What to Watch This Weekend: Evil Genius

What to Watch This Weekend: Evil Genius

With cable, Netflix, and internet options, finding the best thing to watch during your downtime is difficult. Instead of flipping through menus all weekend and settling on nothing, turn to What to Watch This Weekend, a series in which we give you our pick for the best new show or movie available.

The supremely talented Duplass brothers deliver a thrilling documentary to Netflix subscribers this weekend, and if you binged things like Making a Murderer or The Jinx you should tune in ASAP. Evil Genius: The True Story of America’s Most Diabolical Bank Heist is about one of the most bizarre stories ever to involve the FBI. In 2003, Brian Wells, a pizza deliveryman, walked uncomfortably into a bank in Eerie, Pennsylvania, with a bomb. The bomb was a strange apparatus connected to his neck like something out of a Saw movie. After warning the cops that the bomb would go off, it did, killing Wells and setting in motion one of the oddest cases in recent memory. Link
