Latest season of Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown now up.
Cooked with Michael Pollan is good if you're a foodie.
29th April
Salem. Creepy witch show. Excellent acting. I'm hooked.
A drummers dream... great music documentary
Just came up on Netflix..
We are Twisted Fucking Sister! Not a fan but pretty good documentary about the band and the music scene outside of NYC in the Tri State area in the 70s. Dee Snider and JJ are pretty interesting guys. These guys were selling out 3000-5000 seat rooms in the area before they ever cut a record or had a deal.
Valley Uprising, docu about Yosemite climbing, just got picked up on Netflix.
Also, Into The Wild, the Sean Penn film that's very much worthy of the Krakauer book, is streaming now.
You guys have some good recs! Barkley Marathons and Valley Uprising were awesome!
Agreed. What a cool documentary. Watched it last week.Quote:

This finally made it onto my Netflix list

Book it's based on is superb.
I watched the whole thing, and kind of agree. I finished the season feeling unfulfilled, though. I realized why when I discovered the term Traumady. The author made a good point, saying they make for lazy writing. They're not really funny, but don't have a lot of drama, so they're just not that compelling and expectations aren't as high. I like the characters, I like the setting, I just don't see it keeping me engaged. I'll watch the second season, but mostly because I like Arnett. I will also continue watching Bojack Horseman, which is basically the same show in cartoon form.Quote:

Did not know that was on Netflix. Thank you. I will definitely check it out. My dad is a huge fan and Tom Petty was the first classic rock he got me into. It was actually my first concert too. 2002 at the Gorge at GeorgeQuote:

I'm enjoying this, interesting stuff.Quote:
