    How to Succeed at Failing, Part 1: The Chain of Events (Update)

    632. When Did We All Start Watching Documentaries?

    It used to be that making documentary films meant taking a vow of poverty (and obscurity). The streaming revolution changed that. Award-winning filmmaker R.J. Cutler talks to Stephen Dubner about capturing Billie Eilish’s musical genius and Martha Stewart’s vulnerability — and why he really, really, really needs to make a film about the New York Mets.   SOURCES:R.J.

    It’s been in development for five years and has at least a year to go. On the eve of its out-of-town debut, the actor playing Lincoln quit.
