Killed time on a short flight watching the recent #docudrama Saturday Night, about the 90 minutes leading up to the 1975 first #SNL broadcast. Much like 2018's Bohemian Rhapsody it was well cast, but mashed together and exaggerated many historical details. Yet I love me some #SaturdayNightLive
Maybe Billy Crystal and Milton Berle were there, and Johnny Carson called in, along with Lorne & the original Not Ready For Primetime Players.

I'm going to cheer myself up this evening by watching Der Untergang.

#NowWatching A Complete Unknown (2024) 🎬 This arrived today. I love Bob Dylan and his music so its a surprise I've not seen this already. I've heard good things so let's see how it goes. #movies #BobDylan #docudrama #biography #drama
Raise your hand if you ever heard The #History Channel referred to as The #Hitler Channel.
We called it that back in the day because the chances were very high that any time you checked it out, It was showing some kind of #documentary or #docudrama about #Nazis, #Nazism, or something #NaziAdjacent about #WWII.
Has anyone ever written about this?

If you have access there's a 1hr #docudrama based on the writings of #FlorenceNightingale who was a volunteer nurse in the Crimean war.
It is free on BBC #iPlayer at the moment.
Amazing story and typically good dramatisation.

CBC Gem recently aired Masters of Sex, a docu-drama series about Virginia Johnson and William Masters studies on the psychology of sex. Quite good.
One season had too much fictional stuff about their kids, and another seemed to allege that Johnson advocated conversion therapy, whereas most articles have her being critical of this. Apparently it was Masters who advocated this.

This is the one, and yes, this could very easily be a #docudrama, as-is:
Was #AlexandertheGreat really #gay? The #truth behind the #myths and #hearsay.
The six-part #Netflix #docudrama explores the #life of Alexander the Great through #academic #insight, #archaeology and ongoing #excavations at a site in #Alexandria, #Egypt.
