Basically Live Nation delayed shutting down the show with at least 4 active CPRs going on by 8 minutes so Drake could make his appearance instead of shutting down ASAP.

 

Watching the astro world doc now too. Totally forgot it was by the guys who did the woodstock documentary a couple years back. Now I know it's quality. All realized there's a shit ton of Untold episodes I've missed from previous years so I need to binge those too.

 

Same producers I think, but different directors. This is going to be a weekly anthology docuseries. Each one has different documentarians behind them

 

Ah I think I saw someone (you maybe) post all the upcoming titles. I'm excited, I'm enjoying this one so far and everyone else seems to have really enjoyed it too so it looks like Trainwreck is 2 for 2 and that bodes well for future episodes.

 

plus it was a young gen z crowd that don't know how to act or brace themselves at concerts/festivals because they have no show experience. AND it was coming out of the pandemic, shows starting up again, it was bad timing.

 

God damn. How the hell were there no criminal charges against allowing 15,000 more people in than the venue had support for

 

I was only in a situation close to that cramped one time where it got really scary, and that doc got those memories flying back.

It was the big annual outdoor show for Tampa's alt rock station in 2003 when I was 15. It was during The Used's set.

 

It went to Grand Jury and they voted no to proceeding with charges. Not sure why.

Correction because I just double checked that. They sold 50k tickets before they planned the viewing capacity for the main stage which turned out to be 35k . The venue could hold 50k but the viewing area of the main stage couldn't.

Also might have been even more than that because fans also rushed the gate during opening and they suspect there were a lot of unticketed people there.

 

Why didn’t any of you tell me there was a Dale Earnhardt doc out on Amazon. I’ll watch the hell out of that.

 

How about a wrestling drama about a league of women? They could call it something like... GLOW. Maybe get some big names associated with it like Alison Brie or something.

IM STILL SALTY, NETFLIX! Lol

 

Same as, they were 2 episodes into filming the final season until the pandemic happened!! At least give it a full length movie to wrap things up

 

Stick on Apple TV has been pretty enjoyable

 

Netflix's version of The Voice with a Making The Band hook

 

for some reason this reminded me of ESPN’s attempts at sports drama shows. I was like really into Tilt, wish they kept going with it

 

The Oceangate doc on Netflix wasn't that great. Covered a lot of the same ground as the YouTube stuff I have watched on it. Didn't learn much new.

 

Did anyone else watch this yet? It’s a pretty horrifying look at what we’ve done to our oceans (with some hope). Very well done.

Also I started a thread for nature docs a little bit ago if anyone wants to join me in there.

Astro World soc was so revealing. Especially having experts examine the setup and point out where exactly it was set up to fail from the start jesus. Ugh what a mess and I can't believe Live Nation just got away with it.

 

Live Nation royally fucked up on so many levels. But I also can't believe that Travis Scott was allegedly told about the deaths and to end the show at 10pm and yet still continued to play for another 15 minutes.

But also crazy that he was even told to end it at 10pm and not immediately. The whole situation was just full of greed and complete lack of empathy for the crowd.

 

It's not confirmed in the doc that he actually was told multiple people died while on he was on stage. He says he was just told by the audio engineer to end it after the Drake spot was over and didn't find out the magnitude until the afterparty at Dave & Busters hours later. I think that is more on Live Nation, they are the ones who lobbied the cops to allow them more time while it was confirmed via evidence they actually knew people were actively dying.

Scott should have definitely seen and heard what was happening while on stage though and I don't get why he says he didn't.

 

Yeah good for him for stopping when that one fan collapsed but the crew that was operating the lights or w/e.....there's FOOTAGE of fans pleasing with them.

 

I put most of the onus on Live Nation but Travis didn't seem too perturbed even after the fact.

I kind of took issue with them saying that there were only two people with the power to stop the show and that Travis couldn't have stopped the show even if he wanted to.

 

That part was creepy because he was staring right at that kid who was very obviously dead being taken out and still didn't seem to get what was happening

 

Sorry just assumed you were a Jeff Gordon guy

 

My mother would slap you in the face for this
