I watched the YouTube video “By the Way, Woody Allen Is Innocent” last night. At 2.5 hours, it’s a haul, but the writer/presenter (in my mind, anyway) blows the Farrow case to smithereens. There are some problems with the video (being so long, it’s gets a little distracted; he reads his text in

The Brooke Shields episode's absence really shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as the Chris Langham episode -- word is that the reason the Brooke Shields episode is entirely missing is because of a music rights issue with the song "We're Off to See the Wizard," and it's too difficult to

The warning on the Steve Martin episode knocked me on my heels a bit, but whatever. I like that they don’t put a warning on the Lynda Carter episode which features an opening number celebrating cannibalism set to a Beatles classic. Cannibalism = fine. Gonzo shouting “burrito” and the six other Spa

The long-awaited streaming debut of "The Muppet Show" occurred Friday on Disney+, but Disney has slapped content warnings on 18 episodes containing what they claim are racist or stereotypical views--this post from NBC's LX gives some examples: https://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/the-confedera

I agree with you Adam about the Guardian stories. The author, Hadley Freeman, weighed in last night on the HBO “doc” on Twitter, saying she had not seen it, but using the hype it generated to pump her stories. She is getting smacked around a bit on Twitter. https://twitter.com/hadleyfreeman/status

I'm curious to learn whether this series makes it over to the UK. Sky has a big deal with HBO which means most of their output ends up on Sky's channels - and indeed they launched a Sky Documentaries channel just a few months ago that would be perfect for it. And ordinarily Sky moves quickly to get

We are (somewhat oddly) kind of on the same page with this, so I will try to avoid just echoing back.
