Not sure if it has been mentioned but I'm watching Black Bird on AppleTV. Great show but I wish all the episodes were released at once.

Watched 13 Lives. The story about the youth soccer team that was trapped in a cave in Thailand after water flooded it. Pretty amazing. Vigo Mortenson and Colin Farrel star. This type of rescue had never been done before.

Since they were afraid the kids would panic underwater, they administrated anesthesia to put them to sleep to take them out. Because of the length of time it took to get back to the entrance of the cave, they had to administer a second dose along the way.

The Beatles documentary Get Back on Disney Plus is absolutely outstanding. I have an hour left of the third and final episode.

You're literally watching them write the Let It Be album.

Also, Billy Preston is the GOAT.

Yeah, I watched that a few months ago and it is indeed an amazing documentary, just watching them write that album in real time. I laughed at George struggling to make progress on Something and hoping that eventually it turns into a useable song for the next album. I've always thought BP was incredible. While watching it, I kept thinking that this must be tough on McCartney to watch as it is so intimate and real. There's John and Linda up close and personal, like old home movies.

Netflix documentary about Woodstock 99 called Trainwreck.

The 90s were quite a time to be alive. I like this version better than the HBO Max doc about Woodstock 99. Neftlix touches on a few key points that HBO didn't and they focus more on interviewing staff than concert goers and performers.

Nothing captures the spirit of Woodstock like having a concert at a closed military base with a wall built around it. Peace, Love and $4 for bottled water.

I knew Fred Durst was an asshole, but he's an asshole on a totally new level for me after watching this.

Watched it last night. What a self induced powder keg. I’m remember watching it as it was going on and completely forgot James Brown opened.
Also, who’s idea was it to have an organized rave at the end of each night? What a shit show.

They wouldn't let people bring in food or water but let them bring in all the drugs they wanted. Super smart.

Around that time, I remember a lot more fights on campus and just really scary situations involving destruction of property. Girls I knew who were assaulted at parties and such. It was really bad. Drugs, steroids everywhere on campus even more so than my first two years. By the spring of 2000, I was a senior and I rarely went out anymore. I was exhausted from all the meatheaded nonsense. You couldn't go anywhere without two assholes starting a fight.

Notre Dame coaching debuts on YouTube. With the 2010 receivers and running backs, we win a National Championship in the last 5 years

Given Woodstock was in our heyday and I like a lot off Grunge and Alternative, the wife and I watched this to see the correlation. None outside of the name. Pretty interesting overall. IMO Lang was something of a douche the way he tried to separate himself from what was happening.

Agreed.

They booked a bunch of Nu Metal bands with Jewel, Sheryl Crow and Dave Matthews Band. It was a corporate shit show (literally) targeted toward white frat boys. So having a rave until 5 AM with Fatboy Slim and Moby with a bunch of drugged up Korn and Limp Bizkit fans wasn't a great idea. Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Oasis, etc. were so far in the rearview mirror by then. The 90s was such a segmented decade. It was like two sub decades, really.

It was ultimately the transition into the Century we are now in, which began with Bush-Gore and 9/11. Much of what was going on then helps explain a lot of what he see now, sadly.

I did enjoy the guy with the mullet. He still hasn’t mentally left Woodstock.

How to call someone a Boomer without calling them a Boomer?
You read my mind. LOL

Seriously, though, I'm happy to have kids young enough to be watching Bluey. It's awesome. Bandit quite literally inspires me to step up my game.

Just remember that before you know it, you'll be having this same experience only you'll be in my seat while I'm laughing from my grave. :devil_2:

Now you two get off my lawn!

P.S. Werther's? Never touched them. They were for my parents. :gbanana:

Amy Winehouse documentary on HBO is fantastic. Incredibly sad.

First time I heard her voice my brain said "black lady in her 50s." She was a white English girl in her 20s.

I finally got around to watching Justified and am about to finish S3. I love this show and it's so much better than I expected. Olyphant is great and Natalie Zea is seriously good looking. Walton Coggins just wears the Boyd Crowder role out.

I can’t tell you how freakin cool Monster Vision with Joe Bob Briggs was to pre-teen/teenage ACamp back in the day,……

I’ve been watching The Last Drive In on Shudder,… even just to listen to Joe Bob’s monologues it’s awesome. I’m watching Night of the Living Dead now, which is one of my favorite films ever anywhere… WITH Joe Bob!?! Money.

I was always partial to the Night of the Living Dead remake they did, even though I know it's not near as good as the original. I think it was because a teenage me like Patricia Tallman, but it also has Candyman in it.
