Commentary: Okja is a giant pig, the result of a massive corporations science project to create the next great pork product. Mija is his owner who lives with her Grandpa is South Korea. The movie is part action-adventure, part family drama and part commentary on the meat industry. The movie tackles a complicated subject and offers no solutions just highlights the problems and tells a moving story within. The movie does though ask one massive question: is the meat industry the bad guys for supplying our ever growing appetite for their products with the slaughter of innocent animals or are we the bad guys for demanding more and more of said product? Maybe neither, maybe both. - DirectorJohn ChesterStarsJohn ChesterMolly ChesterToddDocumentarian John Chester and his wife Molly work to develop a sustainable farm on 200 acres outside of Los Angeles.Watched via: Hulu

RE-watchability: 2.5** (out of 5)
Commentary: A movie that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It's about Joey King's character wondering around southern California wanting to be in a gang? I think. It's confusing but certain parts are funny ("Hey, look it's Helen!"). - DirectorHunter WeeksStarsJosh CaldwellJohnathan F. KeoughAlon WaismanTwo guys quit stodgy corporate jobs, scrounged up all the savings they could, collected credit cards, and stepped - or better yet - scooted forward to follow their biggest dream: to become filmmakers. Josh Caldwell rode a Segway from Seattle to Boston, while his buddy Hunter Weeks directed a film they both shot about the experience and about the moments leading up to this crazy twist on the American road trip. From cubicle farms to the open road, the film will chronicle how these guys ultimately changed their lives forever.

Commentary: A curiously odd film about riding a Segway across the entire United States, from Seattle to Boston, at the machines top speed of 10 MPH. Starring two former cubical dwellers who quit their corporate jobs to try this insane stunt and make a movie about it. Very enjoyable film about the triumphs, struggles and ultimately the success of such a journey. - DirectorJill MorleyStarsMelissa HernandezGary LeeSusan MerlucciFollow Jill Morley as she delves inside the world of female boxers.

RE-watchability: 3.5*** (out of 5)
Commentary: A movie about men who race suped up Hot Wheels (basically) on a shag carpet. Really it's an RC car. And there's an entire circuit of races around the country that's populated by the accompanying big personalities. It's actually fun to watch (as is this doc) and makes you wonder why ESPN doesn't cover this event as it's as much a sport as the spelling bee. - DirectorRobyn BlileyStarsClayton RosaireDerrick RosaireEllian RosaireStory of the Rosaire family, a 9th generation family of circus performers known for their unique and respectful manner of performing with animals, as they struggle to maintain their family heritage and adapt to the modern world of entertainment.Watched via: Tubi

Commentary: The Rosaire family of circus performers goes back 9 generations (nearly 4000 years <<< joke!) and this doc covers the last generation as they struggle to keep the family circus alive. The human drama of watching the family come to grips with the end being near makes for a great show. - DirectorBradley BeesleyStarsDanny LilesJamie BrooksBrandy Witte'Sweethearts of the Prison Rodeo' goes behind prison walls to follow convict cowgirls on their journey to the 2007 Oklahoma State Penitentiary Rodeo. In 2006, female inmates were allowed to participate for the first time. In a state with the highest female incarceration rate in the country, these women share common experiences such as broken homes, drug abuse and alienation from their children. Since 1940, the Oklahoma State Penitentiary has held an annual 'Prison Rodeo'. Part Wild West show and part coliseum-esque spectacle, it's one of the last of its kind - a relic of the American penal system. Prisoners compete on wild-broncs and bucking bulls, risking life-long injuries. For inmates like Danny Liles, a 14-year veteran of the rodeo, the chance to battle livestock offers a brief respite from prison life. Within this strange arena the prisoners become the heroes while the public and guards applaud.Watched via: Tubi
