I wonder if they will show the clip of him saying "I've got more than enough to eat at home".




The clip, for those who forgot.

Latest episode of the series: ...Balloon Boy, about that former "Wife Swap"-per thought to have sent his keed a-soaring into the wild blue yonder... 'cept the keed was still in the house, ignorant of everything:

I don't think I realized that "Trainwreck" was a series title.  I couldn't understand why they went with that in front of the 'poop cruise' documentary instead of some more obvious nautically-themed options.

The first "Trainwreck" was in 2022 about Woodstock '99. This year, it returned as a series, with the Travis Scott Astroworld festival, Rob Ford, the poop cruise, the cult of the American Apparel clothing company, a real life Project X, and in the next two weeks, Balloon Boy and "Storm Area 51."

Interestingly, even though the shows are only 50 minutes long each, Netflix considers them movies, as if the documentary committee of the Oscars will ever put them up for an award. (Anything longer than 45 minutes is considered a feature by the Academy.)

I also think it's interesting that this "series of movies" is being dropped by Netflix on a weekly basis. That's not something Netflix really does, even though they probably should with some series to gain cultural traction.

Thanks to that threshold, My Mom Jayne (our thread on it) qualifies for the documentary Oscar at an hour and 45...
