FICTION

"The Incorruptibility of Bodies" by Sean H. Doyle

Where: WhiskeyPaper

TELEVISION


Where: NBC, Saturdays, 10 p.m.

FILM


Where: Netflix

Why: James "The Amazing" Randi is one of the all-time great lovers of truth. This documentary covers his big hits, including uncovering a fraudulent, money worshipping evangelist and, of course, that wacktard Uri Geller and his bullshit spoons.
