This review of the documentary in the New York Magazine surely takes the art of reviewing into the sphere of UtterBollox.

Here’s an excerpt of the bollox-speak to save you ploughing through.

“But Wrexham isn’t a work that documents in any meaningful sense. No matter what the production ironically or sincerely suggests itself to be (it’s never clear), it’s ultimately a God-tier piece of branded content — or, more specifically, a genuinely innovative spin on an unscripted reality show in the vein of The Kardashians. In a sense, Wrexham represents a perfection in the modern art of influencer reality-inversion, the bleeding out and spreading of kayfabe across the docuseries landscape like butter on bread”.

Is this how New Yorkers think? Anyway it’s yet more publicity I guess. And what is kayfabe?

Is it me or did I not understand any of that crap?

No such thing as bad publicity

Bleeding out and spreading across televisual landscapes? That sounds like a KPI smashed to be honest.

Up the God-tier reds!

It’s like a critics view of a film or book, just one person’s view.

The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and I think the increased support we are getting from around the world is good enough for me.
