  • This Week: Dahmer, First Man, At Eternity's Gate

    This Week: Dahmer, First Man, At Eternity's Gate
    Jul 22 2024
    BOATS THIS WEEK (JULY 22-28,2024) — Events from this week in history include Jeffrey Dahmer's confession on July 22nd, 1991. We'll learn how well Netflix's 2022 smash hit series Monster shows that happening. This week also marks the end of the Apollo 11 mission on July 24th, 1969, but we'll have a special minisode coming out on Wednesday for that, so today we'll back up a couple days to compare the movie First Man's depiction of the lunar landing from a couple days ago on July 20th, 1969. Our final event takes us to France this week in 1890 to where Vincent van Gogh was shot...by himself? Or someone else? We'll compare history with how the movie At Eternity's Gate shows this week's event. And last but certainly not least, our 'based on a true story' movie from this week in history is an action movie called Shamshera, which released on July 22nd, 2022. Until next time, here's where you can continue the story.
