The Shoutbox
Correct. That kinda thing could actually work/add something to what's already there (there's some really funny stuff in the Evil Dead musical, for example). A movie doesn't, if anything I think it would be less interesting than the documentary. The exception, of course, is when enough time passes that people kinda forget and can be reintroduced to it through a movie, but geez, at least wait a year or two for that.

It's such a weird situation because it seems transient enough that they need to "strike while the iron is hot," even though the iron's lukewarm.

No, I believe that is just Yoda suggesting a way in which an adaptation of Tiger King could be more interesting than simply turning it into a straightforward dramatisation (though no less ill-advised).

Yeah this has "the Internet makes Snakes on a Plane do a quick rewrite" coming off it.

The economics of Netflix shows and movies are wildly different, the former probably gets a lot more mileage out of this stuff. And that's when it's relatively easy and uncomplicated to go to a theater.

Now, a musical, that could work.

I did, but I didn't mention it because Tiger King a) sucks, b) hasn't been a thing for months, and c) doesn't need a Hollywood dramatisation.
That took a weight off my shoulders, as I never got around to it...
Yeah, you're better off at this rate. I have to wonder if it would've been as big a deal if it hadn't been released during those first few months of quarantine and people were extra desperate to watch anything distracting on Netflix.

And any vehicle featuring Kate McKinnon and Nic Cage is needed.
Since when have I ever reviewed TV shows?

I think Cage's talents are better utilised elsewhere, especially when casting him to play Joe Exotic just sounds like a lazy executive picking the first wacky actor to come to mind and calling it a day. Kate McKinnon will definitely help the production to feel like a feature-length SNL skit.
Hi all!

Hey there, shout-outers. Why don’t you treat yourself to a notebook of graph paper? Start plotting something.
Skip to 2:20 if you wanna hear a little rubber squeal.
And here's a MP3 if you're on a slower connection.
