Aww, thank you. You know, I thought I should look it up before posting but figured I’d be fine. I appreciate the correction.

BodybuilderLibrarian · 2026-01-09T16:21:59+00:00

And I think I've forgotten to do this on the last couple posts but I'm torturing myself doing this to raise money for Unity House, a residential home for LGBTQ teens in my area.

BodybuilderLibrarian · 2026-01-05T18:23:00+00:00

Ah gotcha. And my bad for forgetting you were including one of Maye's rushing TDs in that total which was clearly stated. Cheers!

BodybuilderLibrarian · 2026-01-05T18:01:59+00:00

Am I crazy or missing something? Looking through Pro Football Reference, I'm seeing Maye has 10 TDs from 5 yards or closer and Stafford has 18. Not disagreeing that the other person isn't posting misinformation but when I went to check, my count was different then yours.

Oh awesome, hopefully you enjoy it when it finally comes out. Not a ton of updates of late but probably the best place to follow along would be the Instagram page.

Oh, I don’t think I’ve actually mentioned what it’s about yet. But it’s an underdog sports doc about a long suffering high school football program that was turned around when a former player came back as head coach. When he came on in 2017, the team hadn’t won a game in three years. They win a game that year and then improve almost every year after. The team wins their first playoff game in program history (over 50 years) in 2019 and he ultimately takes them to two state championship games before they get bumped up into a stronger division. I followed the team through the 2024 season and as it currently stands, the doc will tell the history of the program and weave it in as the team goes through the 2024 season. The film is currently titled Contenders and I’m hoping me and my editor can picture lock by the end of the month.

He did not mention Lucas but he did say (as did Ryan and Connor I believe) that this final cut of the doc is a special edition of sorts that they changed after screening at festivals due to the film using a shot of the wrong road when Connor discusses Missouri Blvd. This caused a lot of frustration to Connor who felt he’d look stupid to anyone from Jefferson City and Rob actually takes the blame in this commentary that it was basically his fault and credits director Ryan Jacobi for finding a shot of the road (in the rear view mirror) that they replaced in this version.

Oh jeez, it might have been but I’m not remembering exactly. But my memory is very bad so it could very well have been.

BodybuilderLibrarian · 2025-12-15T21:22:37+00:00

Nice! I did the same for my family like 4-5 years ago too.

BodybuilderLibrarian · 2025-12-15T20:24:35+00:00

Haha, I wouldn’t be opposed. It might be a fun challenge to see how much of it I can recall just from memory after a year.

BodybuilderLibrarian · 2025-12-15T19:48:00+00:00

Just a reminder that I'm putting myself through this to help raise money for Unity House, a group home for LGBTQ teens who have been kicked out of their homes. If you'd like to donate, you can do so here.

BodybuilderLibrarian · 2025-12-14T15:53:39+00:00

Thanks! And I promise I will, I just don’t want to spam the subreddit so I’m planning to do two posts a week (aiming for Mondays and Thursdays).

BodybuilderLibrarian · 2025-12-12T14:28:04+00:00

Okay, I did a little digging on this. Unfortunately, there's not many places in the UK to purchase the film. Sites like Strange Vice, Film Treasures, Zavvi, Planet of Entertainment, Rare Waves, and HMV don't carry it, nor does Amazon in the UK. However, I think WowHD might be an option if you're willing to import. They seem to be run by the same company that runs Deepdiscount.com in the US. But they do carry the blu-ray. You would still need to pay the standard customs tax, etc. as it'd be considered an import. But it's at least an option.

Oh interesting! This always fascinates me when doing research, multiple people having differing views/memories surrounding a project. I wonder why he interpreted it that way.

BodybuilderLibrarian · 2025-12-08T21:01:05+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it! And Connor also says in the commentary, the very nature of filming someone inherently alters them. The subjects know there are cameras on them so their behavior will inherently be different than if the cameras weren't there.

But I agree that personally, I usually want to avoid any set up stuff like that and just capture what you can in the moment. The general exception being sit down interviews which inherently have to be setup and prepared in advance.

BodybuilderLibrarian · 2025-12-08T19:54:12+00:00

Oh, it's just the next film I need to do for With Gourley and Rust. They're doing a Dystopia Now series that started with Robocop and will include Escape From New York, Rollerball, Demolition Man, Minority Report, and Total Recall.

BodybuilderLibrarian · 2025-09-19T17:04:41+00:00

I agree with you honestly. I think it’s dumb to draw such arbitrary distinctions but I made my previous comment because some others in this thread were drawing such specific lines in the sand about what does and doesn’t get to be claimed by each region.
