A & E Network had another one of their 'sexy' documentaries this week.

4 hours on Bob Guccione, founder and former publisher of Penthouse. It was pretty much what you might expect. Bob had sex with a lot of the Pets. Some of the Pets felt exploited. Bob spent money like water and eventually ran out of money. the section on the movie "Caligula" was interesting.

some of the more interesting stuff involved Bob's relationship with his kids. He had 3 sons and a daughter, and by the time he died, he wasn't speaking to any of them. One of his sons literally could not be found - even his siblings have no idea where he is. one son and his daughter agreed to be interviewed for the documentary.

A&E has previously done documentaries on Playboy and Chippendales. they must think this type of material gets good ratings.

Just stumbled onto this board. Couple interesting docs my wife and I watched recently on Max are "McMillions" and "Telemarketers". Telemarketers will really piss you off.

Just saw Equalizer 3 and it didn't disappoint. Can't go wrong with Denzel. On a side note very annoying to me that Hollywood will place bad guys from any country in the world, but never for from China. I understand why, but just annoying that one of the most evil govts in the world is given special treatment.

Just finished Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant on Amazon Prime. Intense. Liked it.

I keep seeing that and thinking about watching it. Not sure if Mrs. Ogee would like it but I'm interested. i'm a Guy Ritchie fan!

We just started "Florida Man" on Netflix; only one episode in, we'll see how it goes.
