Sadly..he also had a unexplained hatred anything that didn't have pale white skin.

One of the many great things about Andre. He could've no sold everything and been this invincible giant, but he would gladly make other guys look like a million bucks.

HE WAS ACTUALLY HIGHLY SKILLED AT RACISM, BROTHER!

I know this will be good. Simmons created 30 for 30 and HBO always comes correct with the docs.

 

[Jmare007]

I'm gonna watch because HBO tends to do some really good docs and SImmons knows how to produce them, but to be honest neither this or the teaser have me excited about this. Seems more of the same Andre stories we've always heard, I hope they can go a little deeper into his life and show more of his prime athletically, dude was fukking insane for his size.

HBO rarely fails.

Should be good.

 

[Berniewood Hogan]

Andre, brother.

To be honest, I'd been cooling off on this doc after the teaser and trailer. It seemed it was going to be a cool film that didn't have much stuff we didn't already know (similar to the Flair 30 for 30). And with Bill Simmons hyping up Shoemaker as a major player in this, I was even more

But Simmons had the Masked Man on his podcast on Monday and they completely sold me on it. Shoemaker even admitted his book had mistakes - first time I'm hearing him admit that - and that the director just didn't let anything like that happen in his movie

Seems Andre will truly get the HBO quality treatment


ps: Simmons also revealed the director for this doc is doing an "OJ type of doc" for ESPN focusing on Jordan
