The Disappearance of Shere Hite

The Disappearance of Shere Hite examines the life and work of Shere Hite whose books on masturbation and female sexuality caused an immediate stir and brought conversations about sexuality, gender, love, autonomy, and gender, which are still debated go this day, to the forefront of national discourse. A researcher, feminist, and author, the documentary covers both Hite’s work and the backlash they caused both to her personally and later to the feminist movement which eventually led to her to leave the United States, renounce her citizenship, and spend the remainder of her life in Europe.

Spenser: For Hire - At the River's Edge

Throwback Tuesday takes us back to the mean streets of Boston and the travails of a smart ass private detective. Spenser’s (Robert Urich) latest case comes to him in an odd manner when he and Susan (Barbara Stock) witness what appears to be an armed robbery. After wounding the attacker and corning him in the parking garage, rather than be taken alive the criminal commits suicide allowing for several comments and ribbing from Spenser’s friends afterwards about his power to compel suspects to take their own lives. Spenser is left with a mystery but no client, at least until the victim’s prepubescent sister (Carrie Kei Heim) decides to hire him. Spenser makes a tenuous connection between the dead attacker and the victim, both with a connection to a preacher with a growing national following.

Known as a rotten, when his body dies the unborn demon will rise.
