WKNDwatchlist – Inside the Manosphere, Matter of Time and Untold: Chess Mates
This week, we’re talking about three hard-hitting documentaries in Digital Truth: Inside the Manosphere, Matter of Time and Untold: Chess Mates.
Hey! What are YOU watching this weekend? Welcome to the WKNDwatchlist! I’m Spling. We’re talking about three documentaries that blur the line between performance and reality in a connected world
Inside the Manosphere
In Inside the Manosphere, Louis Theroux takes a fascinating deep dive into the world of ultra-masculine influencers. Using his signature verbal sparring, he confronts figures like Sneako and Myron Gaines, challenging their polarizing views on power and gender. It’s a tense, thought-provoking exposé that captures the grit and hypocrisy behind the viral fame of this modern movement.
Matter of Time
Director Matt Finlin’s Matter of Time is a heart-wrenching hybrid of concert film and advocacy documentary. By interspersing an intimate Eddie Vedder performance with the sobering stories of children living with EB, the film puts a resilient face on this devastating skin disease. It’s an earnest, soulful, and deeply humanistic look at the urgent, hopeful race for a cure.
Untold: Chess Mates
Big egos and bitter rivalry fuel Untold: Chess Mates. This slick documentary explores the 2022 scandal where underdog Hans Niemann stunned the legendary Magnus Carlsen. Director Thomas Tancred captures the high-stakes chaos of cheating allegations and the multi-million dollar online chess boom. It’s an energetic, undeniably watchable thriller—and you don’t even need to know how to play.
