Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness


If you haven't heard of Netflix's Tiger King yet, I would be surprised. In fact most of you have likely already binged this. On the off chance you haven't, book off a six hour time slot and get busy. What else do you have to do these days anyway, right? Watching Tiger King is like drinking a couple of ice cold beers on an empty stomach and suddenly somebody put a bowl of greasy potato chips in front of you. You will devour it like a tiger would devour expired Walmart chicken. What is it all about? It's about people running big cat zoos in the Southern US. The main focus of the show is the feud between the gay, redneck, polygamist, county-singing (voice of an angel), Joe Exotic and a woman (who people believe killed her husband) named Carole Baskin. Both run big cat zoos. Baskin claims to be running a sanctuary but that seems dubious. There are also a ton of other characters running around that are right out of a Carl Hiaasen novel; people missing legs, an arm, teeth, tattoos everywhere, and everyone seems to be carrying a gun. It makes Hunter S. Thompson look boring. It's that bananas. Enough writing, enough reading. Go watch this on Netflix now.

  1. Can't wait to see it. A few other people have mentioned but now that I've heard from the MovieKing, I'm in. It's the next thing K and I will watch.
