I Discuss Arnold

It is in fact the 3 hour documentary that just dropped days ago on Netflix: 

Yes, a three hour plus documentary on Arnold Schwarzenegger is something I would devour. Like many, I've enjoyed Arnold since I was a kid and have seen a decent amount of his films. I knew part of his life story but it was great to hear it all from the man himself.

Naturally divided into three different episodes based on era (his childhood and his bodybuilding life, his acting career, his turn towards politics then what he's done in the past decade), Arnold himself tells his life story and proved that his incredible determination, refusal to quit and his unquenchable desire to conquer new fields and climb new mountains was why he's had quite the amazing life at a worldwide celebrity for decades; this is augmented by stock footage and interviews w/ a wide variety of people... including DAVID CAMERON for a minute! That was unexpected.

Yet this doesn't shy away from Schwarzenegger's faults; this includes his infamous “girlie-men” comment, his bad behavior from the past that would get him canceled now, and even his cheating on Maria Shriver w/ their housekeeper, resulting in the birth of a son. Arnold does apologize and deeply regrets all those errors. It even addresses the rough life he had growing up in Austria due to his abusive father; this had plenty of candor. For those that at least like Arnold, this is well worth a 3 hour investment of your time.
