Reply to comment by ghostmrchicken in Fyre (2019) The infamous rock festival conceived by an overly ambitious egotistical entrepreneur (CC) [01:25:28] by ghostmrchicken

This picture was produced by Fuck Jerry Media, which is never disclosed in the film. It downplays the role that Fuck Jerry had in the failed Fyre Festival, and paints the company's actions in a positive light.

Hulu produced a competing documentary called Fyre Fraud that was not produced by Fuck Jerry

They're great companion pieces to each other.

It was pretty wild that they released pretty much simultaneously, and both have a unique perspective that adds to the story. I watched them back to back while sick at home with the flu and it was a little comforting to watch all these people having a worse time than I was at the time.

Agreed. I feel like Netflix’s talks about where things went wrong from an event planning standpoint, while Hulu’s did it from a cultural standpoint.

Yes! I think are necessary to understand the clusterfuck that was Fyre as they both emphasize different aspects. It's also a good exercise in comparative film study.

Yeah the Netflix doc seemed to seek to entirely absolve Fuck Jerry in the mess.

The Hulu doc introduces Fuck Jerry's position nicely for the unfamiliar.

Who the hell named their company Fuck Jerry? Jerry himself, Jerry’s ex-wife?

Idk about dirty, but he turned himself into a pickle once. Funniest shit I’ve ever seen.
