I am getting messages that I need a membership to something from WETA which is our local station. Wondering if it was it was DC or everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Since I too am WETA I can't answer for everyone else but I am pretty sure what they are doing is - you have to have the PBS membership to have early access to the episodes. Otherwise you have to wait till they air regularly, then they will be available online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Mr. Dynamite: The Rise of James Brown is on AXS right now and it's fascinating. He was a hard, hard man to work with and he was quite a dick (even a friend of Nixon) but he was formed by the pain of his upbringing. It doesn't paint a great picture of him but it's fair. You also get to see the birth of funk so there's that Good lord one of the members is talking about having to pull a fucking gun on him. And now they're talking about him being a domestic abuser which I forgot about and yeah... fuck him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 No - what will piss you off is the new documentary about Andrew Wakefield (the creator of the Anti-Vax movement) which basically tries to give Wakefield a redemption story.

Mister TV Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Showtime is playing Tough Guys which is about an early form of MMA based in Pittsburgh during the late 70's/early 80's and it's amazing. All of the Pittsburgh guys who started it and competed in it are great interviews(I'm a little biased since I grew up there) and it's a shame how things ended up since they were years ahead of their time. It also shows what an utter scumbag "Tough Man Contest" promoter Art Dore was/is along with the Pennsylvania Athletic Commission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Dore is from Bay City, MI, where my wife (and the Steiners) is from. Dore is well known there for being a scumbag. But I totally need to see that series. I've seen clips of that stuff and it looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 The Godfathers of Hardcore (dir. Ian McFarland) This should be interesting. Incidentally, I saw them with Municipal Waste about a decade ago. There were two massive brawls involving the same people (including a bunch of women) that Roger had to speak out about. I was standing on a side balcony and watched both like it was on TV. After, literally the entire county police department descended on the venue like a pack of vultures as everyone was leaving. We got lucky because there was a bowl sitting in plain sight in the ride we took but after chilling in the parking lot for about a half hour they opened up the roads and we got out with no harassment. One of the more memorable experiences I've had at a show haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Rolling Stone - Stories from the Edge (dir. Alex Gibney) Since the free HBO is on I managed to catch most of this. Surprisingly, it's not completely self-congratulatory -- they air the interview where Hunter basically says Jann sold out. Hunter is voiced by Johnny Depp, of course. There are some stories I haven't heard and they give a good chunk of time to Ice-T who actually gets to talk about the formation of Body Count (!). Wenner comes off as I expected him, kind of a curmudgeon/idealist who doesn't have an interest in currently popular music. Some really interesting stuff about Clinton and the rise of Immortan Joe. It's worth trying to catch the full four hours. Beware though -- the Lennon and Yoko stuff will wreck you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Baltimore Rising (dir. Sonja Sohn) Also caught this last night. I encourage you not to watch if you have an issue with your blood pressure or violently flinging things at your television set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Sorrow Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I just watched "Gilbert", and it's outstanding. I can't recall a film that made me cry my eyes out then had me laughing so hard that I was technically still crying. Wonderful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Same here. Never was a fan of his comedy, but his life story is beyond crazy and that's before he was coked up 24/7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 It's good to see Kelly Coffield again btw, she seemed to vanish after In Living Color (at least to me, I never watched Jerry Maguire or Scary Movie). I had no idea she married Steve Park either. Speaking of which, In Living Color deserves its own doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember her in anything else afterwards. I didn't know Ali Wentworth married George Stephanopoulos. That's a comeup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
