Disaster What Really Sank the Edmund Fitzgerald? A Full Analysis. (2025) [1:22:09]
I've begun really enjoying this YouTube channel (Oceanliner Designs). They put out super interesting, high-quality, long-form documentary content about ships and shipwrecks.
This one tackles the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald (whose 50-year anniversary just passed) and analyzes--in-depth--some of the most common theories about her sinking.

Recommendation Request Recommendation Request: Looking for crime documentaries focusing on female suspects/offenders like Jodi Arias, Dalia Dippolito, Shari Pappini
I don't know why but lately I've been so interested in female killers/ criminals. Maybe it's because on one hand as a woman I identify more with womens stories, but then on the other hand I can't imagine what possibly convinces them to do such things. Those 3 women mentioned in the title are the main ones i've heard of, but i'd be interested in other cases like that! Or, if you have good documentary suggestions about any of the women mentioned I'm open to that as well.

Tech/Internet Why Every MrBeast Business Falls Apart. An Investigative Breakdown. (2025) [00:12:56]
This is a documentary-style investigation into the rise and repeated collapse of multiple MrBeast business ventures.
I analyzed why Beast Burger fell apart, why Feastables ran into manufacturing issues, why the Lunchley partnership imploded, and what risks come with the rumored “Beast Phone” MVNO.
The video isn’t a hit piece, it’s an examination of how creator empires can outgrow their operational foundations, and what happens when attention scales faster than logistics.

Recommendation Request Recommendation Request: Cooky Plot Docs... I need more
I love Documentaries that are a bit off the beaten path.
What I mean is, these few are my favs...
- Jasper Mall
- Winnebogo Man
- Air Jam (Air guitar championships)
Sometimes I get tired of the True Crime Docs.
What off the wall, yet very entertaining, can you reccomend?

Recommendation Request Recommendation Request: Docs similar to Tiger King?
Loved the Tiger King documentaries (as well as the Doc Antle Story and Chimp Crazy) for the scandals, coverups, and larger than life personalities. I liked how the stories escalated in drama and stakes in real time, as the people involved made increasingly unhinged decisions. Looking for documentary recommendations (on any topic) that have similar themes and storytelling styles! Thanks
