Cloudy with a Chance of Murder

American Crime Story: The People v. O.J. Simpson is a 2016 anthology TV series starring Cuba Gooding Jr. (O.J. Simpson), Sterling K. Brown (Christopher Darden), Kenneth Choi (Judge Lance Ito), Nathan Lane (F. Lee Bailey), Sarah Paulson (Marcia Clark), David Schwimmer (Robert Kardashian), John Travolta (Robert Shapiro), Courtney B. Vance (Johnnie Cochran), Bruce Greenwood (Gil Garcetti), Christian Clemenson (Bill Hodgman), and Steven Pasquale (Mark Fuhrman). I'm a fan of Ryan Murphy (who is one of this show's executive producers and also directed a few episodes), so when I saw that Netflix had American Crime Story , I had to watch it.

I've written about Hollyweird Paranormal, a podcast hosted by Tammie Merheb-Chavez and Brice Mitchell Williams that combines true crime and the paranormal (two of my favorite things), on my paranormal blog a few times, and I've listened to every episode because I love it so much.

When the car drove away, the wagon was still there, but Johnny was gone. Noreen and her husband, John, w...
