Top 5 Documentaries on Netflix for Creative Type

Inspiration can be hard to come by when you’re a creative type of person. Everyone has their own way of getting inspired.  Every creative is familiar with their own version of writers block. It doesn’t matter what media or expression your art manifests itself in, you know what its like to experience a blockage in your creative arteries.  Whenever I get a creative block I turn to 2 places I like to go and they are Netflix and Youtube.  Youtube is good but quality can be low and you never really know what you’re going to get. On the other hand Netflix has a library of awesome material with a star rating system that lets you know basically what level of content you’re going to get.  The problem with Netflix is sifting through their entire library to find what it is you don’t know you’re looking for.  It makes it that much sweeter when you find something that you can go to your friends with and you know they will enjoy it too.  You are my friends and here is my list.

#5 Stripped

Stripped is a documentary about Comic Strips and their creators.  They interview and talk about the top comic strip creators of comics like Penny Arcade, Calvin and Hobbes, Luann, Foxtrot, Peanuts, Garfield, Pogo, and many more. It’s a perfect documentary for anyone looking for a little comedy writing, drawing, self publishing type of inspiration.  This documentary not only talks about comics with comic creators they also delve into the future of comics as print media is fading out.

#4 Comedians of Comedy

Comedians of Comedy follows comedians Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn, Maria Bamford, and Zach Galifianakis on a comedy tour called The Comedians of Comedy.  The Documentary follows these leading alternative comedians as they talk about comedy and live day to day on the road.  There are clips of each of their comedy and how the push the boundries of whats known at conventional stand up comedy.  They tell old comedy stories and talk about thing they have been through while they create new memories.

#3 Dear Mr. Watterson

Dear Mr. Watterson is basically a love letter to arguably one of the greatest comic creators to ever live.  The documentary explores the comic strip Calvin and Hobbes and its creator.  The doc interviews people from all walks of life and they discuss how Calvin and Hobbes has impacted their life.

Featuring voice actor such as John Dimaggio (Bender from Futurama), Kevin Conroy (Batman), Mark Hamill (The Joker), and many more.  They discuss the process of being a voice actor and making a career with their voices. Some of cartoons more recognizable voices are in it and it’s a lot of fun to see the people behind your favorite characters like SpoungeBob, Tommy Pickles, Bender, and many many more.

#1 Tig

This one holds a special place in my heart because it chronicles the journey of stand up comedian Tig Notaro to notoriety.  This is the documentary that should be called “A Series of Unfortunate events” because it talks about the horrible trials she had to endure that eventually led up to what would be the stand up performance of a lifetime.  Its sound like a bit much but even one of the things she endured would have been overwhelming but she endured.  It also covers her journey afterwards and all the things that came from the bad and are still in development.  On a personal note, the reason this one sticks hard with me is because I was just getting out of the hospital wondering how I was going to deal with the pain and trials I was going through so I was in bed and I turned on Netflix and there it was being promoted in the big window like it was calling to me.  It helped me so much.

This is my list of the best documentaries on Netflix. Enjoy and your welcome.

Goku Going Super Saiyan God

Have you ever been sitting at home struggling through a painful dookey when you get the thought, "if I was Goku, would be going super Saiyan right now?"  Then it got me wondering, "would the level of Super Saiyan vary on the level of pain that he went thru. Which then got me wondering, "would Super Saiyan God be at a pain level near childbirth or gnawing off your own private parts?" Personally I think this is what happens during the comercial breaks.  But also since it makes his so much stronger how much force would then the poop come out with. If you dont think this would ever happen then you've never concentrated during a horrifically painful poopoo!

Why Batman Is The Most Unrealistic Character In The DC Universe

With the new Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice trailer out the debate has sparked again.  You know the one, who would win between Batman and Superman?  This question drives me crazy, why is it even an argument?  Its so obvious that someone with Super in their name should be, I dunno… maybe,  superior to a regular human.  But that’s not even the point of this article, the point of this article Is to prove why Batman is the most unrealistic character.

First off just the notion that Batman could beat Superman is like a little kid bragging about beating his dad at baseball.  Yea he won just because his dad didn’t want to murder him but whatever.  Superman is what every little boy pretends to be and Batman is who every little boy thinks he can grow up to be, the problem is that they are both the same amount of unrealistic.

I don’t mean this in a real scientific way either, I mean he is unrealistic because its not consistent.  Like the Superman example, why can Batman beat the most powerful being in the universe but the Joker is his arch nemesis.  He can beat a super powered alien but a crazy guy with a couple knives is just too much for him, give me a break.  Batmans most dangerous villains are just morning exercise for Superman but you want me to believe Batman is the best… please. 

His money is ridiculous.  There are rich people in the world but why would no one notice that Bruce Wayne is Batman,  just because he dates hot chicks and is in the tabloids.  Its kind of like iron man, if Tony Stark wasn’t so upfront about being Iron Man everyone would figure it out because who else would have the resources and the brains to be Iron Man.  If Batman being as smart as he is and the worlds greatest tactician, wouldn’t the people growing up with him have noticed even if it was just teachers?  They would be sitting around the teachers lounge of the boarding school chatting about Batman and someone would say you know who could have been Batman, he had the brains the money and the military resources, The Wayne kid.  It would just take a mention before it caught wind and the tabloids would be waiting at the gates of Wayne Manor then someone would be persistent enough to notice that Batman always escaped the same way in the same direction, or they would just see the airplane and where it landed.

