What Happened Miss Simone is a documentary distributed as part of Netflix's early foray into original programming highlighting the storied career of Nina Simone, a classically trained pianist who became a singing sensation the world over. We examine, the impact of her mental illness on her music and life, the commercialization of her art, and laughable attempts to make a movie that did her no justice.

The Doctor

The Doctor is a television junkie, which goes well along with her tendency to be a hermit. She enjoys the good, bad, and ugly of all things television and movie related, purchasing Masters of The Universe for her personal collection just because she could. Based in the DMV, she enjoys writing, photography, and crushing the dreams of people who cape for terrible movies and shows. She reviews Supergirl, 12 Monkeys, Black Lightning, and Star Trek Discovery for the MTR Network along with hosting a Doctor Who Retrospective and a documentary review show called DocuDrunks.
