The idea behind this documentary podcast started when Paco sat down to watch all of the PBS 100 best documentaries. He particularly loves the slice-a-life-weird-americana types of docs: Brothers Keeper, MarJoe, Kid Stays In The Picture, Hoop Dreams, Grizzly Man etc. Every morning he’d watch one or two of these documentaries and afterwards he wanted to hear people and filmmakers discuss them. But after searching for a podcast devoted to discussing documentaries and interviewing people that love and make them he came up empty. So he contacted his buddy George Chen a fellow documentary lover and together they started Sup Doc

Listened to your Steve Avery episode which was entertaining. I think that the nephew is completely innocent and used by law enforcement because he’s mentally limited. They walked all over Brandon’s mother too. I am not sure about Steve. If he did it, why not use the car crusher? Except for the cat..(which is symbolic of females). His rage has been directed to people he knows well-not strangers. The whole thing has gone past guilty or not anyway. This case was so mishandled by the police from the beginning that justice cannot be served. How awful for Theresa’s family this must be agony for them. That Special Prosecutor Katz is a creepy pig!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the episode.
