Marty, Life Is Short

Martin Short documentary directed by Lawrence Kasdan

Just watched and it is just delightful to watch if you are fans of Martin Short personality and comedy.  What you see on camera is him the entire time whether with his friends or family or his wife who is very much like him. It is adorable.  He is definitely the life of the party and man between his SCTV days parties and Christmas party and others these are filled with the top tier of stars.

Fukushima: A Nuclear Nightmare

This is totally mesmerizing as is The Yogurt Shop Murders. HBO still delivers quality documentaries. S2 of YSM should drop really soon.

The new season of Hollywood Demons on ID Channel is both fascinating and infuriating.

If you wish to preserve the illusionary purity of your childhood. Do NOT~! watched the Saved by the Bell episode or the Power Rangers episode.

The Siege of Paradise

[zendragon]

As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, the new five-part documentary series The American Experiment reexamines the improbable achievement that was the nation’s founding, and the radical question at the center of the revolution: Can a people govern themselves? Featuring an extraordinary range of voices including former vice presidents and cabinet officials, current and former members of Congress, a former Supreme Court justice, leading historians, tribal chiefs, military experts, and thought leaders across the political spectrum, the series presents uniquely bipartisan, wide-ranging, and deeply informed conversations about the origins and future of American democracy. Tracking the years leading up to the Revolution through the drafting of the Constitution and the first American presidency, The American Experiment explores how a nation built on an untested idea has continued to wrestle with the foundational contradictions of slavery, liberty, individual power, and minority representation — and how American democracy has been built, challenged, and reimagined over the course of two and a half centuries. Cinematic in scope and urgently relevant, The American Experiment reveals how the debates that defined the country’s founding era still shape the United States, posing a pivotal question at a moment of profound division: Can this extraordinary experiment endure?

TLDR America The Last Season!

watched "John Candy: I Like Me" only 9 months after it was released and it was an interesting story and a good documentary too. I really didn't know some of the things they mentioned.
