I need to look at that Miles doc
Is the Q doc the one that has Rashida and her sister in it?

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The bit I watched made mention of the fame and the women, but honestly - I'm interested in the man and the music

Why? What has he done that should cause her to paint him differently?
If we’re bashing Rashida, her puritanical anti-porn views are surely more deserving fodder
well this is kind of where my initial criticism originates: If she's gonna make a whole doc about shaming girls who do porn, shouldn't she also be critical of her dad's womanizing?
Not really the same thing though - Quincey just oozed sex.....unless he filmed his escapades, then it's more the same thing

I don’t think the two are related. I would say she shouldn’t be shaming anybody.
That said, I just looked up some articles from the last few years and it seems she’s softened on the issue a bit. I still generally disagree with her about it but she doesn’t seem to be as aggressive and ignorant as she used to be when she first started publicly engaging about this stuff. Now she just sounds old and out of touch like Bill Maher.

I tried watching that Q doc. I just didn’t feel it did a good job keeping my interest. I remember being very bored watching it and may not have finished it. Q seemed old and feeble and out of it the whole time.
I don’t remember if this is where he spilled the beans on Richard Pryor and Brando fucking.

Haven't gotten far enough through to say either way - work got in the way
I'm a bit behind on this, but I started watching the docuseries Ugly Delicious. It seems like most of the show is centered around him promoting his friend's restaurants, which is fine. I do enjoy the origin story aspects of the foods that are featured, and the origin stories of the chefs and their restaurants.
I watched Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner before UD, and I think I enjoy UD more.
Does anyone else watch UD? Thoughts?