He knows every Martial Art?  Nobody has this much time! The guy that came up with Batman… and trust me it wasn’t Bob Kane, must have been that little kid you could never shoot with your finger gun because he was always bullet proof or you missed or his mom was calling him or you weren’t watching when he became everything proof.  Either way you put it I hated that kid and it bothers me when a fictional character cant be beaten.  So Batman was supposed to be like 10 Bruce Lees, I don’t think so.  Even Bruce Lee said that unless a person has more than 2 arms or 2 legs its all the same style of fighting. 

Maybe I’m just being a child, maybe I just like Superman way more, or maybe its just too much of a stretch for me… Don’t even get me started on Robin!

Stinkin Monkies 14- I Love Church

I think Church kids remember way better than they like it as adults for this very reason.  The more I think about it, the more I notice how much i used to sleep through church.  I actually have a memories of sleeping curled up under a bench and being totally left alone.  Good Times!  Church sleep has got to be some of the best sleep ever created.  I dont think you should get mad at people when they fall asleep in church because Jesus said you have to be like a child, and who sleeps more in church than a child.  Enjoy!

Stinkin Monkies 13- Silly Hipsters

If you've ever seen a hipster then you know exactly what its like to just want to go up to them and start laughing.  Hipsters are so silly, from the way they dress to the fact that they think they're all unique by being the same.  They make me laugh because they wear girl pants, skinny jeans, you can call them what you want but they only look good on girls. Enjoy!

Stinkin Monkies 12- Do What I Say

Dont you hate it when this happens?  I hate it when this happens and I dont even have kids. This recently happened to me and it drove me insane, not literally though.  This is one of those scenarios that single and parentless people run through their heads, we all know you cant really do it but it just seems like a real great way to deal with a problem child.  Hope you enjoy it! 

Stinkin Monkies 11- Who Wants Candy?

I'm trying something new this time.  Making a comic strip for little kids is fun but I'm gonna see if I can make some adults laugh.  This strip was inspired by every teacher and adult in my life that always said to never take candy from strangers.  I dont know about you but I was never offered any candy from anyone.  Was I not a sexy kid?  My feelings were hurt.  But our little monkey buddy here is caught with the old candy on a string trick. Enjoy!

Stinkin Monkies 10- Cowboy Drive By

Here is the new episode of Stinkin Monkies.  We have all watched cowboy movies and wanted to be the bad guy.  I dont know about you but I always root for the bad guys until they start acting like bastards.  Hope you enjoy it!

Dark Knight Rises- A Quick Review

HOLY CRAP! If you havent seen the other two movies watch them before you see this one. There were so many skeptics coming into this movie and I was kinda one of them but I still really wanted to see this movie. How could it possibly compete with The Dark Knight, right? Wrong, its not a competition, there is no reason to compete with it because they are all apart of each other. The Joker is a way different kind of cool than Bane is in this movie, so there isn’t even a comparison, its Chinese stars and Batarangs.

With that being said, Watch This Movie! I don’t like to give away endings in my movie reviews but I will say that the villain in this movie is so freakin cool! The way the movie is set up, is a few years down the road and there has been no sighting of Batman for years, you remember because he’s the “bad guy.” So now commissioner Gordon is getting crushed under the lie, Bruce Wayne hasn’t shown his face in public either and now there are Howard Hughes type rumors going around about him. Because this is a movie and not a comic book Batman cant be young forever, this dudes body is breaking down and Bane has just taken over the city under the guise of giving Gotham back to the people.

The characters they brought out for this movie rock so much without getting cheesy. The Story about being born in prison is so cool along with them showing the Batwing. The Character of John Blake as a hot head cop turned detective with a similar past to Bruce Wayne makes for an interesting gear in this machine of awesomeness. Catwoman also shows her face and I am not even very partial to Anne Hathaway as an actress but her portrayal of Catwoman is great.

This movie is a rollercoaster of emotion, unlike Michael Bay, Christopher Nolan knows how to seduce an audience with a characters and story to make you feel like you’re apart of it.

So all I can say to Christopher Nolan is, “You have been given Superman…. I‘ll vote you for you for president if you get it right!”

Stinkin Monkies 8

Here's the Stinkin Monkies strip for the week.  It took a little longer than usual because I was trying out a new style of inking. This was done with a rapidograph and traced over with inkscape.  I was in such a hurry I left out a few steps but I think over all it looks a lot better this time. Hope you enjoy it!

Stinkin Monkies 7

Its that time of the week again, and time for another round of Stinkin Monkies.  This is strip 7 of my weekly comic strip.  Fart jokes are always funny and I think it was about time the monkies did one. Hope you enjoy it!

Stinkin Monkies 5

Here is the new strip and the kids are getting into trouble like always.  I think Grampas teeth had it coming if you ask me.
