The Way Brothers on Their Latest Stranger Than Fiction Docuseries ‘The Kings of Tupelo: A Southern Crime Saga’

Addie Morfoot Contributor If you don’t remember that story about Everett Dutschke, a Mississippi karate instructor who mailed ricin to President Obama in 2013 and then attempted to frame Elvis impersonator/conspiracy theorist Kevin Curtis for the crime, don’t worry.

The new Netflix three-part docuseries “The Kings of Tupelo: A Southern Crime Saga” covers every inch of the stranger-than-fiction story that includes a cast of characters that rival those in “Tiger King.” The docu begins with Curtis stumbling upon a severed head in a hospital refrigerator.

That leads to a feud between Curtis and Steve Holland, a funeral home owner and Congressman who believes that he can publicly “fuck a bull moose” on the steps of a county courthouse and still win an election.

The fight between Curtis and Holland becomes the catalyst for more feuds, which ultimately leads to utter chaos involving cars exploding, a house burning down, incarceration, cyberstalking, a drive-by shooting of an elephant, infidelity, and ultimately, the 2013 assassination attempt of President Obama.
