Bill Hader and Fred Armisen's long-running, film-nerd in-joke 'Documentary Now!' returns tonight with a new season of doc parodies, celebrity cameos, a no-prisoners takedown of a recent mollusk-themed Oscar winner, and one masterpiece episode. Our review
does a better-than-average version of a Herzog accent that’s almost become a self-caricature of Teutonic sternness. Keen viewers will notice that its behind-the-scenes look at an out-of-control production resembles Les Blank’s; the appearance of an insane, wide-eyed actor played by August Diehl instantly brings to mindBut they’ve also thrown in the fact that this Werner avatar is making a CBS sitcom in the middle of a Russian no-man’s-land.
The rest of the season’s episodes stick to this notion of spot-on parody plus one incongruous element or unlikely environment. “How They Threw Rocks” takes an epic sports-victory flashback a laand transposes it onto a 1974 championship match involving two Welshmen throwing rocks at each other until the other drops.
