Sorry France, this Jerry Lewis clunker is le marde. My big Bro Mike Spiegelman and I review the film our mom would not let us see when it came out in the theater.

I recently watched a doc on Netflix about LA gangs. It was really good.
Netflix’s computerized system was right to assume I would want to watch other docs on gangs. I can see them thinking that would spill into docs about gangsters and people in jail.

But why would they think I would want to watch a beloved family sitcom based on watching “Crips and Bloods?” I don’t see the connection.
Other computer fails:
