I love the way that Louie Theroux is not afraid to be quiet. Most people are afraid of silence between people and will keep talking and saying anything to fill in the gaps.

I have never had so many mixed emotions about a single person. Take that however you want I suppose. Lol

[@GreifvogelSGE]

Same, so much. I don't agree with his treatment of the animals etc., but I do believe that he believes he's doing right by the animals. He's also such a weird and lovable character. The doc made me feel so conflicted. Everyone's a bad guy basically

[@Dekerus]

@@GreifvogelSGE I mean..... free Joe Exotic?? 😕 lol

[@wheelmanstan]

We like people that show us what it means to be an American with how they express their freedom in the doc. The doc also shows him as a person with depth and we're not used to seeing that with people on tv. Usually it's black and white, bad guy or good guy. Well he's both, like most people. His life's story has the tragedy needed and his life is exciting because a tiger could rip him apart at any moment or maybe he blows himself up or gets shot or overdoses or gets arrested or beat up...ya never know. I think we all know characters like this. Their life's probably a mess but they're characters with a lot of stories to tell. These people don't usually live long, but Joe did..and this is the product. haha Countries all over are watching this damn documentary with jaws to the floor. I mean what they see is something only America can produce. The wild west still exists!

[@quntface1518]

The 'We had two of them hang themselves" is out of context. That wasn't a normal tour, it was a safety seminar on owning exotic animals. He was advising against getting a particular type of baby blanket for smaller apes, because they have ribbons on them that can get hooked on a cage and they can ACCIDENTALLY hang themselves. Joe is nuts, but the monkeys weren't committing suicide over being caged or anything like that.

[@popycute13]

Then he makes it sound easy to own an exotic animal; like a piece of advice that is giving to a Petsmart's customer but in Joe's world.

[@supachazman89]

Theroux’s best move is the “look”. This is where the subject of the documentary says something. The camera then just pans to Louis who doesn’t say anything at all, just looks, and the camera shot pauses for about 5 seconds.

[@RobWitchdoctor]

Very true, others have tried but no one else has been able to reproduce "the look". Mind you Eric Zoolander has a mean 'Blue Steel' look. Louis's other move is to have to ego or aggression in him while doing these documentaries. Always cool, calm and relaxed, which is a difficult thing to do in a lot of these weird situations he puts himself in.

[@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive]

Greig91 Justin Theroux is a master at getting his subjects to spill the beans. Another tactic is to ask short, simple, leading questions. Notice no matter how crazy or despicable his interviewee is, he never gets combative and goes on long rants sharing his opinions. (The closest he got was when he interviewed the white supremacist parents who were trying to market their twin girls as the Nazi Olsen Twins and lost it when their little girls made a swastika on the floor like it was a cute and innocent act full of smiles and the mother reacted proudly and full of encouragement.) Theroux never hangs his subjects, he just gives them a rope and they hang themselves.

[@misspollysdolly]

I wonder if Louis or Jim started that look

[@williamdraken6018]

Often times it is edited though. The camera pans to Louis WHILE the other person is speaking. The person's voice is simply edited out while music or muted silence plays over, to create the perception that there is an awkward silence. Clever, but not entirely honest.

[@deangoldbary1444]

Duh!

“Can you miss something you’ve never experienced“. Damn. Cruel.

[@Theeebear93]

Justin G he isn't wrong tho, it was the principal. He tried explaining it to make people understand, but obviously people are short minded, it's easy to think inside of the box when you need to think outside of the box, outside of the box when you need to think inside of the box. Would you rather have someone else eutanize your animals and potentially abuse them doing so, or simply doing it yourself, knowingly knowing that PETA would have done it either way, or risk another "roadside zoo" to mistreat something you raised? You can't miss something you never experienced but you can always dream about it, but then again better to live the way you want to than dreaming too become or to do something/someone you'll never be or be able to. Everyone is unique and that is what makes us humans after all.

As we know Tiger Kings is based on the people/ characters. It dips into the welfare side slightly- Ofc not showing that side is what made the documentary enjoyable to watch. We all know in back of minds what’s going on. But I think people wouldn’t have been able to watch it if too much animal abuse was shown . But there’s a lot of vile things joe exotic has done - and should be highlighted somewhere but most of that footage was destroyed funnily enough ☹️ this Louis clip showed that side a bit.

[@Jonathan-pg2hd]

It’s sad either way because the animals are losing. Shorter lifespan in the wild due to poachers killing them and humans destroying there homes so less chance of breeding the bigger chance of going extinct, or put them in cages where the will live an extra 10 years and breed but will also have a terrible life depressed locked up in a cage and possible mistreated by there owners - both options seem terrible.

Andrew James apart from the fact that your average house pet wouldn’t survive in the wild and is supposed to be a house pet whereas a tiger is supposed to be in the wild not as a pet to humans.

He didn't euthanize them in the end when Jeff Lowe took over. he just wanted to keep Carole from getting them

[@Franklechi]

He didn't give them to Jeff Lowe to save the animals, Jeff Lowe scammed him into signing the zoo over

[@aquariusvibe7851]

Yea Jeff Lowe is a straight up con artist, swindled him outta the zoo then set him up for the murder for hire thing to get rid of him.

[@chrisd5598]

Everyone wants to defend this guy. Its like he cant do anything wrong. Abuse animals, threaten peoples lives, actually hire someone to kill another person, sell expired Walmart meat pizza to the public....etc. i guess rooting for him is just the "cool" thing to do. Im just glad these people rooting for him arent the same people in charge of this world.

[@Tiny15891]

This really shows a side of him the netflix doc doesnt. Louis has a talent for placing himself as a neutral observer between his subjects and himself. He sets aside his judgements without ignoring them to create a relationship between himself and his subject. That allowed for an unusually contentious bond due to a mutual respect and fundamental disagreement

[@Aminstrater]

He did himself a disservice with that analogy since it doesn't apply to the tigers. It would only apply if the tigers could see other tigers roaming freely, or if the wheelchair-bound person never knew legs were for walking/everyone is wheelchair-bound.

[@Sarahonwheels]

@@kevinraybanks3071 no i don't find his practices fascinating. I actually thought that his comment was stupid, that he was so detached from reality that he couldn't tell that the comment was stupid, this is what I meant by fascinating. If I could be ambulatory right now, I would adopt a tiger too and run a cat Cafe because cats are my favorite.

I could definietly see Joe Exotic as a season-long character, where Kyle get's suckered into Carol Baskin's side, while Cartman joins Joe for a get-rich-quick scheme. Later on it's revealed that one of Joe's tigers has the antibodies for Covid-19 - depicted as a 28 days-style rage virus - and Carol's dead/missing husband is the only person who can cure it...

[@chaseitdown]

Aaron W. Nichols hilarious dude! I can see cartman actually playing as “jeff lowe” and making joe do outrageous things to keep his park. But the possibility is endless!
