The Kings, a documentary about boxing in the 70s and 80s but mostly about Sugar Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns, Marvin Hagler and Roberto Duran, is worth checking out if you have Showtime.

Re: Doc: The Umentary Type
I watched The Insurrectionist Next Door last night on Max, which was made by Nancy Pelosi's daughter. It was interesting to get insight into a handful of people convicted for participating in 1/6. You can't draw too much out of the film, as she only showed interviews with a few people and who know what she cut out or the 1000s of people she didn't interview. But it made you understand who these people are and why they committed their crimes. Mostly they were sad, broken people looking to belong. They were all uneducated and mostly pretty dumb. I laughed out loud during one interview, when she asked the guy why he was there, he immediately said, "I've never been smart." The guy said he voted for Biden, doesn't believe the election was stolen and doesn't like Trump, but his sister asked him to go on a trip with her. I actually believe him. Pelosi caught the sister in numerous lies when she denied being involved with the Proud Boys, and tried to get the brother to realize the sister was lying to him. Anyways, it was interesting. I was a little annoyed how much she made it about "why do you want to kill my mother?" I saw a previous documentary she made, and again, she inserted herself and her relationship with her mother into too many interviews with attendees at Trump rallies.

A few come to mind that I think haven't been mentioned yet.
Hail Satan?- The Satanic Temple strikes back (against theocratic dildos of every stripe)!
Seed: The Untold Story- About the loss of 95% of our seed biodiversity.
In the Court of the Crimson King- Starring Robert Fripp as Scrooge.
Two others from ages ago whose names escape me; One was about..... tickling. Something something Long Island stalker, if memory serves.
The other was about Bears, a part of gay subculture I knew nothing about, but was absolutely charmed by. YMMV, naturally.

After looking up the documentary's IMDB, I was pretty entertained reading some of the reviews.

If every RB ever had the same offensive line, is Sanders not the best ever? I thought that was accepted as near fact?

Re: Doc: The Umentary Type
I’d sign off on that. When he got an offense that wasn’t the run-and-shoot and installed a TE and blocking concepts, he ripped off 2,000 yards in the final 14 games of the 1997 season.

Jim Brown was the best ever. Period.

Re: Doc: The Umentary Type
I never saw Jim Brown play but my eyes tell me that Barry is the unquestioned best I've ever seen. Whose career was completely wasted. Period inserted retroactively out of respect
Re: Doc: The Umentary Type
Sanders was awesome, but I'll go with Jim Brown, just because he not only constantly led the league in rushing, but he usually led by hundreds of yards.
And on the subject of running backs - I have been watching football for over 50 years, and I have still never seen anyon like Earl Campbell. Like Sanders, he was unique.

Apropos of nothing. Barry Sanders pro career almost completely overlapped with the series Seinfeld. (He made his debut two months after S1E1 and retired two months after the finale.)

man, i don't know shit about football post ~1994 but i do know that Thurman Thomas kept Barry Sanders on the bench in college so applying all advanced algebra courses i've taken in my life direct me to the answer that #34 is mathematically the greatest-ever.

LOL fair. i feel like i remember one monday night game when i was in college (1990?) when Thurm had nearly 200yrds against the Jets before halftime and i was thinking he'd crush the alltime record for a game. Marv sat him and played Kenneth Davis almost the entire 2nd half.

Re: Doc: The Umentary Type
Apropos of absolutely nothing, Thurman Thomas was my first ever fantasy football pick in 1991. I’m pretty sure it went Cunningham, Rice, Sanders, then Thomas. So early ‘90s South Jersey fantasy football players agree that Barry was the best RB ever.

Re: Doc: The Umentary Type
Just finished the Barry doc. 1.) Love the choice they made for the credits at the end 2.) Not sure if it is the big shoulder pads but he just runs differently and I wonder how much of that was key to his success (watch his shoulders). 3.) I get you need to include locals but the Detroit celebs they gave time to....not sure they really added anything. 4.) Barry's dad was great and Barry's sons knowing their grandfather perspective was a nice add.

I'm giddy for this one:
Brat Pack doc, produced by Andrew McCarthy, which means he was able to interview just about all of them. For those that may not remember, sometime in the mid-80s, New York Magazine put out a cover story featuring Lowe, Ringwald, Sheedy, Nelson, Estevez, McCarthy, Moore, etc and labeled them The Brat Pack. Most (all?) of those mentioned HATED that label and how it affected their careers.
Airing on Hulu in mid-June... Can't. Wait.
(Part of what's got me so amped is listening to the Rewatchables podcast where a bunch of this eras movies are being highlighted.)
