AFI DECLARES "SOMEBODY FEED PHIL" SEASON 3, GREATEST DOCUMENTARY IN HISTORY
/In 332 B.C., Aristotle Kazan, the ancient world’s preeminent filmmaker, released “The Siege Of Tyre“ universally considered the greatest documentary in all of history. The 69-hour film includes the only surviving interview with Alexander the Great as well as actual footage of the 7-month battle for control of the ancient port city of Tyre, located in what is now Southern Lebanon.
Beginning in 1927 when documentaries were first rated, the violently intense - if primitively shot - film has always been ranked #1 by a wide variety of organizations including the AFI, the American Film Institute.
Until today.
Friday morning, the AFI made the shocking announcement that the newly released Season 3 of ‘Somebody Feed Phil’, on Netflix had surpassed Alexander’s exploits in Tyre and was now rated the best documentary of all time.
The AFI released the following statement today, “In light of the current situation which defies not only gravity but a proper superlative to describe it, the AFI has named Somebody Feed Phil. Season Three as its greatest documentary of all time>”
The show. already known on the - empty - streets as “Three”, as in “Have you seen Three?” showcases the exploits of Phil Rosenthal, a tallish whitish guy obsessed with eating well. He travels to, among other places, Marrakesh, Montreal. Chicago, Seoul, Buenos Aires, Venice and Dublin.
Yes, most people are - and should - stay home. But, with Phil as your host, grab a chair and a drink and check out “Three” and let your mind and your taste buds wander around our old crazy, wondrous friend, the planet Earth.
