episodes weekday mornings. Follow the crew on X.

This week on Born to Watch, we sink our teeth into a Fright Night 1985 Review, revisiting one of the most recognisable vampire movies of the VHS era. For Whitey, this one comes loaded with childhood nostalgia, a movie discovered through an unforgettable video shop cover and watched countless times growing up. For Gow and Damo, however, this is essentially fresh blood. So, after more than 40 years, does Fright Night still deliver the perfect combination of horror, comedy and '80s vampire cool, or should some childhood favourites remain safely buried in the past?Directed by Tom Holland, Fright Night stars William Ragsdale as Charlie Brewster, a teenager who discovers that his charming new neighbour, Jerry Dandrige, is actually a vampire. Naturally, nobody believes him. Not his mum, not his girlfriend Amy, not the police, and certainly not washed-up television horror host Peter Vincent. Unfortunately for Charlie, Jerry knows that Charlie knows, and things are about to get considerably more complicated.The boys start with the nostalgia factor, and this might be one of the biggest tests yet of whether childhood memories can survive a modern rewatch. Whitey remembers Fright Night as the ideal gateway horror movie, scary enough for a young teenager but funny and accessible enough to keep bringing him back. Gow and Damo don't have that emotional safety net, so they judge the film in the cold, unforgiving light of 2026.That difference produces exactly the sort of Born to Watch discussion you'd expect.Chris Sarandon's Jerry Dandrige gets plenty of attention. Smooth, ridiculously confident and rocking some magnificent '80s wardrobe choices, Jerry might be the strongest thing the movie has going for it. The nightclub sequence gets examined, the seductive vampire powers are discussed, and Whitey can't help noticing some serious Michael Douglas vibes years before Basic Instinct arrived.Then there's Roddy McDowall as Peter Vincent, the former movie vampire killer who discovers that dealing with the real thing is considerably different from acting in front of a camera. The boys look back at McDowall's incredible career, from Planet of the Apes to his decades of film and television work, while deciding just how much Peter Vincent adds to Fright Night.But we need to talk about Evil Ed.Oh dear.Stephen Geoffreys' performance becomes one of the episode's biggest talking points, and not necessarily for the reasons the filmmakers hoped. Is Evil Ed deliberately annoying? Is he supposed to be funny? Is he operating in a completely different movie from everybody else? And most importantly, just how high can the Born to Watch annoyance scale actually go?The boys also dive into Amanda Bearse as Amy, William Ragsdale's Charlie, Charlie's questionable decision-making, Jerry's supernatural seduction abilities and the wonderfully bizarre logic that comes with trying to convince the police that the bloke next door is a vampire.There is plenty to admire visually. The practical effects still provide some of Fright Night's strongest moments, particularly as the film heads towards its creature-heavy finale. Melting faces, transformations, wolves, vampires, mist-covered houses, and gloriously physical '80s effects all remind us why this era of horror still has such a passionate following.Naturally, being Born to Watch, the conversation doesn't remain focused on vampires for very long.The boys wander through the movies of 1985, revisit the glory days of video shops, discuss horror films as a childhood rite of passage, remember a time when Australian television had only a handful of channels, somehow find their way into Married... with Children, debate vampire rules and take several conversational detours that absolutely nobody planned.There's also the usual critical analysis, questionable observations, movie trivia, overs and unders, the trailer breakdown, the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and enough inappropriate vampire discussion to ensure Bram Stoker is spinning violently in his grave.The biggest question, though, remains simple.Can nostalgia save Fright Night?For one member of the Born to Watch crew, this was once a genuine childhood favourite. Decades later, surrounded by two first-time viewers and forced to examine every strange performance, plot decision and ageing effect, those memories are about to face their toughest test yet.Grab the garlic, check the mirrors, lock the bedroom window and whatever you do, don't invite the new neighbour inside.It's time for Fright Night on Born to Watch.Born to Watch, the movie review podcast where we don't take the movies, or ourselves, too seriously.#FrightNight #FrightNight1985 #FrightNightReview #BornToWatch #MovieReviewPodcast #80sMovies #80sHorror #VampireMovies #HorrorMovies #CultMovies

But there's good reason to be hopeful— with developments in science and technology, a positive future is more viable than ever before. So, what if the future was awesome? Iseult Gillespie explores what three cities could look like in 100 years if we harness the tools we have at our disposal.

Rest In Peace to the legendary Dolly Parton. (1946 to 1986)In honor of he recent tragic passing, what better way to remember her than to review this '80's comedy classic, which was also her big screen debut.  Directed by Collin Higgins (Foul Play, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas), this is a frenetic tale of sexism, office politics, suspected murder, and REVENGE.  It focuses on three beleaguered co-workers at a fictional conglomerate named Judy (Oscar-winner Jane Fonda), Violet (Emmy-winner Lily Tomlin), and Doralee (Grammy-winner Dolly Parton)....and their despicable boss Frank played by late, great Emmy-winner Dabney Coleman (Tootsie, Wargames).  Frank has taken things way too far with his behavior as he has mistreated them all terribly, then an accident occurs, and then hilarity ensues!  Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

On our first Comic Book Bears livestream for August 2026, the CBB boys (Steve, Caleb and Billy Z) spoke about Spider-Man: Brand New Day soon after it was released to cinemas. Here we are at the end of the month and it is still dominating the global box office, and now that livestream is here in audio form! The movie is the 38th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the fourth film in the MCU Spider-Man film series. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Spider-Man: Brand New Day stars Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man alongside Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Florence Pugh, Marisa Tomei, and Mark Ruffalo with Sadie Sink as a major Marvel Comics character making her MCU debut. In the film, Peter Parker is on his own and dedicated to protecting New York City as Spider-Man, just as personal struggles and an evolutionary development to his superpowers complicate matters while contending with a new threat. As is the tradition when we have a film-based episode, we offer up what we thought of the movie (be forewarned, in a very spoileriffic manner) and then we each make a suggestion regarding a collected edition featuring characters from the film. After that we even get in a little bit of roundtable time to talk about some recent comics - in this case, Terminal #1 by Robert Kirkman, Joe Casey and Adam Kubert (Image Comics), the final installment of Heartstopper by Alice Oseman (Graphix) and the latest installments of Silence (#5: Dream and #6: Nightmare), the queer themed wordless project from Łukasz Majcher's Moom Comics! So hit play for all this and more! 

This week on BEHIND THE LENS, I've got an interesting and fun interview for you as I talk with director KEVIN MACDONALD about his new film, the psychological thriller THE RUNNER. Plus, it will tease you a bit before THE RUNNER releases on September 2nd on Prime Video! Directed by Kevin Macdonald, who you probably best know for The Last King of Scotland or How I Live Now (I also love his work with The Mauritanian and Black Sea), and written by Mark Gibson who has previously brought us the oh-so-fun Snow Dogs and the animated film The Wild, together they bring us THE RUNNER. THE RUNNER stars Gal Gadot as Maia Marten, a sharp, resourceful high-powered lawyer at the pinnacle of London's legal world. She is also a single mother. During her routine morning run, a single phone call shatters her world: her son has been taken. The instructions to get him back are simple and merciless — keep moving, follow every command, and tell no one. Stop, and he dies. Forced to sprint through the city and obey a series of sinister commands, Maia must confront an impossible question: how far will she go to bring her son home? A pulse-pounding psychological thriller set against the backdrop of London's hyper-connected streets, THE RUNNER is a visceral, high-stakes race where every second counts, every choice carries a price, and a mother's unstoppable love becomes the most dangerous weapon of all. http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

The first show on SportsGrid lands on the perfect day: Aaron Donald is officially coming out of retirement, one year, $20 million. Grant and John Browner break down whether he plays Week 1, why a lowball offer was never possible, and John's only real question — under which mattress did the Rams find that money? Mykell Mathieu joins live from Rams practice, where he asked Donald himself what brought him back, and makes the case this was one of the greatest offseasons any team has ever had. Josh Tariff arrives with the fantasy math on what might be the best statistical defense ever assembled, plus two sleepers worth stashing. Then: Odell Beckham Jr. returns to the Giants and John isn't buying nostalgia, Will Levis gets waived and John explains the cycle bad organizations can never escape, and the Fernando Mendoza argument comes back with a vengeance — put him out there and let him stink.

Even though Sing Sing was released in 2023, it weirdly feels like it was swallowed by the post-covid haze that caused many films to be overlooked or outright forgotten. Despite A24 fumbling the awards campaign and a limited release, it still managed to nab a few Academy Award nominations and has sustained a following by those who know. This biographical prison-drama has strong performances and is able to transcend the cliches of its genre, but what truly makes it stand out is the inclusion of several non-actors who were involved in the real life events that it was based on, blurring the line between biopic and documentary,Sing Sing (2023)Directed by Greg KwedarWritten by Greg Kwedar & Clint BentleyScore by Bryce DessnerStarring Colman Domingo, Clarence Maclin, Sean San Jose, Paul RaciLike what you hear?

Ben and Rob strap into the neural interface for ‘The Cell', Tarsem Singh's hallucinatory 2000 psychological thriller that turned a serial killer plot into one of the most visually audacious studio films of its era. Directed by Tarsem (billed under his mononym for his feature debut), the film stars Jennifer Lopez, Vince Vaughn and Vincent D'Onofrio, and plunges a child psychologist into the comatose mind of a killer to save his latest victim before time runs out.How did a music video director best known for R.E.M.'s “Losing My Religion” end up helming a big-budget studio thriller, and what did that background do to the way this film actually looks? What exactly is going on with the costume design, and how much of the film's dream logic was built in the fitting room rather than the script? Why does a movie this committed to style over sense still hold up as a genuine visual achievement more than two decades later, and is “it doesn't need to make sense” really a defence, or is that exactly the point?And finally… what does it really mean?!PLUS we have a Patreon with EXCLUSIVE content just for you starting at less than £2 a month!

When Ellie Green left her house on the night of June 19, 2019, she thought she and her mother would continue their conversation the following day. However, Ellie says that she was shocked to discover that, just four days later, her father had her mother committed to a psychiatric hospital and she wouldn't be allowed to see her. She was even more shocked when, a month later, she says that she was told that her mother had died from a stroke while in the hospital. Devastated by her mother's death, Ellie wanted an explanation of how someone so young could suddenly die, but each question was met with vague and confusion answers. This was just the beginning of the mystery surrounding her mother's disappearance. If anyone has any information about Angela Green's disappearance, investigators urge them to call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS. Information can also be sent to Steve Ridge directly at (319) 573-0657 or steveridge40@gmail.com. References Adler, Eric. 2023. "$25k reward offered for information on missing woman."
