In this episode, we dive into Tickled (2016), the jaw-dropping documentary that starts with journalist David Farrier stumbling upon the quirky world of “competitive endurance tickling” videos. What begins as a lighthearted curiosity quickly spirals into a dark investigation uncovering harassment, intimidation, and a shadowy empire behind the strange subculture. We’ll explore how a seemingly harmless fetish unraveled into a chilling story about power, control, and secrecy—and why Tickled remains one of the most unsettling and unforgettable documentaries of the past decade.
