In this premiere episode of "The God Hook," host Carol Costello introduces the chilling story of Richard Beasley, infamously known as the Ohio Craigslist Killer. In previously unreleased jailhouse recordings, Beasley portrays himself as a devout Christian, concealing his manipulative and predatory behavior. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Beasley's deceitfulness extends beyond the victims he buried in shallow graves.

The Accountant is a bizarre blend of action thriller and character study that somehow works, thanks to slick direction, sharp action, and Ben Affleck’s quietly compelling lead.
Training Day is a gripping, adrenaline-fueled ride with powerhouse performances, especially Denzel Washington, and razor-sharp tension—some twists go big, but it all adds up to a killer experience!
The Outsiders captures the spirit of the novel with a legendary cast and heartfelt moments, but its rushed pacing keeps it from fully landing the emotional punches!
The Day After Tomorrow starts with a thrilling disaster spectacle, but once the storms settle, it drags into a dull survival slog that leaves us out in the cold.
Smokin’ Aces is a chaotic, over-the-top thrill ride with a stacked cast, wild action, and enough style to keep us hooked—we had a blast watching the bullets fly...again!
The 13th Warrior is an underrated gem with atmospheric action and a great premise, but studio meddling and a muddled script keep it from reaching its full epic potential!
Ang Lee’s Hulk is a fascinating misfire—ambitious in vision, but bogged down by a sluggish pace, odd artistic choices, and a lack of the smashing fun fans expected. Less talk more hulk smash!
"Executive Decision" is a tense, action-packed thrill ride with some great surprises, solid performances, and just the right amount of suspense to keep you hooked!
Demon Knight is a delightfully campy, action-packed horror film that blends gory thrills, dark humor, a scenery chewing Billy Zane, and supernatural chaos into a cult classic experience!
Zero Effect offers an interesting premise and moments of sharp dialogue but struggles with uneven pacing and a protagonist who can be more confusing than compelling!
What was the last movie you watched before the world shut down? For some of us, it was this little nugget of smokey British gangsters playing cat and mouse!
Spirited takes a shot at reinventing A Christmas Carol as so many have before! Is this any better than the countless other versions that have come out over the many years since Dickens first put pen to paper?
How does a sequel to a 24 year old Academy Award Winning film hold up in today's day and age? As a spiritual successor or as a tribute band playing the original acts' greatest hits?
For our 300th Episode, we decided to check out a cult classic straight from the heart of Uganda! We've watched a lot of box office bombs and felt it was time to watch a viral hit sensation with practically no budget!
Despite a lukewarm reception upon its initial release, Unbreakable holds up as one the best deconstructions of the super hero film genre anchored by stellar camera work and a brilliant core four of actors!
Unleashed delivers a compelling mix of martial arts action and emotional depth, with Jet Li showcasing both his intense fighting skills and heartfelt vulnerability! Plus Bob Hoskins delivers an amazing villainous performance to keep you hooked!
The Wolverine amps up the action while giving us a deeper, more vulnerable look at Logan, making it a needed turning point in the character's story. Even though the pacing slows down at times, Hugh Jackman's claw-gripping performance keep you hooked from start to finish!
We're only on Decontamination Stage 2 and we have 3 more left!
