Holy Schnikeys! A friend told me about this documentary last week.
Basically, it's an exploration of a practice in the South - diving underwater and sticking your hands into holes with the hope that a huge-ass catfish will bite it and you can surface with a trophy prize. The problem is that there are lots of snakes in the holes too. People get bitten, die, drown. Sounds like great fun. I'll have to go see if Scarecrow has a copy since Netflix does not.

2 FaversViewed: 14 TimesQuoted: Where would we be without children’s movies? They provide us college students with blissful hours of nostalgia-fueled discussions about which Disney princess was hottest or which McDonalds tie-in toy we most enjoyed. Something often forgotten by people our age is the service they provide to parents; plop your kids in front of their favorite movie and that should shut them up for an hour and a half. But what about those movies that go too far—that advertise themselves as family-friendly romps or a short time of silence for weary parents but end up causing crippling emotional damage through their inappropriate themes and horrific visuals?
