Let's talk about *documentaries* 🧐👀

The Hotel Cecil was super interesting. Decent shock value at the end too

The Ted Bundy Tapes was a great documentary. I started Bad Vegan, but got interrupted.

There was one about The Manson Family too that was pretty good. Had footage from when they all lived on that movie ranch with all the horses. Doing acid.

Is it worth finishing?!? I watched the first three episodes and they were taking their sweet time getting to the point. I felt the first episode was good. Episode two was okay. Episode three was too long. So I stopped.

See it through. You can slap me later if you don’t like it, but I think it’s worth it

Alright. One more episode to go, then. They better find her ghost is now haunting a bordello or something.

Way more disturbing than that

I love the ted Bundy tapes, basically anything about serial killers. Also Bad Vegan was pretty interesting. All on Netflix

Bad vegan was crazy and sooo not what I expected it was about!!

I was a little disappointed. Both the Night Stalker and John Wayne Gacey were fucking fantastic though.

Google released a good technically a mini-series but if you watch it in one go it's a documentary called HACKING GOOGLE. Highly recommend.

I also got a lot of guilty pleasure from all the Theranos documentaries

I watched all episodes last night after reading your post. Brilliant. x

Most of the things done by Ken Burns are certainly worth watching.

Saw "Facing Nolan" recently, by Russell Wayne Groves, it was good. It was about Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan.

The Codebreaker...fascinating doc about a woman who's been historically overlooked, but also one of the greatest EVER...It's on PBS...American Experience...

Most of what I watch any more is documentaries. Lately I've been big on space and space exploration, love astronomy and cosmology.

History is my other big category, specifically World War II and Civil War era.

Just can't get enough knowledge.

Anyone else watched the newest Casey Anthony doc yet?

I was clicking on this thread to say I just started watching!

I watched the new Casey Anthony doc and I’m thoroughly disgusted.

Ohh now im more intrigued!

This will sound weird. I've recently been bingeing on people who have been killed by bears. It's not like I went looking for it. One day a video showed up in YT about a death by grizzly. One of my thoughts is why are people so stupid to go out in the wild without a gun and alone. Why do people think a grizzly can't go through an RV? Maybe it goes by to the day decades ago when I was driving through Sam Houston National Forest when I saw a bear.

 Finding Vivian Mairer. Tracing the photographer, a nanny, who took 100,000+ photographs in the 40's and 50's, mostly Chicago. Prime​

Sensationalists: The Bad Girls and Boys of British Art. About the NBAs who shocked the art world in the 90's. Definitely one of my favourite documentaries ever. BBC.

I actually came here to post exactly the same thing!

I’ve just finished Traumazone and it was was of the most incredible documentaries I’ve seen but was quite hard to watch at times.

Hypernormalisation is a slightly easier introduction to Curtis’s work.

For those "science" oriented...consider, "Good Night Oppy"

 

[shybutobscene]

All documentaries appear as they are just exploring a subject and along the way facts are discovered and presented to the viewer. However, every documentary starts with the idea of what the documentary will prove and then facts are presented. So pretty much all documentaries are biased before they are even made.

Agree. Good Night Oppy is an amazing story.
