What to watch this weekend starts with Morgan Freeman narrating a visually stunning dinosaur documentary on Netflix called The Dinosaurs. Ryan O’Donnell has confirmed he would listen to Morgan Freeman narrate essentially anything, which is a reasonable position to hold, and this one is actually great.

The Murdochs is the other recommendation and it is a different kind of prehistoric creature entirely. A documentary about Rupert Murdoch’s parenting, his tabloids, the illegal activities that shut some of them down, and the children he pitted against each other until they were negotiating payouts in the billions. One of them accepted 3.1 billion because 2 billion was not enough. The documentary explains how a family arrives at that sentence and it explains a great deal about Fox News in the process.

Born to Bowl on HBO rounds it out. There is a moment involving a yellow shirt, a crowd heckler, and a comeback that Ryan O’Donnell calls the greatest thing that has ever happened in professional sports.
