Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened
I remember when the whole drama of Fyre Festival was happening. My Snapchat usage was probably at it’s highest point, watching the collective Snapstories of all these rich kids stuck on an island being fed terrible food and with barely any shelter. To me, it was captivating, it was awful, it was hilarious. It was like Lord of the Flies, Millennial style.
So, what was Fyre Festival supposed to be? Basically, a music festival in the Bahamas. It really isn’t that complicated. Billy McFarland and Ja-Rule (yeah, that’s where it starts to get weird), set about to have the greatest party/festival ever and did nearly everything possible…to make it fail.
From promoting that he had bought an island (he didn’t), to telling people he was building bungalows (he couldn’t), to promising people first class food (he lied), Billy McFarland couldn’t have sabotaged his festival anymore than if he booked Blink-182 to play….oh wait (he did).
Hands down the best part about this documentary was not finally getting to see what happened behind the scenes to make Fyre the shittiest shit show that never showed, it was Andy King (McFarland’s mentor) explaining in a very matter-of-fact tone that McFarland asked him to perform a certain oral act on a customs official to get their Evian water out of customs. And he consented to do it too because he didn’t want Fyre to fail THAT MUCH.
Watch that….jaw dropping moment (heh) on Netflix.
Conversations With A Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes
Y’all, this show was intense. Like, haunts you for a while after watching it, intense. People are obsessed with the stories around serial killers and we all know there are probably more than enough, so why should you watch this one?
Watch this one because it’s probably the rawest, truest story about Ted Bundy that has ever been told. It shows you the charismatic handsome man that terrorized the nation with his heinous crimes. Watch this one because you can hear the awful evilness in his voice as he talks about his crimes. And finally, watch this one because it doesn’t sensationalize a serial killer.
Catch The Ted Bundy Tapes on Netflix.
