Documentaries

Never Sleep Again is the Elm Street one, Leviathan is the Hellraiser one - I think, it's been a few years since I watched either. Both well worth a watch and each is a good length, too.

Same team also made the Doc Of Chucky which is just as good.
Four hour horror documentaries is pretty much it's own genre these days!

Just watched Never Sleep Again over the last two evenings and yeah, it was just as enjoyable as the Friday 13th one. It's a very fun experience to relive the legacy and remember just how much Freddy Krueger infiltrated pop culture. The first film is definitely the best, though the third is probably the most fun and the most 80s. The perfect distillation of what a fun Nightmare film is.

Also, what was up with that clampet who appeared to be interviewed in full Mudvayne style makeup and with some random woman beside her who sat mute the whole time, and beneath her like a sub. I loved how that was a thing that was neither approached nor questioned. It just was what it was, deal with it.

6hr doc on the history of Friday 13th. Goes through it all one film at a time with interviews with the people involved in each one. It's a really entertaining watch and you could easily breeze through the whole 6 hours in an afternoon. I absolutely love every 80s one. Even the Manhattan one!

Same, love the 80s ones. Pure cheese  I didnt know there was a documentary, I'll definitely check this out. And the the Never Sleep Again one. Nice one

Watched a pleasant one on Disney+ there, Billy & Molly: An Otter Love Story. Essentially a lad going through a tough time adopts an orphaned otter and he and his wife have a mutually beneficial relationship with it for a while. Grand way to spend a Sunday evening.

Saw Beat the lotto on Netflix there about the lads trying to get one over the system by buying up all (or trying to) the 6 number combinations.
Almost has the makings of a movie. They did get the winning ticket but since there was multiple winners they only got a share and the evil lottery boss smirking with glee on the telly.
They did see it as a win and the documentary kinda glosses over the fact that with the 5 number and 4 number prizes they ended up with a 30 percent profit.

Director Ben Wheatley (Kill List/A Field In England etc) has been compiling a playlist of old episodes of the BBC's Arena. 293 episodes so far and he's adding more as he goes.

Nice, some great stuff on that show over the years.

Hype! - about the Seattle scene. Has some cool footage and live performances from the era. Especially interesting the scenes featuring some of the lesser known bands from the Seattle scene like Gas Huffer, The Fastbacks, and Hammerbox etc, as well as the usual suspects. I already knew the story about the fake lingo they used to wind up the journalists, but it was cool to see Megan Jasper interviewed about it directly. Harsh realm, man.

[Yung Led Zeppelin]

Love that one. Fastbacks were great.

I watched that DEVO documentary that's up on Netflix at the moment, enjoyed it, interesting lads

Been looking forward to that Devo one but just keep not getting around to it.

Watched the Tad one recommended in another thread. Really enjoyable, and sad for them that they just never seemed to get that little bit of luck that they needed at various points. Would have been amazing to see that Tad/Nirvana UK tour.

And speaking of which, on the iPlayer is a doc called When Nirvana Came to Britain. It's also excellent and features the same tour from the Nirvana perspective, plus a bit of a retrospective on them in general. Features all their British TV appearances, plus Reading etc. Really good companion piece to the Tad doc.
