Screwball (2018)

The details of Major League Baseball’s Biogenesis doping scandal are told through interviews with some of its biggest non-athlete participants and reenactments of notable events. Delving deeply into full-blown Florida Man craziness on all fronts, the lunacy of the story is greatly benefited by the choice to hire only child actors to perform in the reenactments. I was certainly aware of the story as it happened, but I wasn’t prepared for the ridiculousness of the details and the stupidity of many of those involved. The documentary relies a bit heavily on being able to believe people who have tentative grasp on the truth, but it’s entertaining nonetheless.
