I'm a big John Candy fan, looking forward to this on the 10th Oct:

John Candy: I Like Me - Official Trailer (2025) Documentary

 

[FiestaST]

Drops on the ‘Flix on the 10th September, will be giving it a flutter.

Done & dusted, it was worth the wait.

A 2-parter around 1.5hrs a pop.

Super insightful, it also really gets into the details. Stacks of unexpected guests sharing their takes/stories.

Almost 4 hours but I rather sat through this than Kevin Costners Horizon or Titanic.

9/10 from me.

Aka Charlie Sheen was pretty good but it felt like there could have been about 2 more episodes.

I never really followed the story, but now that I've seen the doc ... damn that is wild

It's insane how good he looks and talks for someone who basically lived off drugs and booze.

And yet Denise Richards looks so farked up! Crazy

Same here, I knew bits and pieces, watched all 3 episodes back to back.

I still want to know why she continued to stay with him and assisted him, I do understand that he threatened her and that she might have continued to be with him due to extreme fear, but WOWSERS what a story.

 

[FiestaST]

Yup, likely a good watch:

Done & dusted. A true delight.

I've always thought this dude came across incredibly grounded & a genuine guy and this detailed doccie just reinforces this point.

The list of appearances sharing their anecdotes is mighty impressive. Tons of archive material.

43 Years old & gone, a big loss.

Recommended.

Some nice visuals here although it must be said that the main character in the doc does not have much respect from within the marine biology/scientific community and some feel she is doing more harm to sharks than good.

Watched last night, really enjoyed it. 9/10 from me

Did Hitler really have a ‘micropenis’? The dubious documentary analysing the dictator’s DNA

Was the wartime chant about his solitary testicle correct? Did he have Jewish ancestry? New documentary Hitler’s DNA is trying to answer these, and more contentious, questions – but should it have gone there at all?
