“Is it arrogant to make your own documentary, or is it just the new way to tell your story?” 🤔 That’s the question that kicks off this electrifying episode of The JB and Sandy Show, where hosts JB and Sandy dive deep into the wild world of entertainment, streaming trends, and redemption stories. This week, special guest Steven Presley from Thunder Pop TV joins the crew for a Friday packed with hot takes and hilarious banter. The conversation launches with the viral drama between Neil Patrick Harris and Abby Lee Miller, sparking a debate on photo etiquette: “What’s worse—being over-airbrushed or left off the airbrush list?” The hosts don’t hold back, with JB quipping, “It looked like somebody was holding up a plastic face of Neil Patrick Harris!” 😂 The episode then explores the booming trend of self-made documentaries, from Eddie Murphy’s intimate self-portrait to the upcoming Susan Powter story. JB wonders aloud, “Is your hesitation with it, JB, the arrogance of making your own documentary—the self-importance that you need to make it instead of being honored by someone wanting to make a documentary about you?” Tricia jumps in, sharing her love for the Eddie Murphy doc: “It’s the first time I feel like the curtain has been pulled back on Eddie Murphy… you see his kids and him telling these crazy stories.” 

🌟 Listeners get the inside scoop on the new Avatar movie, with Steven Presley asking, “Is this a flop or a hit?” The hosts debate whether the franchise is unstoppable or if audiences are finally feeling Avatar fatigue. Plus, the team reacts to Netflix quietly removing its phone-to-TV casting feature, sparking a lively discussion about streaming wars, subscription drama, and the cathartic joy of canceling services. “Just cancel them all and see what they cry about!” Sandy jokes. The episode wraps with a heartwarming look at a new Austin jail program pairing incarcerated veterans with shelter dogs, giving them a chance to learn animal training and build a future. JB and Sandy reflect on the power of second chances, sharing stories of inmates finding hope through quilting and painting: “Some of these guys were murderers… and it was incredible, them talking about how this helped calm their brains and helped them come outside of themselves to do something for someone else.” 🐶❤️
