NBC 'Dateline' episode 'Breaking Point' with Josh Mankiewicz

DATELINE on NBC. The episode called, "Breaking Point" aired earlier this year (2026). I listened to the podcast and was intrigued by the murder. We will never know the complete truth.

Morgan Fox (29 yrs.) was shot while getting into her car. She worked the graveyard shift as a package handler in a Fed-Ex building. It is the year 2020 (Covid) and what surprised me is the male "sexist" environment. They way the young men looked down on her because she is a woman. After her murder. The Fed-Ex company had to payout $4 million to Morgan's family. They never protected her as an employee. It makes you angry because this is 2020.

IMO - Fed-Ex is to blame for her death. The young man who killed her could've been stopped. He stalked another female worker before Morgan. She had to quit because of his stalking.

What is intriguing is the mystery surrounding her murder. There is no evidence placing the killer at the crime scene. The police detectives built a strong circumstantial case. The closest they came was the gunshot residue in the suspects car. He even washed his car twice on a rainy day. His alibi had his iPhone at his home and it is assumed he was there during the murder of Morgan.

We may never know what really happened because the killer will take it to his grave. His interview with Josh revealed nothing - but denial. He had answers for everything and will spend life in prison admitting nothing.

Check out the YouTube episode. If it is taken down. Go to the NBC Podcast for "Breaking Point."

AI Teaser Trailer 'Odysseus: The Fall' will try to compete with 'The Odyssey' 2026

ODYSSEUS: THE FALL from FOUNTAIN-O (2026). The AI generated movie will be 2-hours long without real people. It uses the likeness of Ash Koosha who is the writer, director and producer of "Odysseus." There are no actors. This is supposed to be the alternative to Christopher Nolan's, "The Odyssey."

"Fountain-O" submitted the AI generated, "Dreams of Violets" to this year's Tribeca film festival (2026). Critics were not impressed.

This is the new trend until AI gets better with storytelling. Progressive filmmakers no longer want to use actors, but only visuals. It saves money as an alternative to big budget movies in Hollywood. My question is, "Why use the likeness of regular people. When you can simply create an animated film? But, they don't want to use real actors. So, the voices are AI generated.

Which brings us to AI storytelling with horrible dialogue. Check out this teaser trailer and the stilted dialogue and the expression-less characters. It just doesn't work. Do you really want to sit in a movie theater for 2-hours watching this?

AI is everywhere now and not just in entertainment. This new trend of AI movies will become an alternative to real film-making. But - for how long? It gets boring after a while.

Below is the AI teaser trailer for "The Odysseus: The Fall."
