Brothers Chapman and Maclain Way, the sons of screenwriter Rick Way, grandsons of actor Bing Russell, and nephews to Kurt Russell (that one you know), have some obvious Hollywood pedigree. They also have a Primetime Emmy for 2018’s “Wild Wild Country” and Sundance status for 2014’s “The Battered Bastards of Baseball,” both of which were distributed by Netflix.
With the Tuesday return of their best-in-genre sports-documentary series “Untold,” the guys also have a legitimate claim for Top Netflix brothers. Sorry, Duffers; and Joe and Anthony Russo, you had better make something really good out of that “Gray Man” universe.
“Untold: Volume 3” debuts with a doc about the rise of yet another pair of bothers, Jake Paul and Logan Paul. “The Problem Child,” directed by Andrew Renzi is Jake’s (pictured above) story.

MTV’s “Catfish” never had an episode with the drama that surrounded former Notre Dame football standout Manti Te’o, the Hawaiian-born linebacker infamously duped into believing his longtime girlfriend, whom he never met in person, died just ahead of the 2013 Bcs National Championship Game. It was a tabloid story that left many wanting the real truth, but it took Chapman and Maclain Way’s Netflix documentary series “Untold” to reveal it.
“It’s obviously been a white whale in the sports world,” Chapman told IndieWire of the Manti episode, “The Girlfriend Who Didn’t Exist.” The Ways, with directors Ryan Duffy and Tony Vainuku, captured a many-hours-long interview with the former linebacker (and many more hours with his catfisher). “He’s always been a hard ‘No, no, no, no, no, no.'”

Andy Roddick’s dad is probably a really decent guy — just maybe don’t live with him.
In the new installment of Netflix’s “Untold,” former pro tennis player Mardy Fish is wide open about his struggles with mental health. He also shares an amusing anecdote about the time he lived with The Roddicks.
Fish’s old pal, training partner and tennis rival Andy Roddick is featured throughout the excellent “Untold: Breaking Point.” Roddick respectfully explained the differences between Fish, who he described as a “laid-back beach kid,” and his own family.
Mr. Roddick, a military veteran, would wake Mardy up at 5 a.m. and insist that it was time to stretch, Fish recalled. Remember, this wasn’t just not Mr. Roddick’s son, it was a guest in his house. And that guest, like Andy, was a teenage boy.

Is the 'Vice' Visit to North Korea With Dennis Rodman Daring Journalism or a Self-Promotional Stunt?
"Are you journalists or are you entertainers?" a member of the audience demanded of Vice's Shane Smith and Ryan Duffy after an advance screening of "The Hermit Kingdom: Basketball Diplomacy," the already infamous final episode of the current first season of their HBO news magazine show. The half-hour installment, which airs tonight, June 14th, at 11pm, is entirely devoted to Vice's headline-getting coup from earlier this year, when the magazine/media company scored a visit to North Korea under the aegis of a "foreign sports exchange program" involving three members of the Harlem Globetrotters, an exhibition game and Dennis Rodman. The basketball player ended up spending time with Kim Jong-un, whose love of the Chicago Bulls was the reason behind the trip's approval, the former NBA star quite possibly becoming the first American to meet with Kim since he became the supreme leader of the Dprk following the...

HBO's "Real Time With Bill Maher" has long been a favorite with grown-ups bored by traditional newscasts. Now the network reinvents the newsmagazine with "Vice," a no-holds-barred weekly series for a tech-saturated generation. It premieres Friday, April 5.
Created by the international youth-oriented media conglomerate also named Vice and executive produced by Maher, "Vice" takes viewers on a harrowing, sometimes hilarious journey to the far corners of the globe in search of jaw-dropping tales untouched by mainstream news outlets.
"Eventually it became clear that the stories we did best, that we liked the best, involved this process we call immersionism -- a documentary style where we just go in and live with the people, press record and watch as the story unfolds," says Vice co-founder Shane Smith, who heads into the field with fellow correspondents Ryan Duffy and Thomas Morton to explore stories as wide-ranging as the Taliban's recruitment of children...
