Episode #94: Baadasssss Metallimaina

This week, the show gets “real.” No, not that kind of real, real as in documentary film real. Wait, wait, wait. I know it sounds boring, but come on! It’s us! We promise we won’t go all Ken Burns on you. (Not that there’s anything wrong with Ken, he just doesn’t have that OTC edge that you have all come to love and expect.)

First up, we have out top six favorite documentaries. As you all know, you can make a doc out of any subject, so it should be an interesting compilation. Then we get into our two reviews.

Our first review is “Metallimania” from 1997. This doc was filmed during the height of Metallica’s career, right after the release of the Black album and just before Load was recorded (the release was delayed a few years after completion.) The majority of the doc is centered on Metallica fans. Now, I know that sounds awful, but, think about this statement towards the end of the film: “Metallica fans, as intelligent as they are diverse. As ugly as they are diverse…” and you have the sense of humor that the doc takes.

Trivia Fact: The Metallica camp fought the release of this doc.

Our second review of the week is for 2002’s Baadasssss Cinema. Made for The Independent Film Channel, this doc takes a look at Blaxploitation films during their very short but very popular heyday. There are many archive as well as new interviews with many people involved in the genre and many of our favorite films are spotlighted. Even though it is under an hour in length, it is packed with information.

Trivia Fact: In Death Proof, Shanna (Jordan Ladd) is wearing a t-shirt with this doc’s logo on it.
