The King of Kong is great! It'd make a great double feature with Relaxer, which is not a doc (and is also quite weird), but Billy Mitchell was actually cast in it originally before the director decided it'd be too much of a stunt.

Hey, thanks for the post. I didn’t know my obsessions kept me happy, but the blindfold is officially peeled. My favorite line was, “I am not interested in sports, but I am interested in obsessions.” Now off to binge on docus!

OMG this is EXTREMELY MY JAM. I've seen a couple of these but there were a bunch I haven't heard of!! I can't wait to watch them all!!

Also: the word that knocked ME out of the spelling bee was "cassette." Too much repetition, but I will, as you mentioned, absolutely never get that word wrong again!

I'm convinced that many of us are walking around with repressed spelling bee trauma, lol -- have fun checking out the docs!

Lots and lots of great competitions abound, too many to track I think. My contribution is more about fun-loving, canines who are in fact, the greatest frisbee catchers in the world. Check out "Fly High: Story of the Disc Dog". You will be amazed.
