Trailer for Hulu Original Music Doc 'Machine Gun Kelly's Life In Pink'

"Feels like the world hates me." "This has to be life-changing." Hulu has revealed the first official trailer for another new music biopic documentary titled Machine Gun Kelly's Life In Pink, profiling the rock star and his rise to fame and current struggles with criticism. "Pain, passion, and love, get a look into the mind of Machine Gun Kelly" - also known as Colson Baker. The film is "an all-access pass, that goes beyond the headlines, into the chaotic world of Machine Gun Kelly." From this full-length trailer, it hints that the doc will cover his origins as a local band and being raised by divorced parents, as well as his current fame and success, including all the dislike and negative attention that comes with it. I always appreciate when they're honest about the "love him, hate him" side of things - not everyone is a fan of MGK, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a story to tell. But this still looks like an average music biopic doc hitting all the usual beats. ›››

Netflix True Crime Doc Series 'D.B. Cooper: Where Are You?!' Trailer

"We don't know who he is or was, where he came from, or where he went." Focus on the facts, people, don't get caught up in conspiracy! Netflix has revealed a trailer for another true crime doc mini-series streaming this July titled D.B. Cooper: Where Are You?!. In 1971, a skyjacker parachutes off a plane with a bag of stolen cash — and gets away with it. Decades later, his identity remains a compelling mystery, turning him into some kind of folk hero. The series looks into the years of investigations, and specifically the "citizen sleuths" who have been trying to solve it on their own despite the FBI unable to figure it out after decades of work. This isn't even the first doc about him! The Mystery of D.B. Cooper debuted on HBO a few years back. They've even been trying to make a movie about him for years called Skyjack. Then along came the "Loki" series which answered all the questions by revealing that it was Loki all along. Of course it was…! I honestly believe we will never know the truth and he will never be revealed, remaining an unsolved mystery forever. ›››

Watch: Jack Dunphy's Awkward Hand-Drawn Short Doc 'Brontosaurus'

"I've never felt so connected to someone in my life." These can be dangerous words! This strange, awkward animated short film is a very personal tale about a short-lived relationship. Brontosaurus is a short film made by filmmaker Jack Dunphy, and it first premiered last year at various festivals including True/False, Nashville, Philadelphia, and Cucalorus. "A tale of lust, eating disorders, crossing boundaries, and tiny toy dinosaurs." It's an intimate short doc featuring hand-drawn animation to tell a story of, uh, why you don't sleep with your assistant. Dunphy adds via IG: "It's been a long and winding road with this one, so I'm glad people are finally seeing it." While the style is a bit rough, and entirely unflattering, it goes right along the story and captures his depressed attitude. I hope he finishes his other film one day! In the meantime, this isn't the most uplifting short to watch but I still recommend it anyway just for all the creativity and honesty. ›››

Russell Crowe & Ray Winstone in Boxing Biopic 'Prizefighter' Trailer

"You gotta know who you are in life. It's you who decides what kind of man you're gonna be." Signature Ent. in the UK has revealed an official trailer for a boxing historical drama titled Prizefighter, arriving on Prime Video for streaming in the UK this July. At the turn of the 19th century, Pugilism was the sport of kings and a gifted young boxer fought his way to becoming champion of England. The film tells the true story of Jem Belcher, brought up by his grandfather (Crowe), a former boxer now struggling with addiction. He decides to work with a renowned trainer and fight his way to the top of England. This sounds a lot like every other boxing movie, with the big difference that it's set in the distant past, just barely in the 1800s. Matt Hookings (who also wrote the screenplay) stars as Jem, alongside Russell Crowe, Ray Winstone, Marton Csokas, Jodhi May, Julian Glover, Lucy Martin, Glen Fox, and Ricky Chaplin. This looks solid, but it does have that odd streaming sheen to it, and also seems a bit underlit. It's still worth a watch. ›››
