I've enjoyed most of these that I've seen, especially Unguarded and Catching Hell, but the absolute worst one I've watched is Straight Outta LA by Ice Cube. I thought it would be interesting because I know the Raiders have one hell of a history and Al Davis is a story all his own, but it quickly turned into an hour-long+ handjob about NWA and how they changed hip-hop. That's also an interesting story on it's own, but I wanted to know more about the Raiders. Run, Ricky, Run felt pretty flat too, but Straight Outta LA was just terrible.

BasicFunk posted:If I remember right, Straight Outta LA wasn't really supposed to be about the Raiders as much as it was supposed to be about their connection to hip hop culture in the 80s and 90s. But it mostly became about NWA and Ice Cube. That was my problem with it. I feel like a good documentarian lets the story tell itself and not let themselves become the story.
