Documentary Recommendations, TV Recommendations, TV Thoughts

It’s difficult to write and discuss about topics that most people find uncomfortable such as drugging women to take advantage of them. It’s even harder when the person involved whether it be a singer, movie star, or athlete is involved that many people once admired. I first learned about Bill Cosby through his successful TV…

Malls haven’t become a trend of the past completely. They still exist. Someone always knew when Abercrombie & Fitch was close by from the gallon of cologne sprayed into the air. You could smell it a mile away. I’ve never walked this store back then and never would now. There are many sides of a…

For anyone who thinks Tony Hawk had an easy life, he did not in many ways. Although raised by parents who supported his skateboarding throughout his life, there were things absent that would have made him a more responsible adult.

Netflix Documentary Recommendation: Tinder Swindler (2022)

02/20/2022

Documentary Recommendations, Netflix Recommendations

This documentary is definitely one that should be watched by everyone. It not only a story of a conman and sociopath that preys on women but it’s also a story about getting just desserts from those you preyed upon. As the saying goes, the guy had it coming, and his name is Simon Leviev. He…

Netflix Documentary Recommendation: Attack of the Hollywood Clichés (2021)

10/07/2021

Documentary Recommendations, Netflix Recommendations

Not everyone likes Rob Lowe especially when he poked fun at Prince William’s receding hairline a while back. I don’t think he’s that great of an actor. I really don’t remember any outstanding roles he’s done. He’s really isn’t all that funny in terms of this documentary despite being the narrator. It’s like he’s trying…

Some people took that box of clothing and turned it into a million dollars and some people took that box of clothing and put it in the closet. -Mark Stidham- LuLaRoe is a classic example of a multi-level marketing skirting the edges of being a Pyramid scheme in that you have to keep recruiting people…

When I started watching these, I didn’t know what to expect. The Untold Deal with the Devil was the first one I watched.
