This - I just have no words.

It’s the most entertaining thing I’ve seen on TV in literally YEARS.

Netflix’ “This Is The Zodiac Speaking” October 23, 2024.

Paul T. Goldman (prod. Jason Woliner).

Peacock’s very strange six-episode docu-comedy series hybrid blends true crime narrative adaptations with documentary and reality television filmmaking conventions for an uneasy but highly original take on a surreal life. 

What we’re watching is ostensibly the filming of the eponymous main character’s own life story starring the man himself while breaking the fourth wall with actors commenting on the project they are making with the actual producers and director commenting as themselves. It’s a strange meta-narrative that presents clear moral quandaries.

'Get Back': a few gems among the tedium

Over the weekend I watched the first installment of the three part, 486-minute Disney Plus docu-series "Get Back."

As the metaphor goes, no matter how much we like eating sausage, making it is not necessarily pretty.

The series features studio footage shot in 1969 for the 1970 movie "Let it Be." The album of the same name was the last one released by The Beatles.

The band was disintegrating at the time, which becomes obvious early on in "Get Back." The petty bickering and musical lethargy that dominate the first installment quickly become tedious.

And yet, some fascinating moments rise from the torpor - particularly the scene in which we see Paul McCartney create the song "Get Back" right before our eyes.

Can I stand another four hours of it? As much as I admire the genius of The Beatles, probably not.
