Summary

This documentary from Men’s Health tells us that body dysmorphia is running rampant among teenage boys in America. It follows four teens who take “extreme” measures to try to match the body images they see on social media (sorta). Then, the video takes a turn into a “debate” about supplements for some reason.

This doc is pretty aimless and pointless, but we had fun tearing it apart.

Dean Saddoris @deansaddoris.ck chops it up with us again.

0:00.0	Dean is joining us again today,
0:11.4	and we are talking about this
0:13.3	puff piece of a documentary.
0:17.9	I mean, from mental health.
0:20.1	I don't even do to,
0:22.0	I don't even know where to fucking start with this thing. Did we just lose the art of building documentaries? This was a YouTube
0:27.2	video, dude. No, it was a bad one. It was a bad YouTube video. But even the one we watched
0:31.2	before, although production was slightly better, Brian didn't really bring the heat either. Like,
0:36.2	the story in both of these is lacking. Yeah.
0:39.3	I think that you have to have a narrative or there's no point. And even if you have to
0:44.5	construct the narrative, bigger, stronger, faster out of the footage that you have. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:49.9	I think a lot of documentaries that made that way, right? Like the famous chimpanzee one that came out last year, like they're in the, they've been in that jungle as a production team for 20 years.
0:59.1	Like you don't go in there saying, I'm going to follow Chimp A.
1:02.0	Yeah.
1:02.3	Yeah, you film and then the story.
1:03.8	And then you build a story around which you film.

1:13.9	Which one?
1:14.4	The chimps?
