The History Of Concrete is one of the all time great 'internet rabbit holes' (see also: David Farrier's Tickled) turned into a documentary feature. After dealing with the headache of a leak in the ground floor of his apartment building, John Wilson (HBO's How To With John Wilson) goes on a New York City odyssey to understand the equal parts bland and fascinating history of one of the most ubiquitous man-made substances on earth. Tangents abound: from Hallmark movie minutiae, tequila hawking indie musicians, the Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race which laps for days and days around a high school in Queens, to on-set visits of Josh Safdie's Marty Supreme on location shoot, and being a guest at Kim Kardashian's award's dinner (sitting opposite Tim Robinson)....

Mon, 03 Aug 2026 20:30:00 -0500

Jim Queen (and the Quest for Chloroqueer) is a laugh-a-minute riot where the jokes come hard, come fast, and come often. And yes, the pun is totally intended.
