Tiger King: "Animal People Are Nuts, Man"

April 4, 2020 Susan & Mary
bsg1.jpeg

Hey, all you cool cats and kittens.

The new Netflix documentary Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem, and Madness follows several figures in the world of big cats, but it particularly focuses on Joe Exotic (or Joe Maldonado-Passage) and Carole Baskin. These two figures work against each other, with Baskin taking the side of big cat preservation (with the goal of eventually having no big cats in private captivity), while Exotic wants to continue to breed and raise big cats at his small and privately owned zoo in Oklahoma. Things turn sour when Joe Exotic is tried for attempting to take a hit out on Baskin; however, the documentary itself covers so much more than that case. Susan and Mary are trying to parse through what they’ve seen, and boy, did they see a lot. Spoilers for Tiger King to follow.

The week of January 14, I was anxiously awaiting the new Netflix documentary, Fyre, set to debut that Friday the 18th. But the Hulu gods helped me out and sneaky-dropped their own documentary, Fyre Fraud, four days before Netflix’s scheduled release of Fyre. Obviously, I watched it that night. My only complaint about the whole situation is that I couldn’t watch them back to back because, honestly, I could not get enough of this mess. I still can’t get enough, so here I am, forcing Mary to talk about both documentaries with me. (Spoilers for both documentaries to follow.)
