Monday Morning Moreno – Documentary Round Up with PeteMC
Welcome to the very first ever Monday Morning Moreno podcast. Isn’t that CRAZY!? First one ever!
No, for real, stop playing around. This week I had listener/contributor/best buddy PeteMC join the podcast to talk documentaries. He just recently had seen the Ebert documentary “Life Itself” and the John Milius documentary “Milius“, and being a huge documentary fan I couldn’t wait to discuss those films. And as things progress, we wind up talking about some of our favorite documentaries including Exit Through the Gift Shot, Hoop Dreams, Man on Wire, and Grizzly Man.
Being an absolute asshole, I completely forget to talk about one of my favorite documentaries, The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia. Seriously. So. Good.
Towards the conclusion of the podcast we focus a bit on music documentaries and finally we’re out.
Hope you guys enjoy this overview of some of the best documentaries ever. As always, if you want to add to the conversation, call 708-406-9546, and let us know your favorite documentaries or if you have another talking point or want to be a co-host. Come on, don’t be a pussy.
Here’s this week’s opener: Houndmouth “15 Years”.

Nice podcast fellas, really refreshing to hear some quality documentary talk. I’ve always felt that the tell tale sign of a great doc is when it can take a subject that you really never cared for and/or knew anything about and makes it goddamn interesting as fuck for an hour & a half. Movies like “Pulling John” (Arm Wrestling), “Somm” (Wine Tasters), “The Queen of Versailles” (Riches to Rags story), “Indie Game: The Movie” (video games), and “Burt’s Buzz” (fucking chap stick, lol) are all great examples of this. Its an added bonus when its something you love ala: “Muscle Shoals”, “You Don’t Know Bo”, or “The Kid Stays In The Picture”.
Anyways, just saw one on Netflix that I wanted to put on your radar called “All This Mayhem” that was fucking fantastic. It definitely falls into the first category i mentioned of things I never really cared/knew about, because aside from playing some Tony Hawk in college and loving “Dogtown and Z boys”, I don’t know shit about skateboarding. But this movie takes you right into this world at its height in the late 90’s and spits you back out like it did to many of the people involved. Not gonna say too much about the story but it centers on the rise and fall of the Pappas brothers who were true innovators in the sport, and made a lot of fans and enemies along the way. Definitely worth a watch if you got time, if not only for some of the shit talk aimed at Tony Hawk (laughed my balls off).
Keep the quality content coming, much appreciated at the workplace. JTG
