i just can't wrap my head around how this was recorded 'in real time'?

I’m pretty sure I saw one of Joe Exotics billboards driving up from Dallas to KC for a Chiefs game. You tend to forget about it because Oklahoma has all kinds of billboards for tacky roadside attractions.

I questioned how they were able to show footage from before the arson if everything was destroyed. Then it shows where his current husband went and was getting everything out of the storage facility. We at least know he was guilty of the arson. The question would be if he intended to burn the alligators along with it, or if he was just stupid and used too much accelerant. If he truly loved animals, I would say the latter, but I'm not convinced he truly loved animals.

If you see the clip at the end from when he first started, I think he did and then he got overcome with the money and rivalry and lost sight of what was important.

Actually the clip of him when he was starting out talking about how people shouldn't breed them and they should be in their natural habitats was pretty heart breaking when you see what he became.

I think it was once Rick approached him about the documentary idea. There was a scene where they took cubs away from the mommas at birth and he was bitching about their mewing all night and keeping him awake. That's when I knew for sure that he didn't give two shits anymore.

I believe that was in 2015, and they started filming at least a year or two before that? NOt 100% sure when filming for this started?

I believe the filmakers originally intended to make a different documentary and the thing just evolved over time. They got lucky with the tacky soap opera aspect of it which the general public has latched on to.

They told Carol that they intended to make a "blackfish" type of doc for the exotic animal biz.

Not sure if true, or if that was their way of luring her in to talk so much?
