The Gist: Mockumentary Send-up Of A&E
Free
The only thing better than A&E's Biography - with its endless rundown of the scandals and sorrows of the famous - is its cheeky online parody, Liebography.
Working with stock and found footage, as well as some wicked dubbing, Liebography presents 15-minute segments that are essentially enhanced profiles of its star subjects. Restraint is often checked at the door, as in the episodes that highlight the homoeroticism in John Wayne's classic horse operas, or "discover" that Jodie Foster was the real shooter in the Reagan assassination attempt.
The site features a new bio each month. Purists may be irritated by the low-res video and low-budget feel, not to mention the viewing delays caused by online congestion. But it's hard to resist the program's nose-tweaking antics, staccato one-liners, and edgy truth-twisting.
