'EXPOSES' and 'KILLS' in capitals promise dark insider detail, and naming Michael Franzese at the end tells true crime fans exactly who is talking.
Two faces viewers know from the screen, each with a red X, sit beside the weathered, real face of the guest, so fiction and fact read side by side.
When your guest or expert knows the real version of something films or TV made famous, show the famous fictional version crossed out beside them. Let the title promise what the screen version left out.
