On August 22/23:

WGN Superstation is playing Summer of Sam. Too much summer and not enough Son of Sam in my view.

Later, SPIKE is running Highwaymen, a film that has commonalities with a series of unsolved hit and run murders in California during the early 1990s. Although most critics don't agree, of these two, I like this one much better.
