Under the Docs

This episode of "Under the Docks" dives deep into Netflix's "Operation Flagrant Foul," revealing how easy it was for NBA referees to manipulate games and how the league protected itself when the scandal broke. The hosts explore the uncomfortable truth about sports entertainment versus genuine competition, examining how one referee's gambling scheme uncovered a much larger system of game manipulation that the NBA desperately tried to cover up.

Hoop Dreams is a raw, three-hour examination of what it actually takes to make it to professional basketball, following William Gates and Arthur Agee from age 14 through college as they navigate scouts, private schools, injuries, and family pressures. This isn't a glamorous sports story - it's an unflinching look at how the basketball pipeline works and why 99% of hopefuls never make it to the NBA. The hosts break down the brutal honesty of this highly-rated documentary and discuss whether its legendary status holds up today.

Cave of Forgotten Dreams explores the Chauvet Cave, discovered in 1994 and sealed off from humanity for 30,000 years, containing some of the world's oldest and most advanced cave paintings. Through Herzog's masterful documentary filmmaking, we witness art that challenges everything we thought we knew about prehistoric humans - featuring sophisticated perspective, motion, shading, and spiritual imagery that rivals modern techniques. This isn't just a documentary about old cave paintings; it's a profound examination of human consciousness, artistic expression, and what it means to be truly "civilized."

Join the Under the Docks crew as they dive deep into Werner Herzog's 2016 masterpiece "Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World" - a 90-minute journey through everything from DARPA's role in creating the internet to robots taking over the world to Elon Musk's vision for Mars. This isn't just another tech documentary; it's Herzog's uniquely human perspective on how the internet and technology have fundamentally changed our world, exploring both the incredible benefits and dark consequences of our hyper-connected age. From the first internet message that crashed after just two letters to AI that might start wars for profit, this film packs an incredible amount of insight into technology's past, present, and future.

Perhaps the greatest Werner Herzog documentary of all time, about Timothy Treadwell, the "Grizzly Man"

Don't make us say it again. A documentary about James Baldwin.

We explore the conversations sparked by Daryl Davis's journey of befriending members of the Ku Klux Klan, and what his story reveals about race, tolerance, and the potential for change in America.

Room 237 is the perfect introduction to the concept of synchromysticism, especially within the world of Stanley Kubrick movies. In this episode of Under the Docs, we discuss each theory in detail along with our general impressions of the documentary itself.

Come hang with us and talk about one of our favorite topics of all time, MK-ULTRA.
At the end of the Second World War the United States government (under Operation Paperclip) extracted scientists from Germany. Very quickly top secret scientific testing started to happen all across America. Project MK ULTRA was formed by the CIA. The US government proceeded to experiment on innocent citizens on a massive scale that spanned decades.
