American sportswriter and video producer Jon Bois has established himself as a cross between Adam Curtis and Ken Burns among YouTubers. While Bois’s style may seem terminally boring—his nonfiction projects utilize simple charts, graphs, and visualized timelines to build a labyrinthine collage as he narrates, accompanied by perfectly generic library music (courtesy of old commercial labels such as KPM)—he somehow makes this wonky aesthetic deeply compelling in a cinematic fashion. While most of his subjects are sports-related, such as 2018’s five-part M.M.A. examination Fighting in the Age of Loneliness or 2020’s nearly four-hour-long epic The History of the Seattle Mariners, his most recent series, Reform!, is about Ross Perot’s third political party of the same name. The all-over-the-place cast of characters includes Pat Buchanan, Ralph Nader, Jesse Ventura, and Donald Trump. Deeply engrossing, illuminating, not to mention very funny, Part One is streaming for free on YouTube, while Parts Two and Three will be available starting in September. —Spike Carter
