Anthony Marrero: Last News

Pride miniseries), Last Call: When A Serial Killer Stalked Queer New York is a four-part true crime docuseries that, yes, re-examines the ghastly murders, but also highlights the heroes and activists who fought to keep their community protected.Much like the investigative book on which its based—Elon Green’s Last Call: A True Story Of Love, Lust, And Murder In Queer New York—the documentary chooses to focus more on the victims rather than the mysterious assailant, known as the Last Call Killer.Through a series of interviews with surviving friends and family members, Last Call pays tribute to the lives taken over a three year period between ’91 and ’93: Peter Anderson, Thomas Mulcahy, Anthony Marrero, and Michael Sakara.Not unlike last year’s divisive scripted series from Ryan Murphy, Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, the documentary is sure to have its critics as it revisits some of the ghastly details surrounding these heinous murders, but Last Call also aims to shine a light on the systemic issues that only exacerbated the horrors at hand.The cousin of one of Dahmer’s victims says their family is “pissed” about Netflix‘s new miniseries about the serial killer.Per an official synopsis form HBO, the docuseries will delve “deeply into the prejudices and attitudes of the times, when deep-rooted biases in the criminal justice system and the media’s distorted public perception of the victims undermined the investigation and enabled a brutal killer to prey on a marginalized populace.”The four-part documentary will premiere July 9 on HBO and stream simultaneously on Max. You can watch the trailer below:What makes this case so intoxicating?
