The first 20 minutes of 'Hitchhikers.' Horrible.

Watching "The Staircase" docu-series on Netflix. Riveting.

"First Man", Neil Armstrong biopic. New details, for me anyway, but not comprehensive. He nearly loses an X-15 so they send him to the Moon. Lots of closer-than-necessary-ups.

Fat Head. A documentary debunking Super Size Me, including a diet where he manages to lose 12 lbs and lower his cholesterol (although this even includes the "good" cholesterol.)
It's pretty informative, although it's clearly done on a shoestring budget (I suspect a good portion of the film's budget ended up going to Warner Brothers for their repeated use of Deep Throat saying "Follow the Money"), but Naughton does make some good points about the problematic nature behind what goes into making foods seem healthy (from the veiled elitism in its rhetoric [up to and including racism, since many minorities whose population has been increasing tend to be predisposed to having heavier builds] to the fact that its science just plain doesn't add up), and the eyebrow-raising nature of the BMI [note: Arnold Schwarzenegger would have qualified as obese during his "Pumping Iron" days]. Naughton himself might rub people the wrong way, with his vaguely Stan Freberg-esque voice and the occasional libertarian views that shine through (most noticeably the occasional use of snarl words like "big government" and "regulation"), but, hey, South Park can be more blatant in their swings to the right, but most of us still watch it.
