a 30 for 30 thread

Sounds like Disney is breaking out the Moff Tarkin tech for this one

i watched it
the deepfakes were terrible
so bad. whoever did the pete rozelle voice sounded like Andy Richter.

It was uncanny valley hall of presidents crossed with Salvatore Leone from GTA Liberty City. Weird. Bad.
Those bits felt like I was watching, idk, a Doritos Superbowl commercial. Like “let’s waste a bunch of money to badly execute an empty gimmick”

i saw of miracles and men last night. it's probably the best documentary i've ever seen in my entire life. definitely a must-watch for all hockey fans.

i haven't seen a lot of 30 for 30 documentaries, so i don't know how it compares to the rest. but in terms of other, non-30 for 30 documentaries, it's better than russian five. i'll probably watch red army later.

i'm also excited to watch into the wind. it's a little trite to say as a canadian, but terry fox has been an inspiration to me my entire life.

“Once Upon A Time In Queens” four-parter about the 86 Mets is up now on ESPN

as an outsider it’s pretty great.
i dont have much of a frame of reference for the Mets except the stuff i’ve gleaned from Morbs, Jon Stewart & the Simpsons, & other bits and pieces that i’ve tangentially absorbed, so its been cool piecing it all together

the music is really good

Would watch that for sure--just bought an oral history of the '86 team.

All the current Keith Hernandez interview of him
chilling at home with his cat was such a great flex

i give schiraldi credit for participating, wouldve liked to hear from more red sox; also maybe some broadcasters? like could they not get costas who was in those nbc dugout shots when prepping for the sox celebration

overall it was p solid

NOT including Costas was a blessing imo but thats just me

Loved the mid 80s Mets, finally got around to watching this today. In some ways, this probably could've been shrunk to three episodes instead of four, but also feel like it could've gone far more in-depth than it did even with four hours to fill. Still hate Dykstra.

the wrap-up-everything ending, post series, felt a little whiplash-y to me as a newbie
