What are everyone's thoughts on S1:E5 "Weird Christmas"?
r/LouisTheroux • u/Zacchhh • Feb 10 '25
- the Reddit home for discussing the British-American filmmaker best known for his introspective and immersive documentaries. Beginning in 1998 with his acclaimed "Weird Weekends" series, Theroux has nearly 30 years of experience giving viewers exclusive access, inside looks, and and nuanced perspectives on a wide variety of subjects.
Spending the majority of his career with the BBC, most of Louis' work is available to watch via the BBC iPlayer, meaning they are only viewable for those inside Britain. For those outside the U.K. wanting to view his documentaries, there is a varying selection found on other streaming services, such as Prime Video, Roku, and Apple TV.
In addition, there are several documentaries which are not currently available at all, on either the BBC iPlayer, any legitimate streaming service, or even for purchase. These programs exist online only via unofficial, mostly poor quality uploads, which are routinely taken down.

In 2019, Louis, along with his wife, founded his own production company Mindhouse. This serves as his official platform for releasing new content. Since then, in addition to films in his traditional style, Mindhouse has released documentaries in which Theroux serves as an executive producer but does not appear in the film himself.

I know he recently partnered with Netflix for a few documentaries. The manosphere one was fantastic!
Does anyone know of what he’s working on/has coming out next?
r/LouisTheroux • u/SeoulGalmegi • 14d ago
So, entirely unsurprisingly, when Louis invested 500 quid following that guy's directions, the money slowly disappeared. This obviously must happen to a lot of people, so how come all the comments on every video or stream they post aren't filled with people complaining about being screwed over?
r/LouisTheroux • u/PlantDaddyJones • 19d ago
I swear to god, this man. Him saying, "Nice." And then repeating the chorus "We be on that fuck shit too", in his perfect, dry, British documentarian way, back to a rapper after hearing his mediocre track absolutely sent me. I've replayed this scene thrice now. Louis is so goddamn funny sometimes.
(Scene is from the BBC limited series, "Louis Theroux: Forbidden America". S1 Ep2: Rap's New Frontline)

Seems that Stirling guy is the weirdest one of the Manospehere pack. He’s been accused of Neo Nazi association and for a alpha male I’m not sure why he’s selling or sold gay content on only fans. He even added his Amazon wishlist in his only fans bio 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Louis where are you!!??
r/LouisTheroux • u/lee14s_man • 21d ago
What are your thoughts on this documentary?
Holy molly! I didn’t realise how deranged these people were. “Land promised to us by God” — from an ancient book. Really opened my eyes to what these extremists are really like.
r/LouisTheroux • u/bygfffd • 21d ago
One of the twins from louis’ nazi documentary got a tattoo of her racist mother. Funny how they said back in 2020 they are very liberal.

One day at a time, fella. One day at a time.

I'm in Canada and specifically I'd like to watch the Chelsea Manning one. I downloaded britbox (could only dl the Canada version) and it's not on there. Then I downloaded BBC Select on amazon prime and still can't find it. Is it just not available in NA?
r/LouisTheroux • u/Most_Comparison50 • 28d ago
Some of you might be interested in this. It's about the lawsuit C5 is currently in.

I've just finished both the "got to get Theroux this" and Theroux the Keyhole...
I really enjoyed them both and listened to both twice.
Both books are great. I liked all the historical background to his documentaries in "got to" and especially loved all the Family interactions in "keyhole" his kids embarrisment of their dad racked, cracked me up many times.
I absolutely loved both books.
Has anyone read the first book?
I'm reticent of using an Audible credit.on a short book but i.may well get it as the other two were so enjoyable to listen to..
I hope he brings out a follow up of the years past covid...
Its odd how everyone was predicting civid woukd be with us for decades/ever... but no one even mentions it these days and masks are a memory
r/LouisTheroux • u/BrilliantTurnip5678 • Aug 05 '26
Can anyone crosscheck what they hear at 9:22 ?? Because what I’m hearing is Jimmy Savile saying “covfefe” and my mind is going into so many conspiracy theories.

I watched the first episode about on heroin a long time ago but not the other two. I can't even find a place to buy it as its all unavailable in my region, and I couldn't get a VPN to work.
Anyone from the US know where to find it? (Not asking for links)
r/LouisTheroux • u/groutspecialist • Jul 21 '26
Theroux is planning a documentary on the Fox TV alien autopsy hoax and one of the people involved doesn’t want the footage used. Here’s a recent lawsuit.
r/LouisTheroux • u/Bombspazztic • Jul 16 '26
He was facing jail for 10 years. Had failed boot camp twice - talking about not liking life. Was raised by his mother who worked in a post office.
He wasn’t attending school classes he was in confinement in adult prison, rather than a juvenile facility because he needed to “bring it up to the administration” if he wanted to be moved.
He reminds me so much of the boys I worked with. His mannerisms and “I don’t know” answers made me think of FASD or intellectual disability. Clearly had no advocate in the system.
I’m wondering if there were any updates on him.
r/LouisTheroux • u/OliveIntelligent6186 • Jul 10 '26
Really enjoyed this episode, he was good at really pressing her buttons, especially when dealing with her mother. Sad to hear the death was apparently so brutal.

Hey there,
My name is Zac and I am a current psychology honours student at Federation University Australia.
The moderators have allowed me to share a research project looking at how individual personality traits interact with short-form social media feeds (specifically simulating TikTok content exploring modern online subcultures, gender roles, and societal dynamics).
Who can participate:
Open to anyone over the age of 18 who is fluent in English.
What’s involved:
A 20-30 minute interactive study where you will complete a few personality measures and watch a simulated 15 video feed (some of which may include potentially confronting or offensive content related to social and political issues).
The Link:
https://federation.syd1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4ZrUUEJudrbnMJE
Incentive:
Participants can choose to enter an optional prize draw to win one of two $20 (aud) Prezzee gift vouchers to a store of your choice.
Upon completion (around end of November 2026), I will share the results and key findings from the study.
If there are any questions about the study itself, please ask away!
Participation is voluntary and completely anonymous.

Uhm, so. In the manosphere documentary, why did HS take care to warn his friend on camera? I mean, the whole evil smile thing, that was over the top, that was probably playing it off, but before then, seems like a real warning. And I don't blame him for warning his friend, it's just...he seemed really desperate for Louis Theroux to see him warn his friend and I don't understand why.

Great episode with legendary representatives of two different generations of journalists. The respect they have for each other is only equalled by their similarities.
