‘Documentary Now’ Season 3, Episode 7: “Any Given Saturday Afternoon”
If you loved the third season of Netflix’s absurd wonderland of comedy known as I Think You Should Leave, Documentary Now’s sensational offering “Any Given Saturday Afternoon” is for you. Written by ITYSL creators Zach Kanin and Tim Robinson, this pitch-perfect parody of the 2006 documentary A League of Ordinary Gentlemen (which is streaming for free on Tubi) centers on a revitalized bowling league as three former champions (played by Robinson, Michael C. Hall, and Bobby Moynihan) try to recapture their glory days. The third season of Documentary Now! is remembered for “Original Cast Album: Co-Op” (a classic episode), but fans of Robinson’s distinct brand of offbeat humor will enjoy “Any Given Saturday Afternoon.”
