Hello ,

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the Fall weather that has finally arrived! My scarves and I have been waiting for this. Only two more newsletters (I think) until Halloween, but until then, read some news about the arts, including a mock-umentary, a fan’s perspective on the new Taylor Swift album and movie reviews!

Enjoy the rest of your week!

The Onion’s Jeffrey Epstein mockumentary comes to South Minneapolis’s Trylon Cinema

by Nicholas Scibelli | Published October 5, 2025

The Onion’s satirical Jeffrey Epstein documentary, “Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile,” debuted at Trylon and several other small theaters across the country. 

Known primarily for its satirical news articles, The Onion marked its latest foray into national events with a fictional investigative documentary of deceased billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, arrested in 2019 for sex trafficking minors. The satirical documentary, or mockumentary, interviews several mock experts who share their opinion on the true cause of Epstein’s death, whose declared suicide remains a political scandal.
