From New York B+. Inspired by the rewatchables and I'd never seen it before
Plastic Disasters was sad and horrifying. The industry behind cosmetic surgery doesn't exactly come off well. One of the subjects ends up as a double amputee and the clinic / business that did the surgery some how manages to 'successfully' claim that they don't know who the actual doctor was that did/botched the surgery
Beware the Slenderman. I have empathy for all the parents involved. Just mind bending that happened and how it could be. The father who is faced with his son getting a school issued iPad and it was an iPad that was the net source for his daughter 8(
Meth Storm - 8( I get how a project like the one shown where an effort is made to round up the lowest level of dealers of in hope of getting them to turn in higher ups to try to track it back to the source but how about human level projects? Like jobs? Or prevention?
McMillions: One guy. One guy destroyed an insane web of people including completely innocent people employed by Dither Brothers Printing and Simon Marketing. Yes the web got really big and complex but it essentially goes back to one guy
Making Waves: The Art of Cinematic Sound. Exactly that and IMO really well done covering the really important people in the field as well as explaining just how complicated and important sound is for movies. I'm amazed that multitrack (70 mm, six track) sound was able to be put together in the days of hand splicing magnetc tracks. Or even the surround of Apocalypses Now was done by a small army on essentially a manual basis
Rapid Response: Fascinating look at the development of safety amd medical response through Indy / CART history
