Phil Silvers Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 The man who bought cricket. Three parts to this enlightening doc, the scale of what this scumbag did was unreal. This was really well done, not dragged out, plenty key players involved, a good watch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would've been improved had more of the team been involved rather than just Broad & Wright. You could tell Broad wished he'd never been involved. I'd totally forgotten the moment where Stanford had the WAGs on his knee mid-game. Absolutely incredible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely incredible Agree, there are probably quite a few that are embarrassed, regretful and just want to forget the whole thing ever happened. I'd recommend this to all, you do not have to be a cricket fan to watch this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind actually, I'm not a cricket fan as such and can only remember the furore surrounding the 20/20 match. Knew nothing about the Stanford case. Will have a google at it when got time. Cheers pal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted January 12, 2022 Moderator Share Posted January 12, 2022 Lacks the pizazz of The Big Short, but not the power. Currently on YouTube in full - Inside Job - well worth a watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 What a watch that "Wild Wild Country" was. I did feel somewhat sympathetic towards the Rajneeshees. It seemed like just another victory for bigoted America, to me. Some really fascinating characters though. I even had a soft spot for Sheela , as mad as she was, you couldn't fault her desire and determination when it came to defending the Bhagwan. I got the sense that her and the Aussie woman were having some kind of scissor sister relationship, or is that just my dirty mind ? The lawyer guy, Niren, came across as a really decent human being which made me question the whole "cult" thing. Everything he said was on point and his devotion towards Bhagwan was touching and sincere. The really evil character was the Attorney, Robert Weaver. If there was a league for anal - retentives, he would be Man City. What a vile man. I thought it rather poetic that his career ended up involved in scandal. It came down to a few powerful people having friends in high places. Bill Bowerman, being one of them. A great documentary to watch, certainly one of the best on Netflix. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Finally got round to watching "Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road". Wasn't expecting much as there's not much more for me to know, but it's really well made and very emotional in parts. But Brian...haha he does come out with some stuff, whether he forgets or is just playing games is anyone's guess. "I've never heard Pacific Ocean Blue apart from one track" he says. Gotta be having us on. Anyway, it's a decent watch even if you're not a hardcore fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentVillan Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 The Puppet Master on Netflix has completely floored me. It's really well made and an incredible story about a conman who tells people he works for MI5... a fantastic little 3-part docuseries that is exactly the right length for the story it needs to tell. But you'll be raging by the end of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 24, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 24, 2022 "The Alpinist" is available on demand on Sky at the moment. Documentary about a free climbing alpinist. For anyone who saw Free Solo it's a very similar concept. In fact Alex Honnold features in this one too It's amazing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
