Being Evel - Netflix doc

[SpursforSix]

Saw this based on a recommendation.

Very entertaining and informative doc about Evel Knievel.

I never really knew anything about him other than the stunts. Had no idea how iconic he was or the financial success he achieved.
Also incredibly savvy marketer for someone growing up the way he did.

Lots of interview of Johnny Knoxville who also produced (I think). Was good to hear him speak intelligently and reflectively on a topic rather
than see him act like an idiot. As a side note, he had a good interview on Howard Stern a while back

Nothing heavy like a crime doc or war doc. Just a really informative bio.

I thoroughly enjoyed it.

8.5/10

I concur.

I just watched Jim & Andy and not sure what to think of it. Certainly interesting and insightful as to Carrey. But I came away thinking that both of them were self indulgent assholes. Carrey seems to be in touch now. But it’s hard to tell how much he was trying to capture Kauffman vs how much he might have been fucking with everyone. I guess I need to watch the movie. What a couple of different dudes.

Maybe 7/10.
