Secrets in the Sky: The Untold Story of Skunk Works (2019)
If they'd just removed this idiot

Annie Jacobsen is one of the "historians" in this documentary and she strikes me as a moron. She describes the Skunk Works team as a "bunch of nerds" and describes stealth aircraft as "invisible airplanes." Her characterization of this complex and nuanced time in US aviation history was both reductive and annoying to listen to. She sounded like she was trying to teach something she didn't understand to a kindergarten classroom. Why did the producers cast someone so clueless to speak on this subject?
The rest of the documentary was really brilliant stuff. But I was repeatedly annoyed by the dim-witted narration by Jacobsen.
