[video] Aftermath with William Shatner - Bernard Goetz

"Two-time Emmy Award-winner William Shatner takes an in-depth look at what happens when people are tragically or infamously transformed from unknown citizens into household names overnight. Stories like those of Jessica Lynch, Bernhard Goetz and the DC Sniper victims put previously unknown names on the mind of every American, and Shatner intends to find out how the lives of all those directly affected by these cases have changed forever since becoming front-page news. Aftermath with William Shatner takes viewers back to these dramatic events through exclusive access to the newsmakers at the heart of each case — the heroes, villains, perpetrators (when possible), victims, family members, and law enforcement officials — to dig deep into their stories and separate the fact from the fiction. In every sixty-minute episode, new and often surprising information emerges, not only about these events themselves but about how people’s lives have changed in the years since they made headlines. Stories will include some of the biggest breaking news stories of the last two decades including Jessica Lynch, the DC Sniper victims, the Unabomber, Bernhard Goetz, Mary Kay Letourneau, and the Weaver Family of Ruby Ridge." -- iTunes Store

Episode Summary
In this episode of Aftermath, William Shatner sits down with Bernard Goetz, known to many as the Subway Vigilante. After years of silence on the subject, Goetz now talks openly of the day in 1984 when he shot four African American teenagers on the New York City subway -- but with a bizarre emphasis on the mechanics of how he was able to fire off five shots at four people in such a short burst of time. Hero or criminal? Victim or perpetrator? Goetz wonders whether he would have lived a normal life of marriage and family if fate and notoriety hadn't intervened.

[video] Growing Up Twisted - Baptism By Snider

"Dee Snider was an undeniable presence in the 1980s, instantly recognizable as the frontman of heavy metal band Twisted Sister. He wore his makeup as loud as he played has music, and spent most of his time on the road, touring with the band. Now he’s just one of six — a regular guy (and grandfather!) with a wife and four kids living in the suburbs of Long Island. In Growing Up Twisted, A&E follows Snider, his powerhouse of a wife Suzette, and their offbeat but tight-knit family as they navigate life in Stony Brook, New York. Married for over 30 years, Snider and Suzette have raised their children to be fiercely independent and strong-willed: Jesse is an aspiring rock musician, husband and new father; Shane is the Snider’s resident comic and hopeful stand-up; Cody’s a budding filmmaker and quintessential troublemaker; and Cheyenne is Daddy’s little girl, about to make the tough transition to teenager. They’re a rock-solid family of inimitable individuals not afraid to speak their minds — with the nonstop and entertaining dialogue usually directed at one another. Growing Up Twisted shows how, despite their father’s rock star status, the Sniders are just like every other family . . . only not at all." -- iTunes Store

[music] Ryan Star - Breathe

"Long Island–born singer/songwriter Ryan Star was pegged as "the indie guy" on the reality TV show Rockstar. He didn’t win the competition, but he soon found himself signing on the dotted line with Atlantic Records. He’s got a gravelly voice that’s apt to soar over big, thundering kick drums and sensitive piano phrases. Lyrically, Breathe speaks to the simple act of letting go and learning to trust." -- iTunes Store
