86. The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader Murdering Mom
This dark comedy follows the strange true story of Wanda Holloway, who was accused in Channelview Texas in 1991. Holloway was accused of hiring a hitman to kill Verna Heath, the mother of Holloway’s daughter’s supposed cheerleading rival. And then everyone tried to cash in, including Holloway and Heath. It’s a bizarre movie, and a bizarre story. But it stars Holly Hunter, and we love her!
