Corben’s films are about athletes, Florida, drugs or more than one of those three. The first one I saw was Screwball (on DVD) about the Florida part of the baseball steroid scandal and it was very entertaining. They used kids to reenact the scenes and somehow that worked because the truth was unbelievable anyway. Corben’s films are filled with interviews and historical TV news clips from when the events actually took place.
I liked it so much I watched other films by him.
The U and the U Part 2 about the University of Miami Football team and Broke were ESPN 30 for 30 shows and I have them on Blu-ray collections. How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke inspired Broke. I got Cocaine Cowboys Reloaded on Blu-ray.
I got DVDs of Square Grouper, Limelight, and Cocaine Cowboys 2. I’d recommend all of them. He shows all sides of the story and gets his interview subjects to really open up and be honest about the good and bad times.
Sad!
