 ====== Documentary ======
-A **documentary** is a piece of non-fictional media, often screened in movie theaters. There is a long-running debate if documentaries are true movies or not. [[gregg]] claimed that the documentary //Trinity & Beyond// may have used faked footage in its production.[(cite:pod23>[[pod23]])]
+A **documentary** is a piece of non-fictional media, often screened in movie theaters. In the movie review series //[[oncinema|On Cinema]]// there is a long-running debate if documentaries are true movies or not. Frequent guest [[gregg]] considers them poorly made and uninteresting movies at best,[(cite:pod23>[[pod23]])] and doesn't even consider them movies at worst.[(cite:pod24>[[pod24]])] He usually rates them poorly, if at all. Turkington posits that if a film tells a historical story using actors, it is a dramatization, and therefore not a documentary,[(cite:s01e08>[[s01e08]])] and thus is a real movie. Inversely, not using actors then makes the film a documentary, and not a movie.

+===== Concert Movies =====
+Similar to documentaries, concert movies do not have actors, instead filming actual events. While Heidecker and his girlfriend [[ayaka]] highly rated //One Direction: This is Us//, having seen it with [[tims_niece]], it was given 0 bags of popcorn by Turkington, who felt that it shouldn't have been rated on the show.[(cite:s03e09>[[s03e09]])]
