Then in the 80s when they're 19 they get reunited and the crazy path it takes them on. Highly recommend it and I'd say it's one of those that will be a lot more interesting if you don't read anything about it prior to watching like I did. It's co-made with Channel 4 so I wouldn't be surprised if they air in at some point this year. This is on Channel 4 on Thursday at 9pm. I highly recommend it if you can. Quote
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted March 1, 2019 Paid Members Posted March 1, 2019 Bus 174 - Covers the 2000 hold-up of a bus in Rio and it's one of the very best documentaries you could wish to see. Covers the background of Sandro do Nascimento in incredible depth and shows how horribly deprived the poorest in Brazil really are. It's knocking around on DailyMotion if you want to see it, and you definitely should. Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 2, 2019 Author Paid Members Posted March 2, 2019 That always used to pop up on 'best documentary' lists around 10 years ago but i never got around to seeing it. Cheers for the reminder. Quote
AdamTH17 Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 Beyond the Curve was really good. A much broader watch than I thought it would be, offering up a good mixture of the individuals involved on both sides, as well as the reasoning and justification for people choosing to believe such a trend. Thought it was hilarious how the director kept taking little shots at flat earthers, especially when They have the guy talk about the "misleading" connotation of a flat earther being someone who lives at home in his parents basement, before instantly cutting to the next guy who lives at home with his mum. The ending as well was fucking golden - disproving their theory completely but demonstrating once more how somebody can cling onto something despite all the evidence points in other directions. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted May 15, 2019 Members Posted May 15, 2019 Louis Theroux: Mother’s On The Edge is utterly heartbreaking. I really struggled to watch this one, probably the most uncomfortable I’ve seen of his since the eating disorder one. But a subject that absolutely should have more exposure. Quote
Keith Houchen Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Something that will probably only appeal to @Merzbow, I saw this on BBC4 the other night, Tones Drones and Arpeggios. The Magic Of Minimalism. It was fascinating. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b09tbh10/tones-drones-and-arpeggios-the-magic-of-minimalism-series-1-1-california Quote
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted June 19, 2019 Paid Members Posted June 19, 2019 Holy shit does anyone remember the Amazing Jonathan? I used to love him when I was a kid but haven't thought about him for ages, can't wait to see this. Quote
dopper Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 I remember him appearing on late-night programmes in the early 90's, some of those Clive James shows maybe? At one of William Regal's "An Evening With..." shows a few years ago he was supported by a magician/illusionist called Mat Ricardo, and he did a trick where he appeared to slice through his forearm with a big knife - that was the thing that immediately reminded me of The Amazing Jonathan.

He was definitely on The Jack Dee Show, not sure about Clive James. I think he also did The Secret Cabaret, but he was on TV quite a lot back then. Quote
Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted June 23, 2019 Awards Moderator Posted June 23, 2019 There’s a Kate Nash documentary on the BBC iPlayer and now I’m alright with them shafting the pensioners over the licence fee. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p07ctstz/kate-nash-underestimate-the-girl Quote

Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted July 15, 2019 Paid Members Posted July 15, 2019 I watched that earlier and I was in tears by the end. Especially when he breaks the news to the girl of her sister getting engaged. Proper sad/enraging stuff. Quote
