Jon Bois - kinda odd sports documentarian guy

[peanutbutter]

Anyone else like the guy? Only just got around to seeing his documentary about the near-extinction of athletes named Bob https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvh6NLqKRfs Love his whole attitude and aesthetic, wish he had more stuff but at the same time I imagine each one takes fucking ages to figure out.


Generally a lot better by himself than with collaborators from what I've seen. Possibly a full set here, if the title sounds like you might like it you probably will

Anyone else doing similar stuff in anything?

I quite enjoy the SB Nation channel, especially their Rewinder series.
Weird really as, other than the NFL, I don't particularly care for US sports.

17776 is probably the best piece of fiction this decade.

just re-read/watched 17776 today. astonishing bit of work. can't believe a sports website published it.

the only dud I've seen from Bois is his MMA work, which was error-riddled.

That seemed quite at odds with the rest of his stuff to me, so I just blamed it on Felix Biderman

Has Bois done any fiction other than 17776 actually?
