iPads with Retina Display hit the target for Bhutan's archers Bhutan's national sport is archery. Even if you don't listen to this episode, you've learnt something for your next pub quiz. The issue for Bhutan (and their lovely royal family) is that their traditional form of archery (you know, just pissed lads in the park shooting arrows from bamboo bows) is under threat from the modern and more popular Olympic version. We solve their issues via our review of Kingdom of Archers on this episode of the podcast.

Dick & Juanita's Son is Bowling's Bad Boy You know Pete from his viral YouTube clip. You'll love him after listening to this. Dick and Juanita's boy is God's gift to podcast sports documentary reviewers (so, just us), with his cool shades, ten pin bowling strikes and constant chops of his crotch (which may or may not have been trademark infringement.

Oddballs get Screwballed with the A-Roid Screwball is like all the baseball documentaries we've reviewed - it's about doping. And god it's strange. Strange enough to be kind of good.

Cody Simpson presents: Head Above Water (ft Flo Rida) We're proud of this episode. Mainly because we got 30 odd minutes of chat out of Head Above Water. It's a PR piece for Swimming Australia. Or maybe just for Cody Simpson (shout out to Flo Rida.) What it did do was direct us to the 1996 dark comedy of the same name with Cam Diaz and Billy Zane, Avril's hit song, and Cody's back catalog. See, life always gives you a silver lining. Kind of. Watch Head Above Water here --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/parttimesport/message

God-ness gracious, great balls of F1re Drive to Survive is a bloody good documentary series. In fact, all F1 spots are. We focus in on ep 9 of season 3, where Romain Grosjean gets lit on fire and Sergio Perez uses God's power to win a car race. It's bloody action packed, let us tell you that for free (the ep that is, this podcast is just two drunk men rambling for 30 minutes.) Come for the analysis, stay for our stories about car crashes.

Last Chance U Get To Yell Violently Last Chance U follows junior college football teams doing it the hard way. Laney College, in Oakland, features in their fifth series. We watched episode one.

The muscles in Pumping Iron make Cal sick Bodybuilding in the 70's was wild and Arnie was king. Pumping Iron (i.e. Arnie's PR piece) takes us behind the Mr Universe and Mr Olympia scene where there's pranks, dumb dumbs, and average joes going wild. It makes Cal queasy.

Tiger crashed his car because of this, no doubt Tiger gets in another mysterious car accident months after this gossip style docco gets released? We're not buying it and you shouldn't be selling it.

Mike Tyson is a mad man Well, this one was a doozy. Tyson (2008) is the sports documentary in focus and to be perfectly honest, it's bloody confronting. The docco is an hour and a half of Iron Mike's monologue and it leaves you scratching your head. From juvie, to stardom, to women, to drugs, to prison, to fighting for pay cheques, Mike's had the life that makes you think ‘what if?' www.parttimesport.com Send in your Sports Documentary suggestions by tapping here And watch the Docco itself here --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/parttimesport/message

Free Solo'ing El Capitan? Not for us, thanks Alex Honnold can climb really high mountains without ropes and we are impressed. We wouldn't do it, personally, but you've got to admire the man for going up El Capitan ‘Free Solo' with just his film crew there to watch him potentially die.

F1, Imola, and Senna: The Sid Watkins Story Our sports documentary for this week is ‘Senna,' which looks at the life of F1 great and Brazilian star Ayrton Senna. It's an emotional rollercoaster - especially in the lead-up to Imola in 2020 - but it's also one of the best doccos we've ever watched.

The AFL Merge of Fitzroy, Brisbane and Nauru Australian Rules Football in the 80's and 90's wasn't the relative cash cow it is today, so like all good executives, the AFL big wigs were looking for scapegoats and blood. Many struggling teams were put under the ‘merge' microscope, but it was Fitzroy Lions and Brisbane Bears that ultimately made the unholy matrimony. This is the story of how they became the Brisbane Lions (thanks Nauru.)

Yes Yes to No No: A Dockumentary Dock Ellis is famous for throwing a no-hitter while high on LSD, but we find out there's more to the man than being ‘high as a Georgia pine.'

Ugly Rugby and KFC for these Pacific Warriors The biggest force in World Rugby isn't the all conquering All Blacks, but three small Pacific Island nations that consistently punch above their weight (mainly thanks to KFC.)

Cycling through a Sunday in Hell As a sports documentary filmed in 1976, ‘A Sunday in Hell' is a beautiful change up from the modern classics. We review this epic film as it profiles the 1976 Paris-Roubaix cycling race that is famous for its stage nicknamed ‘Hell.' The narrator hates the French, protestors make their presence felt (because France), and the epic scenery and soundtrack make this a very worthwhile watch. https://www.parttimesport.com Click here to watch ‘A Sunday in Hell'... without subtitles ;) --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/parttimesport/message

Andy Murray and his metal tennis hip ‘Andy Murray: Resurfacing' makes you appreciate Andy Murray. As he returns to grand slams via the 2020 US Open of Tennis, we think about Shane and the support team, how annoying/amazing he can be on a daily basis, whether his reconditioning specialist was worth the money, and if it's normal for tennis players to have 5 ex-coaches.

Battered Bastards of Baseball go Bing The Battered Bastards of Baseball serves as our sports documentary of choice as we celebrate the return of Major League Baseball this week. Kurt's Dad Bing Russell (you'll know them both from the 1979 film Elvis) takes on organized baseball - and my word they don't like it.
