I can�t stand true crime. I get the obsession, though. The whole genre just seems so campy and disrespectful.

Definitely watch a few episodes. I was hooked after one. It's like a funny train wreck that just keeps giving and giving.

Evil Dead musical's old, I never saw it, I just heard the soundtrack. Pretty funny/good.

Tiger King is genuinely good/entertaining, worth a look.

Iroquois 08-31-20

I have to wonder if that's usually the case with dramatic adaptations of documentaries - if the reality-based approach is enough to hook an audience that prefers fiction, how much does it really benefit from receiving a full dramatisation? The one upside is that it means boiling down a five-hour miniseries into a feature that would (ideally) keep it under two hours, but even then it's not that interesting as a narrative and trying to give each subject its due attention in a constricted timeframe would prove difficult. Again, it just keeps pointing to "maybe don't do this" and the fast turn-around on the adaptation (plus the fact that it doesn't seem to be the only one out there) suggests that people really are trying to capitalise on a meme more than anything else.

I didn't watch but maybe 1 episode, but I'd be down for the ridiculousness of a musical!

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.
