Watched Winnebago Man last night, and I really liked it. While it explores a similar theme to Best Worst Movie, it doesn't come off as nearly as pathetic, focusing on the man in the cult clip rather than the fans. This one is talks about the humiliation and harm that can come from these embarrassing clips and attempts to find Jack to humanize him. And he's great, the classic crotchety old man that you just love immediately. "He's everybody's grandpa."
It's also interesting to hear the reactions of the different people involved, from the collectors who admitted that they didn't want to know the real Jack because it would take away their pleasure in laughing at him to the fan who walked out after the meeting saying that he saw Jack in a completely different, human way now.
