Checked out the 2018 documentary Free Solo which finally made its way to my local theater (and its faux IMAX screen). This is the documentary about the first guy to free climb (as in, with no ropes) the face of … Continue reading
Checked out the Netflix documentary about the failed Fyre festival that fizzled out spectacularly in 2017 (I think). There’s a matching, competitive Hulu documentary as well… but I don’t have Hulu so Netflix is it. I don’t travel in circles … Continue reading
