Little bit different episode. John recommends the documentary-like Netflix series, Abstract, which features different designers in various industries. His favorite is Tinker Hatfield, shoe designer. Keith recommends a couple documentary podcasts like Stranglers covering The Boston Strangler and the popular Missing Richard Simmons, following one man’s quest to find the fitness guru.

Keith and John watch Jason Wise’s follow-up, Somm: Into the Bottle discussing the history of wine and wine-making. Then they go in a completely different direction with Michael Beach Nichols and Christopher K Walker’s film, Welcome to Leith, which explores a small town almost taken over by white supremacists.

Keith and John cover TV Sitcom History with Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady’s Norman Lear: Another Version of You. Then they crawl into the uncomfortable and squeamish world of Morgan Spurlock’s Rats. Also, the greatness of the show, The West Wing, is discussed.

Keith and John learn about Anonymous, and mention the show Mr. Robot, after watching Brian Knappenberger’s We Are Legion. Followed by yet another true crime Netflix documentary, Rod Blackhurst and Brian McGinn’s Amanda Knox covering the many trials of Amanda Knox in Italy. Also, Keith remembers his freshman roommate, Rich.

An update on what’s been going on and what to expect from the show in January 2017. See you all next year! (Yes, it’s a dad joke, but whatever.)

The only link this episode is that they rhyme. John and Keith start off with Ryan McGarry’s film, Code Black, which looks at the state of the ER and the US healthcare system. Then, they look at Crystal Moselle’s doc, The Wolfpack, that takes a look at a group of brothers who’ve spent most of their lives in a small NYC apartment and recreate their favorite movies.
