Brett Whitcomb directs Mountain Fiji, Matilda the Hun and Little Egypt in this documentary revisiting the surprise hit Eighties sports phenomenon.
Diverting more as the obvious inspiration for the brilliant new Netflix show with Alison Brie and Marc Maron than as a piece of quality filmmaking in its own right. The permitted content is colourful but limited and the manipulation to form the standard exposé narrative and emotional arc are blatant. As a DVD extra for the new show or a fan friendly celebration of the nostalgic original it is watchable enough.
