a few cases while the Post Office management covered up the
disgracefully bad system. It has been called the worst miscarriage of

Let's not blame the system. Let's blame the high-level coverup.
it and, of the people that designed it, only 1 or 2 were actual capable
and competent and the rest ranged between borderline and awful.
Computer Weekly has dozens of articles on the subject from the past 20
odd years that this scandal has been happening. I don't know how comprehensible they would be to you without a computer background but
they stagger my imagination.
I saw the documentary some time back, which was fascinating.
Isn't there also a movie?
How long was this documentary that you saw? Mr. Bates vs The Post
Office has 4 hour long parts (45 minutes each minus the commercials).
Is that what you saw? If not, then I think Mr. Bates *is* the movie
you're talking about. (I assume the documentary featured interviews
with the actual participants in the events but Mr. Bates is essentially
a re-enactment of the events with actors in place of the real
participants, just as the Erin Brockovich movie was.)

I saw the documentary some time back, which was fascinating.
Isn't there also a movie?

Seriously?

Secret Life of a Sorority Girl (movie) (8 pm, Lifetime >> Channel)
When single mother Cheryl finds out her daughter Ashley is dancing as
a pole dancer at a night club to pay her way through college, she is
furious and threatens to disown her. She regrets their fight when
Ashley goes missing and police provide no help finding her. Cheryl is
certain the key to finding her daughter lies in the club she worked
at. To gain the trust of the dancers and patrons, Cheryl gets a job as
a dancer at the club. Cheryl doesn’t tell anyone who she is until she
gains the trust of bartender Jake, who agrees to help find Ashley. But
every lead they follow ends nowhere. Cheryl finds herself falling in
love with Jake–only to discover that his brother Rick is the one who
kidnapped Ashley and is holding her prisoner. Rick is in love with
Ashley and envisioned having a life with her. But Jake refuses to turn
in Rick and traps Cheryl in the basement with Ashley. Stars Jessica
Morris (who has an amazing 12 titles listed as forthcoming on IMDb,
but this is not one of them), Philip Boyd, and Jessica Lynn Wallace.
Not on IMDb.

And this one still doesn't have an IMDb page...
I'm not sure I will have the time to put one together today.

So stupid question - what's a security influencer? Deputy Bubba with a
pistol and billy club?

Note: Tubi's press release for April lists a movie called "Snatched"
for tonight, but it's not yet available and appears to have been
postponed until next Saturday.
Confirmed - I find no Tubi original named "Snatched" on Tubi right now. (However, 1973's "Invasion of the Girl Snatchers" sounds like a movie
that's right up Amin's alley!!)

My forthcoming programming list for the week has two Tubi entries for
today, with my best guesses as to when they were actually released:
--Robin
Snatched (movie) (3:01 am, Tubi)
When a dangerous criminal from her past breaks out of prison, a former
CIA agent must tap back into her lethal skills to protect her family.
Stars Veronika Bozeman; 1 hr 41 min. [Originally announced for April 6
(in Tubi's March 19 press release describing Tubi's April additions),
but Tubi's trailer (posted April 10) dates it for today, and it is in
fact available as of 2 am ET today. I think it was released this morning].

Billion Dollar Bluff (movie) (3:01 am, Tubi)
When a popular influencer gets kidnapped and held for ransom, she grips
the media’s attention by helping the criminals rob luxurious mansions. Stars Bukola Ayoka; 1 hr 27 min. [This was originally announced for
today (in Tubi's March 19 press release), but Tubi's trailer (posted on
April 10) states (as of 2 am ET today) that the movie is available now,
and it is. Additionally, the director posted the trailer on X on April
11. I think it's likely that this was released on April 10.]
