The documentary book of the same name by ~~Ron Swanson~~ ~~Ron Jonson~~ Jon Ronson that inspired this movie is excellent -- as is the Psychopath Test and everything else I've read of his.

Oh my god the Psychopath Test. I have that as an audiobook. "lIkE tOnY...aT bRoAdMoOrE."

I saw this movie once, sat down with my mother and watched it through. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and that was enough.

Damn totally forgot about this movie. Don't even remember much about it. But I know I have seen it and I think I enjoyed it.

Watched this, it was a silly but nice movie. It’s meant to be a comedy but I understand a lot of the stuff, other than the journalist’s story, really happened.

Which makes it more fun.

This movie was fucking hilarious. It's a comedy but none of the characters act like it's a comedy. Everyone is dead serious all the time which makes it feel like it's unintentionally funny which for me at least makes it even more funny.

Another movie that excels in deadpan humor is The Death of Stalin, which last I checked is on Prime Video and Kanopy (the latter of which may be free through library cards): https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_death_of_stalin

Thanks, I have been meaning to watch this.

This was filmed at NMMI in Roswell. I was one of the nine million matching idiots. 980 reporting. Always cracks me up to see the ol' Alma Mater.

Salute the Squirrel!

"I'm going through the wall" I don't remember if that's the exact quote, but it was a good movie.
