As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

"You inherited all of this – for a price. Samuel Goldwyn Films has revealed the official trailer for an indie horror creation called Curse of the Sin Eater, marking the feature directorial debut of Texas filmmaker Justin Denton. This initially premiered at Panic Fest 2024 earlier this year, and it'll be out on VOD to watch in September. Rick – a desperate, poor construction worker – makes a deal with a dying business mogul to inherit his billions. Rick soon discovers that the deal, involving eating the man's corpse, also means that he has been cursed to inherit the man's terrifying sins - the many crimes the billionaire committed in order to build his fortune. The film stars Carter Shimp as Rick, Elizabeth Laidlaw, Marcelo Wright, & Larry Yando. This sounds and looks absolutely disgusting and horrifying. What a concept! A truly terrifying way to show how rotten wealth is and how that corruption passes on. Some extra freaky moments in this trailer.

Douglas, GA

A man out on probation for drug charges less than a year ago and a woman from Douglas were recently arrested following a search at a local apartment. On August 7, 2024, at around 1:00 PM, Detectives from the Coffee County Sheriff's Office Drug Unit were conducting a proactive narcotics patrol in Douglas. During their patrol, a detective spotted 30-year-old Christopher Lamar Hawkins, who had outstanding warrants for fleeing police and methamphetamine possession, driving a white 2021 Kia Sorento. Hawkins was stopped in front of apartment 203/204 on N Wheeler Ave, where two detectives approached him. Breanna Henderson, 33, then came out of apartment 203 to "investigate what was going on with Hawkins" and appeared to whisper with Hawkins during his arrest. The report states that Henderson, who temporarily lived with Hawkins, began whispering with him "presumably about nefarious activities due to Hawkins's previous history with drug distribution and evading law enforcement."

One of the key reasons why Netflix remains the No. 1 streamer is that it carefully curates its programming to include original series and older shows that were originally shown on cable or broadcast networks. Earlier this year, Netflix added Dexter to its lineup, followed by Lost in July. Now, Prison Break has come to the streamer, and it’s our pick for the one Netflix show that you need to stream this August.
