Untold: Chess Mates is a documentary film releasing on April 7, 2026. #whatonwhatgood Express Review by: Jovin Tardif I watched this documentary and really enjoyed it. It tells the story of Magnus Carlsen, one of the greatest chess players of all time, and Hans Niemann, a young, rising chess star who became famous online. The film shows how Niemann surprised the chess world by beating Carlsen at the 2022 Sinquefield Cup, sparking widespread controversy and accusations of cheating.  After that, Niemann worked hard to rebuild his reputation and return to top-level chess, paving the way for a rematch with Carlsen in 2024.  The real question is: did he actually cheat? Tune in to the documentary and let me know what you think.

Untold: Jail Blazers - Release April 14th, 2026

Untold: Jail Blazers Release April 14th, 2026 I watched the documentary, and it really made me think. I kept wondering if the NBA players were actually as bad as people said, or if the media made them look worse than they were. Some players did have real problems off the court. Rasheed Wallace sometimes got into trouble, and Damon Stoudamire also had issues, including marijuana charges. That’s why the team got the nickname “Jail Blazers” during the late 1990s and early 2000s. The name came from a lot of off-court problems like drug possession, legal issues, and heated moments with referees. There were serious incidents, too. Ruben Patterson pleaded guilty to attempted rape in 2001, and Qyntel Woods was involved in an animal abuse case. There were also problems inside the team. At one point in practice, Zach Randolph punched Ruben Patterson and broke his eye socket. The team was very good, but there was a lot of fighting and problems with control. Even with all this, they were a strong ...

Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom - Release March 31, 2026 #whatonwhatsgood Express Review by Jovin Tardif I thought this was an interesting documentary about Lamar Odom and his life. Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom is releasing in Canada on March 31, 2026. It is about what happened in 2015 when Lamar Odom was found unresponsive at a brothel near Las Vegas. The documentary shares new information, personal stories, and interviews with Lamar Odom, Khloé Kardashian, and others close to him. It goes back to that night and explains the struggles and pressure he was facing. Lamar Odom had a complicated past and wanted to be famous. The film makes you think about the choices he made and whether they led him in the right direction. It also shows how his addictions caused him a lot of trouble in his life. Overall, I thought it was an eye-opening documentary that shows both the highs and lows of his life.
