Summary

Justin Sayles and Jodi Walker create a monkey island to recap ‘Chimp Crazy,’ a four-part HBO docuseries. They start by discussing the complicated nature of its virality, Alan Cumming’s major role in the search for Tonka the missing chimp, and PETA’s heavy involvement in the case (3:12). Along the way, they talk about the eccentricity of Tonia Haddix and her story (17:14). Later, they unpack series director Eric Goode’s use of a proxy director and the blurry ethics around that tactic in documentary filmmaking (34:52).
