    Glitter and Greed - Part 1

    Send a text Season 3 kicks off with sparkle… and a sharp edge. In this episode, hosts Daphne, El Profesor Michael, and Wilsen dive into the first two episodes of the docuseries Glitter and Greed: The Lisa Frank Story. What looks like a rainbow-soaked nostalgia trip quickly turns into something much darker as they unpack the rise, fall, and controversies behind one of the most iconic brands of the ’90s and early 2000s. From rainbow unicorns to workplace chaos, the hosts explore how a brand built on joy, color, and imagination masked a far more complicated reality. They break down first impressions, standout moments, and the questions the series raises about power, creativity, and the cost of aesthetic obsession. Grab your trapper keeper and settle in—Season 3 starts with glitter, but it doesn’t shy away from the greed. 25 Best Documentary Film Podcasts to Listen to in 2026 Daphne Cashion – Top Latinos – Latino Who's Who – Top Latinos Filmmakers, This One's For You!

    The Fight Before Christmas

    Send a text Deck the halls with legal briefs! This week on Get Doc'd, Daphne, Wilsen, and "El Profesor" Michael are diving headfirst into the most wonderful time of the year... and the most litigious. We're dissecting the documentary The Fight Before Christmas, the story of a Christmas-loving lawyer whose obsession with spreading holiday cheer puts him on a collision course with the local Homeowners' Association. Join us as we unpack the battle for the soul of the suburbs. Was this lawyer a festive freedom fighter or a legally-armed Grinch-tracker? Does an HOA's rulebook have the final say on holiday spirit? We'll be debating the fine print of festive expression, the absurdity of neighborhood politics, and asking the big question: where do you draw the line between community standards and a man's god-given right to go Clark Griswold on his own house? Grab your eggnog and your gavel—it's about to get jolly in here. Filmmakers, This One's For You!

    The Greatest Show Never Made

    Send a text In this episode of Get Doc’d, Daphne, Wilsen, and "El Profesor" Michael dive into the unbelievable true story behind the Prime Video docu-series The Greatest Show Never Made. In 2002, dozens of hopeful contestants gave up their jobs, homes, and routines for a mysterious reality show promising £100,000… only to discover the show didn’t exist. What followed was a surreal mix of ambition, deception, and early reality-TV chaos that still echoes two decades later. The crew unpacks the series’ biggest themes, including:  • Why people were so eager to chase fame in the early 2000s  • How “Nik” fabricated an entire TV production from scratch — and why contestants believed him  • The emotional fallout and long-term impact on the people involved Smart, funny, and full of “wait… WHAT?” moments, this conversation breaks down how the greatest show never made accidentally became the greatest story never told — until now.

    Man with 1000 Kids

    Send a text In this mind-blowing episode of Get Doc’d, your hosts tackle Netflix’s latest “is-this-real-life?” docuseries The Man With 1000 Kids—the story of Jonathan Meijer, a Dutch sperm donor who apparently heard “go forth and multiply” and took it as a personal mission statement. Spoiler: he did. Like, a lot. Join us as we wade through the international baby boom this one man sparked with a donation résumé longer than a CVS receipt. From sweet-talking prospective parents to bypassing donor limits in multiple countries, Meijer’s saga plays out like a bizarre rom-com—except the romance is questionable and the comedy is mostly unintentional. And yes, somewhere in all this is a spreadsheet full of children. We wish we were kidding. Your hosts break down the ethical chaos, accidental sibling overlaps, and the global game of “Guess Who’s Related?”—all while asking the hard questions: How does someone accidentally father a village? Why wasn’t there a limit? How do you say Copenhagen? It’s part true crime, part fertility farce, and 100% bananas. Tune in for laughs, gasps, and a fertility scandal so absurd it may just redefine the phrase “family man.” Filmmakers, This One's For You!

    Frankenstein Complex

    Send a text Happy Halloween, creeps and creature-lovers! In this haunted holiday episode of Get Doc’d, your ghoulishly good hosts dig up The Frankenstein Complex—the monstrously fun documentary about the brilliant weirdos behind cinema’s greatest creatures. Think Rick Baker, Rob Bottin, Guillermo del Toro, and a whole lot of slime, sweat, and foam rubber. We’re talking practical effects legends who handcrafted horror icons using nothing but latex, animatronics, and pure monster-loving madness. From werewolf transformations to bug-eyed aliens, these mad geniuses built the nightmares that haunted our childhoods—long before CGI tried to erase their beautifully grotesque art. Join us as we celebrate the monsters, mishaps, melted faces, and flaming puppets that made movie magic feel real—and hilariously dangerous. It’s a spook-tacular romp through creature-feature history, with all the blood, guts, and goo you could ask for (but you won’t have to clean it up). So toss on a costume, light that jack-o’-lantern, and tune in for a fang-tastic Halloween special that’s equal parts love letter and monster mash.  Filmmakers, This One's For You!

    Tron

    Send a text In this electrified episode of Get Doc’d, your hosts jack into the neon-drenched mainframe of cinema history to discuss The Making of Tron (2002) and the OG digital fever dream, Tron (1982). We’re talking Jeff Bridges in a glowing jumpsuit, evil AIs with daddy issues, and special effects so experimental they made the Academy go, “Nah, that’s cheating.” (Yes, seriously—they disqualified it for using computers. Wild.) The hosts take you behind the scenes of this glitchy-yet-glorious cult classic, diving into the painstaking backlit animation process—aka hand-painting every frame like it’s a glowing flipbook from the future—and the real-world tech geniuses who helped bring the Grid to life. You’ll hear about how director Steven Lisberger’s video game obsession somehow turned into a Disney movie, why the documentary is just as fascinating as the film, and how Tron managed to inspire everything from The Matrix to your cousin’s NFT pitch deck. It’s a love letter to retro-futurism, digital dreams, and the brave souls who thought, “What if we put a frisbee in cyberspace and made it awesome?” So put on your lightcycle helmet, grab your identity disc, and get ready for a nostalgic joyride through one of the most ambitious, misunderstood, and glow-in-the-dark sci-fi films ever made.
