Cooked with Michael Pollan is good if you're a foodie.
Salem. Creepy witch show. Excellent acting. I'm hooked.
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!
Finished up the first season of "Flaked" last night. Definitely worth watching if you're a Will Arnett fan and great acting all around.
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.
Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.
Watched "Runnin' Down a Dream" last night, a four-hour documentary on Tom Petty. I know, four hours... but it's worth it, even for casual fans. The guy has talent, and apparently balls of steel.
I can understand that criticism and agree somewhat. I like that we're in a genre bending/blending age right now though. Also, you can only do so much in eight 30-minute episodes. The setup is there for a solid second season, it'll be interesting to see where it goes.
Hah, me too. Arco arena, think I was 13 at the time so it would have been '96. Not really sure what my parents were thinking in retrospect.

If you're a dog lover, watch "The Champions". Documentary about the dogs seized in the raid on Michael Vick's property. It's about the dogs and their rehab and adoption, it's not about Vick.

Recently watched a movie called The Divine Move. Never thought a movie about a board game would be so violent. Makes poker look like Monday evening Bingo at the local church.
