Behind the Doc

On the sixtieth anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, former White House correspondent Paul Brandus takes an in-depth look at the seemingly unconnected events that led to that infamous afternoon in Dallas, Texas. He explores the troubled and broken life of Kennedy’s killer, Lee Harvey Oswald, and challenges six decades worth of conspiracy theories—none of which have been proven.

Warning: This episode may ruin your childhood. If you grew up in the ’90’s like we did, you’ve probably seen an episode of two of “Ren & Stimpy,” and if not, you’ve definitely heard of it. It was the biggest cartoon of it’s time, known for it’s outrageous content, original artwork, and grotesque images that kids loved! By all appearances things couldn’t be better for “Ren & Stimpy.” Behind the scenes it was a different story though. A dictator, grueling hours, and loads of controversy. This is “Happy Happy Joy Joy: The Ren & Stimpy Story.”
