  • Return to The Trial of the Century w/ Nathan & Nick

    Nathan and Nick didn't witness the Trial of the Century when it was happening. Thankfully, American Crime Story did a 10-part series on it that they finally got around to seeing, and they have some thoughts.

    The People vs. OJ Simpson starring Cuba Gooding Jr, Courtney B. Vance, and Sarah Paulson was a brilliant reimagining of the OJ Simpson trial and the madness that surrounded it.

    Nathan and Nick walk through all ten episodes, and the moments they couldn't believe were actually true in this special bonus episode of Film Code!
