They Did What?! Breaking Down Wild Documentaries & Docuseries

In this episode, Kelsey and Gen, along with guest host, Guy, discuss Untold: The Girlfriend Who Didn’t Exist, released on Netflix in 2022 and directed by Ryan Duffy and Tony Vainuku, tells the story of Manti Te’o, a Notre Dame football star whose rise to national fame became tangled up in one of the most bizarre catfishing scandals in sports history.  In 2012, during his senior season, Manti lost his grandmother and his girlfriend within hours of each other. Instead of crumbling, he dedicated his season to them, the sports world rallied behind him, and he helped carry Notre Dame to the national championship while finishing as a Heisman finalist.  Then in January 2013, it was revealed that Manti’s girlfriend never existed. Cue media speculation about his involvement, what he knew, and even his sexuality. What started as a heartfelt story about love and loss quickly unraveled into something much stranger, raising questions about identity, media narratives, and how easily a lie can take on a life of its own.

In this episode, Kelsey and Gen dump on the fecal fueled fiasco highlighted in Netflix’s Trainwreck: Poop Cruise, a documentary about the Carnival Triumph cruise where an engine room fire stranded more than 4,0000 passengers and crew members in the Gulf of Mexico for days without power, working toilets, or proper food. It highlights the sanitary nightmare, passenger panic, and chaotic conditions. This one is not for the fart of heart.

In this episode, Kelsey and Gen discuss The Devil Is Busy, a documentary short directed by Geeta Gandbhir and Christalyn Hampton, released on HBO Max in 2025. Since its release it's been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Film. The film follows a single day inside an abortion clinic in Atlanta, Georgia, centering on Tracii, the clinic’s head of security, as she navigates tensions inside and outside the clinic and works to keep both staff and visitors safe during a typical workday.

In this episode, Kelsey and Gen discuss the Netflix 2026 documentary Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart that revisits the 2002 abduction of Elizabeth Smart from her home in Salt Lake City and the nine months she spent in captivity before being recovered alive. Drawing on Elizabeth’s accounts, new interviews, news coverage from the time, and law-enforcement records, the documentary examines how the case quickly became a national media story and how early assumptions shaped both public perception and investigative priorities.  Kidnapped: Elizabeth Smart details a series of misjudgments by law enforcement and focuses on the efforts and experiences of Elizabeth’s family, who continued to push the search forward when progress stalled. Rather than retelling the crime itself, the documentary examines how the case was handled, how it was reported, and how those choices affected both the investigation and the public response.   Next up: We're covering The Devil is Busy, streaming on HBO Max.

Kelsey and Gen have gone fully rogue — no documentary this week, just pure Olympic chaos. From a wolf dog crashing the cross-country course to record-breaking medal counts, overtime hockey heartbreak (and triumph), Michaela Shiffrin’s redemption arc, and Alysa Liu’s joyful return to the top of figure skating, this is our wrap-up of Milano-Cortina 2026.

This week, Qualified gives Kelsey and Gen the perfect excuse to talk Winter Olympics. The short doc follows eight women battling for four spots on the 2026 U.S. Olympic moguls team, offering a quick but compelling look at camaraderie, pressure, and what it takes to qualify for the biggest stage in winter sports. From there? All bets are off. They unpack Milano Cortina’s biggest moments so far: surprise podiums, comeback crashes, lots of medals, snow art, curling controversy, and of course THAT post-race interview.

In this episode, Kelsey and Gen get dark and personal discussing Surviving Ohio State, the HBO Max documentary directed by Eva Orner, in conjunction with writer/producer Jon Wertheim, writer of the 2020 Sports Illustrated article that this documentary is based on. Surviving Ohio State looks at the decades-long abuse scandal surrounding Ohio State University and team doctor Richard Strauss, and the athletes who were ignored when they tried to speak up. Through survivor testimony, investigative reporting, and institutional records, the documentary traces how complaints were buried, reputations were protected, and harm was allowed to continue.

Kelsey and Gen discuss Predators, directed by David Osit, released December 8th 2025 on Paramount+, as a product of MTV Entertainment, and revisits the cultural phenomenon of To Catch a Predator, the early-2000s Dateline NBC series that set out to publicly expose men seeking sexual contact with minors online. Using archival footage, behind-the-scenes material, and interviews with people involved on all sides, including Chris Hansen himself, Predators poses questions about accountability, spectacle, and the human cost of turning crime into content.

Kelsey and Gen discuss Long Shot, released in 2017 and directed by Jacob LaMendola, tells the story of Juan Catalan, a Los Angeles man wrongfully accused of murder and facing a possible life sentence for a crime he did not commit. His salvation ultimately comes from a rather unexpected source: background footage captured during the filming of the HBO show Curb Your Enthusiasm. The documentary walks through how easily Catalan is swept into the criminal justice system, how thin the evidence against him actually is, and how close he comes to being convicted before a fluke of timing, geography, and television production intervenes, raising uncomfortable question about how much luck is involved in proving our innocence on any given day.

Kelsey and Gen take on HBO’s The Alabama Solution, a documentary that drags the Alabama prison system out of the shadows and into full, brutal light. Through hidden cell-phone footage, inmate testimonies, and interviews captured at enormous personal risk, the film exposes violence, corruption, and conditions that defy any notion of rehabilitation. They break down the men who spoke up, the failures of the system around them, and the human cost the state would rather you never see, but it’s impossible to unsee once you have.

Hosts Kelsey and Gen kick off They Did What?! with Netflix’s Unknown Number: A High School Catfish, a documentary about a small-town mystery that starts with a few strange texts and spirals into something much darker. Joined by guest host Jason, they dive into parenting in the digital age, the ethics of true-crime storytelling, and why we can’t look away from people who do the unthinkable.
