    Get your VPNs ready: A new documentary explains what dad did upstairs

    Don’t Come Upstairs has been showing up across a lot of social media feeds lately. Whether that exposure has been paid for by the documentary’s marketing team or is happening organically isn’t entirely clear, but the film itself has been made to look compelling and very watchable.


    The documentary is centered around a deeply buried family secret that is gradually uncovered by filmmaker Mike Lobel. Through interviews, archival footage, and personal reflection, a long-standing mystery is explored — one that had reportedly been kept hidden for decades. Themes of silence, confrontation, and the emotional weight of unspoken truths are woven throughout the film’s structure.

    Don’t Come Upstairs is a 2025 documentary directed by Mike Lobel and commissioned by CBC in Canada. The film runs just under an hour and has been made available through CBC Gem, the network’s streaming platform. At the time of writing, availability appears to be primarily in Canada, though clips and promotional material have circulated online, contributing to its recent visibility around the planet…


    While it is categorized as a documentary, an unsettling tone is said to linger beneath the surface. The title alone suggests tension, and from the footage that has been shared publicly, an atmosphere of unease appears to have been intentionally crafted. The subject matter seems to blur genre lines, protruding slightly into psychological territory, family drama, and even something adjacent to true-life thriller.


    With a blizzard reportedly on the horizon across parts of the East Coast, at least at the time this post is being written, a window of quiet viewing time may soon be available. Films like this tend to benefit from that kind of stillness.


    So perhaps it should be watched collectively– but don’t be deceived by the links the “full movie” on YouTube.. As mentioned before.. Non Canadians may have a hard time finding this one.

    You will need a VPN..

    It’s a LOT to do for a documentary but maybe worth it?

  • Cutting down the Happy Trees

    Cutting down the Happy Trees

    A new Netflix documentary said to hit August 25 pretends to show a darker life in the forest, as the happy trees get knocked down. The doc will focus on the life of Bob Ross, and while the trailer and the network offer a very little clues as to the subject matter, pretends to portray a “darker” backstory to the famous painter..

    The documentary will likely explore the fate of Bob Ross, Inc., which is now run by the daughter of Annette and Walt Kowalski, Ross’ former business partners, according to The Daily Beast.

    Although Ross left the rights to his name and likeness to his son Steve and half-brother Jimmie Cox, the Kowalskis argued that everything Ross did in his career was work-for-hire, and he had no right to bequeath that.

    The Kowalskis eventually won the lawsuit..

    Although the trailer doesn’t offer any other clues, Netflix’s description of the documentary reads: “Bob Ross brought joy to millions as the world’s most famous art instructor. But a battle for his business empire cast a shadow over his happy trees.”

    There have been some monumentally huge journalistic reports over the past 10 years on the infighting post death. Ross died back in the 1990s of lymphoma at 52. His legend however has lived on forever because of PBS painting shows that aired through the early 2000s, and a resurgence of pop cultural memorabilia and products that generation Z has eaten up because of an addiction to anything ASMR..

    Will this documentary ruin it all?

    The joy of painting will continue for me..

    It’s my own products to prove it:
