Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Norm: The Tale of Norm MacDonald (2026)

I came to this documentary as a casual fan of MacDonald but, over the course of this viewing, my appreciation for him grew tremendously. Gary and I watched this together and we both came away so impressed with his commitment to truth, his friends and his privacy. 

This contains dozens of clips of Norm doing the "Fake News," late night appearances, his own talk show, and standup -- that is to say: if you're hoping for laughs, you will get them here. A wonderful tribute to a complicated talent.
