Welcome to the Tweep Trends podcast. Hey, Evette, what's trending today? Hey, I'm Evette, hey girl. And you are tuned in to Tweep Trends.
It's the quickest way to find out what's trending today. Today, let's talk about Tyler Perry and never seen again. Let's get started. I'm not quite sure how this lit past my radar, but this morning I was watching CBS this morning, and Tyler Perry was on there.
And he was talking about this new show. He's the executive producer for the first two episodes of a new Paramount Plus documentary series called Never Seen Again. And this show is about family members who basically vanished in thin air. They went missing, and the people who are left behind, their loved ones and friends, they have no idea what happened to them.
And they're basically trying to get justice. They want to know where their loved ones are, what happened to them, and just kind of bring closure to the situation. And so I was really into this. I'm like, wow, because this reminds me of that old show that first came out back in 88, America's Most Wanted.
The host for that show was John Walsh, John Walsh. And he basically appealed to the viewers to be on the lookout for criminals that were profiled on the show. And from what I understand, there were a lot of people brought to justice in a lot of cases that were solved because of the show, because people actually saw these people around. And I admit, I loved watching that show, but I was always afraid that I was going to see somebody on there that I knew.
Not that I was afraid to tell, because I've always been a run-tail, that kind of girl. But just the whole idea that somebody you may know may have a completely different life somewhere else in the country, and you think they're one thing and they're something completely different. So, like I said, so this show sounds like it's going to be very similar to what America's Most Wanted was. To generate awareness of the program, Paramount Plus made the first episode available up through yesterday.
So that's where my apology comes in. Sorry that I didn't get this to you for you to see it for free. That first episode, however, if you have Paramount Plus, you might want to consider checking this out, because I think this is going to be a pretty good docuseries. The thing to keep in mind with this is that this is a documentary series.
So these are real mysteries about real people who've disappeared from their families, from relationships, their lives have been abandoned, and the families and friends and loved ones are just left behind with theories and speculation, really, because they don't have many answers. They want to know, well, where did they go? What happened? Why did they run away?
Were the victims of foul play? There are so many questions out there, and the goal of this particular series is hopefully somebody out there has seen something, somebody knows something, there's a clue somewhere where you can bring it in and possibly come to some type of conclusion, maybe find the person or if remains are all that's left, find out just so that these families can have closure. So the key question, the critical question that this show poses is the fact that someone out there knows something, is it you? Tonight, midnight Pacific 3 a.m.
Eastern, Paramount Plus will be releasing all of the episodes of season one. So you'll be able to see all of them if you want to at one time. Each episode is only 30 minutes long, so it's not that big of a time commitment, and from what I've been able to see, there are five episodes to this first season. The first episode is about a gentleman by the name of Terrence Williams.
He goes missing and it appears that in the second episode, they also mention Terrence Williams and another young man who goes missing by the name of Philippe Santos. Then the third episode is about Matthew Weaver, Jr. The fourth episode is about Daniel Robinson, and then the fifth episode is about Marshall Iwasa. So my thought is, if there is any possible way that you can provide information to these families to possibly help them get one step closer to closure, then that's great.
That's amazing. And a lot of times we don't think that we know stuff like, oh, I don't go that many places, I don't do that much stuff, but you never know if the people around you have been involved in something, or maybe you've heard something, or the name sounds familiar, or even the person's face, you're like, hey, I've seen that person. You never know. So why not give it a chance?
Because God is no respecter of persons. So just like this family is in this situation, there is nothing keeping you from not being in that situation as well. So why not go ahead and give it a shot? Who knows?
You may not. None of the stuff may be familiar at all, but hey, maybe after seeing it, you'll keep your eyes open for certain things. It'll alert you to being more mindful of the people who are around you and the things that are going on and the things that you're seeing. Thank you for listening to today's episode.
And before I go, let me gripe real quick, because I didn't mention the one thing about this whole thing that I didn't like. I don't like that this is on a subscription-based streaming platform. Why not have this on a regular channel where everybody has access to it and they can see it? By being on Paramount Plus, you have to have a Paramount Plus subscription, in order to watch it.
I have a big problem with that. It seems like Paramount Plus wants to help. However, because people have to pay for it, you're going to limit the number of people that get to see the episodes. Therefore, you're going to limit the amount of assistance that may come from the stories that these families have to share.
So having said all of that, if by chance you have not used the free seven-day trial for Paramount Plus, I'll include a link for that so that you can do that. And then I guess if you like it, you can stick with it. If you don't, you can always cancel it and not have to worry about it. And you got seven days and because there are only five episodes each one, 30 minutes, yeah, you got plenty of time to knock them all out.
Okay? So I will post that probably on YouTube or Twitter or hey, you know what I'm finding, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube at hey, that's at H-E-Y-E-D-E-T-E or just look at the hashtag tweettrans.
