Is Cocaine Cowboys the GOAT Documentary?

[Methodical]

Two Escobars had me

Cocaine Cowboys and Cocaine Cowboys 2 are great but they def mfer way to crazy. They just killing on random people no what matter, kill the baby, kill the family, etc had me Godmother just too if I see her and i would be like and

There might be others out there that are better, but none that I enjoy more than Cocaine Cowboys.

 

[Suicide King]

The CC Reloaded is on par with the OG. Central Park 5, Hoop Dreams, anything Ken Burns touches (so ready for the Jackie Robinson doc to drop) and a few others I can't think of off the dome are a lot better

The stories in CC Reloaded had me .

Them boys were not messing around.

 

[Box Cutta]

It's one of my all time faves.

^ Anyone ever read this?

Jon Roberts comes off as at least partially "not that bad" in the documentary...but I've heard that he goes into detail in this book and that he was actually just as sick as many of the others.

jesus how did people make it out of Miami alive?

Shooting 20 people to hit 1

If I had been alive in the 80s and u told me u were a latino from Miami I woulda been like and promptly get away from you.

I knew you was a bytch ass nikka

Is not the greatest but I always the part where Castro sent the worst of Cuba to the U.S. and the U.S. thinking that they are liberating people

Dudes still had their prison shoes on

best ever!

I wish they had more of the Max Mermelstein confidential informant interview he did previously [where they concealed his face with shadow and changed his voice].

Hearing his side of the story would be awesome, especially considering the other 3 people buried him real bad (he did snitch on them so i get it)

to your question Mook, its easily the goat NON SPORTS documentary ever and is my favorite ever.

Miami vice from the criminal point of view based on John Roberts' life would be amazing. Too bad he just died too.

The only ones left are Mickey Munday, and Rivi
