The Palindromists (2020)

I do enjoy a good geeky themed documentary, see The King of Kong or Spellbound. Even though I feel palindromes are a slicker cousin of anagrams, I thought this would be more fun than it is. I most enjoyed the interview bits with Danica McKellar and Weird Al and the various palindromists discussing how they come up with their reactions. The actual competition is kind of boring. Most of the actual palindroming is done in private and is a mental exercise. It’s still all quirky enough that I don’t totally regret the watch. If nothing else, I can no weigh in on the pa LIN dromists versus palin DRO mists pronunciation controversy.
