Fresh Meat: Jeffrey Dahmer (2021): Directed by Kevin Barry. this Tubi original documentary has drawn some ire online for featuring podcasters in the place of actual experts as well as several inaccuracies, including it claiming that Dahmer lived in the Oxford Apartments in 1988 when he didn’t move in until May 1990; that he accidentally took Halcion when he killed Steven Tuomi in 1987, but this actually happened in May of 1990 as well. They also are three years off on the Konerak Sinthasimphone incident which happened on May 27, 1991, not September 26, 1988. Thanks to IMDB user corbettc-23259 for pointing this out.
It also talks as much about other cannibals and killers like Ed Gein and Luka Magnotta when most are watching this to learn more about Dahmer. Then again, if you are watching this, you probably have already seen so many other documentaries all about him and will be upset by how little this gets into his homelife and reasons for killing, much less how much it gets wrong. Like how Ed Gein is from Plainfield, WI. Not Plainville. This is a simple editing issue that should have been caught and yet, like so much of this documentary, so much is just plain incorrect.
You can watch this on Tubi.
Fresh Meat: Killing Dahmer (2023): This was directed by Victoria Duley, who directed or produced several Tubi Originals like Scariest Places In the World, Scariest Monsters In the World, Queen of Crypto, Scariest Places In America, Love You to Death: Gabby Petito, Defying Death: Surviving Jaws, Evil Among Us: The Golden State Killer, Queen of Cocaine, Gone Before Her Time: Brittany Murphy, Mystery Unsolved: The Adnan Syed Story, Love You to Death: The Jodi Arias Story, Evil Among Us: Ted Bundy, Suburban Nightmare: JonBenet Ramsey, Lights, Camera, Murder: Scream, Battle of the Beasts: Bigfoot vs. Yeti, Killing Diana, Suburban Nightmare: The Menendez Brothers, Sins of the Father: The Green River Killer, Scariest Monsters In America, Mysteries from the Grave: Titanic, Gone Before Her Time, Pass the Mic, Suburban Nightmare: Chris Watts, Zombies!

Unlike the first Fresh Meat on Dahmer and how he was arrested, this is more about how he became a victim himself within the walls of Columbia Correctional Institution in Portage, Wisconsin when he was beaten to death by Christopher Scarver. Through interviews — you know, as always in these Tubi docs, podcast experts but I guess that’s where journalism is — and dramatized re-enactments, this tries to get to the bottom and tell the truth of just how the most famous killer could be murdered when he should have been guarded.
You can watch this on Tubi.
B&S About Movies 
Yeah, I watched this a few weeks ago, couldn’t finish it for the reasons you mentioned.
The new Freddie Prinze document was another couldn’t finish film. That was also nothing but a bunch of talking heads babbling their opinions with none of the people that were there, and a pieces of a couple of edited clips of Freddie’s stand up. But ended up watching the very early Jeremy Renner in Dahmer (on Tubi), so it worked out (Renner is good, the movie not). Did you ever see My Friend Dahmer? Awful, didn’t finish it.
You should do a “serial killer” week of bio films.

I saw My Friend Dahmer with the creator of the comic it was based on speaking before. His comic is really well done.

Yes. I have heard from other the comic well graphic novel, is very well done…but it didn’t translate to film as far as I can tell, though the idea of what Dahmer was like as a teen, is intriquing. Two graphic novels to film I really enjoyed was Ghost World and American Splendor. They really nailed it with all the characters in both films and feel like sequels and in the same verse-time.
