Ep 142: Analyzing “American Nightmare” (Netflix, 2024)


Listen Later

Today we’re discussing the explosively popular Netflix docuseries, “American Nightmare.” Following the bizarre story — and devastating media aftermath — of a home invasion/kidnapping in Vallejo, CA, we are shown that the real American nightmare is not the crime itself, but the institutional response to victims of that crime. Denise Huskins and her boyfriend Aaron Quinn find themselves on the wrong end of local police, FBI, and news media spin despite all attempts to act in good faith. With lots to chew on regarding the justice system and the way Americans stay informed, this documentary will blow you away with its twists, turns, and improbability. Let’s get into it!
