It's the one that stands out in my mind after all these years. particularly the scene he's walking down the street and the Croatian guy on the street does a double take and says to the camera "is that fucking Divac?" in Yugoslavian with a WTF look on his face says it all. Yep. That was “Once Brothers” that I mentioned. It was excellent.
April 24, 20232 yr June 17, 1994 is amazingThis is the one I vote for. Only documentary I’ve ever seen with no interviews and no narration. Just a video montage. Then the Talking Heads at the end was perfect.
May 8, 20232 yr Pony Excess was my favorite, but the best one was the Duke Lacrosse fiasco where justice prevailed. Mike Nifong tried his very best to play politics to stay in power and gain popularity, all the while not giving one care about the lives he was about to crush because of lies.

Always shake my head at the BS actions of this video clip. Typical CS Barney Fife goes after the SMU cheerleader and NOT the guy trying to impale another with the sword.

Nifong - Disbarred, bankrupt and spent one day in jail. To this day, he has not (to my knowledge) had the shit kicked out of him. Which is a crying shame.

May 22, 20232 yr Quote “ESPN will debut the next installment in the Peabody and Emmy award-winning 30 for 30 series, “The American Gladiators Documentary,” a two-part film directed by Ben Berman (“The Amazing Johnathan Documentary”), Tuesday, May 30, at 8:30p.m. ET and Wednesday, May 31, at 9p.m. ET. The film takes an unconventional approach to the epic tale of the famed reality-competition show. What begins as a traditional sports documentary soon gives way to bigger themes of greed, divergent narratives, and ultimately questions how history itself is written. The film, also executive produced by VICE Studios, will be made available on ESPN+ immediately after its premiere, along with the rest of the 30 for 30 library. https://espnpressroom.com/us/press-releases/2023/04/espn-films-latest-30-for-30-the-american-gladiators-documentary-about-reality-competition-series-premieres-may-30-31/ @DeepEastTexas

I noticed the co-director wat Kirk Johnson. Any idea if this was our Kirk Johnson, I know he was into the entertainment side of things.
June 1, 20232 yr ^ Doesn't appear so. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2267899/?ref_=ttfc_fc_dr2 Plan on catching at least the first half later tonight.
June 2, 20232 yr This shit sucks, don’t fucking bother. 3 hours of fucking bullshit about who can pat the most on the back, fucking stupid. I apologize for fucking bumping it, it was shitty.
June 2, 20232 yr I loved Ep 1, then Ep 2 took me down Dann Carr Road that I didn’t need to travel (and where Berman lost his way). All the energy captured by clips from the original broadcasts was sucked out in the last two hours, and the pathos of broken men and women were captured well enough in the first installment. I don’t like leaving things incomplete, but I suspect I would have had a much more fulfilling experience by watching the first one and stopping there.

Like (if they already did them so forgive me) the plane crash in the andes and the Uruguay rugby team. Or hooligans in Europe. A Lawrence Phillips one would be interesting (Just looked up Running For His Life which I wasn't aware of.

That whole campus and the National Media turned on all of those guys. I remember when it happened but had no idea what all had happened. Fascinating.
December 13, 20241 yr ‘New York Sack Exchange’ about Gastineau & his DL boys premieres tonight at 7 on ESPN.

December 13, 20241 yr Yeah, they should have let the 3 guys who were actually special needs keep their medals. You can tell it really messed him up when he had to give it back and his life took a turn for the worse.
December 13, 20241 yr Pony Excess 2 Escobars The Best That Never Was Duke LaCrosse episode was good. Ben Johnson and his Olympic tribulations good also.
