Victoria Beckham's about to release one. Charlie Sheen's got one. Even OnlyFans creator Bonnie Blue has got one. It seems every celebrity and public figure is getting their own documentary right now. What's behind this sudden surge? We discuss the rise of the celebrity documentary phenomenon and share our theory as to why they're more popular than ever.

Plus, what do you do at night? It sounds like such a simple question, but the responses in the Outlouders Facebook group have us completely fascinated. From the wholesome to the wonderfully weird, your evening routines are everything.

And, our weekly recommendations are here — some trashy things to watch and some smart things to read, because balance is everything.

PSST Outlouders... Jessie also drops some absolutely massive personal news that has the entire studio shook. You do not want to miss our big announcement.

Em recommends Gen V on Prime Video

Holly recommends What are the tiny things in life that I love? I've made a list  by Julia Baird
