At the Bonanza Creek Ranch in Bonanza City, New Mexico, a revolver goes off. The film Rust ended in a tragic incident on October 21, 2021, when Alec Baldwin shot a prop gun during rehearsals that contained live rounds, ultimately leading to the unfortunate death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The prop gun that killed Halyna Hutchins was allegedly announced empty to everyone on set before being passed off to Alec Baldwin f or the rehearsal takes. Alec Baldwin states "I'm handed a gun and someone declares it and says this is a cold gun". This would lead to one of the most tragic events of film history where someone is shot and killed on set in almost 30 years. How did this happen? What went wrong? The terrible incident completely altered Mr. Baldwin's life and career.

The Dogmatics might very well be the most emblematic Boston band of this half-century, that too-few people know about. They gained notoriety with a loyal following in the Boston music scene, and beyond. The quartet was no different than any other talentless, self-deprecating, beer-swilling, girl-chasing lunkheads with guitars. It wasn't about money. Catching a girl's eye, a free round of drinks, or simply completing a song in unison were their rewards. Fans and fellow bands in Massachusetts look fondly on the decades of positive ripple effects their presence (still to this day) has on the local music scene. This documentary is a labor of love by family and friends, crafted as a tribute to the Dogmatics' late co-founder and bassist Paul O'Halloran. See how the band came into being in the early 1980s, rising out of a pocket of musical talent in the South Shore area near Boston. At its core, this is a story of brothers - by both blood and bond.

If the Palace thought that 2023 would be a quieter year after the drama and tragedy of 2022 then the release of Prince Harry's autobiography Spare has just about destroyed all hope. The book has caused international frenzy amongst the media and the public. Opinion is now more divided than ever on whether Prince Harry should retain his royal titles. Though Harry and Meghan fled the royal family for a second chance at the private life they always wanted, the world refused to let them go quietly. Despite their escape, the media's continued attention cased a barrage of headlines, flaring up rumour after scandalous rumour about the couple and the royal family. In order to set the record straight, they decided to tell their own side of the story, giving a tell-all series of interviews, podcasts and Netflix documentary series. But eclipsing all of the revelations shared previously, in January 2023 Harry released his controversial and much-anticipated autobiography, Spare.
