First, let's talk about true crime documentaries. They've got this weird pull, like a magnet. Everyone's seen them, right? They all follow the same rules. It's like a game where you know the moves. They show old footage of kids playing, or use the same opening credits. It's like a pattern that everyone follows.

There's this guy, Shackleton. He decided to have some fun with this genre. He noticed that these docs are so predictable, it's like you could just copy and paste stuff in and it would work. He even admits that he'd probably use some tricks to make things more dramatic. Like showing something that hints at more than it says. He says he likes this idea of the truth, but he would make it bigger.

     He also criticized how some of these documentaries mess with the truth. He's got some serious issues with that. He says some big names like "The Jinx, " "Making a Murderer, " and the "Paradise Lost" films. For example, he doesn't like the way "The Jeffrey Dahmer Netflix Show" centers the victims. It is like these shows spend hours talking about how bad the killer is, but then they say they focus on the victims. This is a bit of a contradiction, don't you think?

So, he made a movie that pokes fun at all these things. He laughs at the rules and the tricks, but he does it in a nice way. It's like he's saying, "Hey, I see what you're doing, and it's okay, but let's shake things up a bit. "

Hey, if you are interested in these types of documentaries, you might like the ways he shifts focus as he pokes fun at the typical elements.  He makes the whole thing more interesting by making fun of the typical elements. You'll probably get a kick out of it. It's like watching a behind-the-scenes look at how these shows are made, but with a twist. It is clear that he wants to make a difference.
