Hey Bloggees,
If you're anything like me, chances are you that you crash onto the couch after a day of work, flip on the TV, and start scrolling through Netflix. With the thousands of choices and changing inventory of shows, it can be a little daunting to try and pick something to watch. Recently though, I've come across some great documentaries that are worth checking out. If you're not a documentary person, at least give these a shot before trolling for 80's TV shows or British Sci-Fi (which I enjoy)...
Drew: The Man Behind the Poster
(WARNING: Some language and imagery toward the end of the documentary / credits may not be appropriate)
Back to the Future, The Walking Dead, and Alice Cooper, what do they have in common? One man, Drew Struzan. This documentary delves into the story of the man behind some of the most famous movie posters of all time. The documentary includes interviews with George Lucas, Harrison Ford, and Micheal J. Fox (just to name a few). Definitely great for movie lovers, designers, artists, and illustrators.
Muscle Shoals
(Mild Language)
Every wondered about that one line from Lynyrd Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama? Well this documentary will help answer that question (just stick around through the credits to find out). Learn about the little town in Alabama with big music impact. Here from Bono, Keith Richards, Aretha Franklin, and many others. Great for music lovers.
Superheros: The Never-Ending Story
Ever curious about the history of modern American mythology? You'll definitely get quite the education with this PBS series. The documentary chronicles the history of comic book superheros from the arrival of Superman to the high-grossing Avengers movie. Stan Lee, Adam West, and Lynda Carter are just a few of the many guests that share their story. Definitely for the true nerd of heart.
So there you go, three great documentaries to check out on your next round of Netflix. Hopefully this should make for a more relaxing evening (as opposed to getting overwhelmed by the selection). Happy viewing and...your welcome! 'Till next time Bloggees!
