The 2024 Little Richard documentary, I Am Everything, is currently streaming on C4 in the UK. Ignore the usual talking heads who appear at the start as this is excellent. Particularly good on the "queer" subculture of the American South. youtu.be/4YC8WUrWtZY?...

Little Richard: I Am Everything - Official Trailer | Documentary by Lisa Cortés | Opens April 21

Remember when David Foster Wallace named his ten favorite books and everyone assumed he was joking because they were mostly genre fiction?
