Special Report: Dead Man's Line (2018)

Special Report: Dead Man's Line (2018) Special Guests: Mark Enochs, Alan Berry

Mike talks with Alan Berry and Mark Enochs, the filmmakers behind Dead Man's Line (2018), a chilling dive into one of America’s most disturbing true-crime stories. The conversation traces how the directors reconstructed the life and legend of Tony Kiritsis, whose 1977 hostage standoff transfixed the nation and blurred the line between media spectacle and lived horror.

Berry and Enochs unpack their research, ethical choices, and the challenge of shaping archival chaos into a tense, humane documentary. They also discuss the struggles for distribution and the obligatory Hollywood remake, Dead Man's Wire, the 2026 release from director Gus Van Sant and writer Austin Kolodney.
