On Monday April 20 at 6pm AEST, the first two episodes of the "Michael Jordan - The Last Dance" will drop on Netflix.

Taken from the video description courtesy of ESPN:





The Last Dance is a 10-part documentary that chronicles the untold story of Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls dynasty with rare, never-before-seen footage and sound from the 1997-98 championship season – plus over 100 interviews with famous figures and basketball’s biggest names, including Jordan himself, Phil Jackson, Scottie Pippen, Steve Kerr, Dennis Rodman, Pat Riley, Charles Barkley, Dikembe Mutombo, Patrick Ewing, Magic Johnson, Isiah Thomas, Kobe Bryant, Gary Payton, Adam Silver, Bob Costas, Barack Obama, Justin Timberlake, and more.





The release timeline for the insanely hyped documentary has been brought forward by ESPN due to the Coronavirus - it was initially supposed to drop in June. The 10 episode series will be spread across 5 weeks with two episodes releasing each Monday (Sunday US).





We're gonna host a watch-party live on Discord at 6pm to watch Episodes 1 & 2 back-to-back with live text followed by a group call afterwards for those that are keen. BYO snacks and strong opinions. Discord link for the fresh serve(r) is here: https://discord.gg/By2JscC









For those unfamiliar, Discord is an online community/chatroom style app built for gaming first-and-foremost but will certainly lend itself well to something like this.





It will be interesting to hear from MJ himself and those closest to him during that time, and I don't know about you, but I'm pretty hyped to hear Barack Obama, a native Chicagoan, talk about prime MJ and what it was like to be a fan in that era.





There's unlikely to be a dry eye in the house during the Kobe footage/interviews given the relationship he had with MJ





MJ has already begun doing some proactive PR defense ahead of the documentary's release:

Michael Jordan says upcoming documentary 'The Last Dance' will make people think he's a 'horrible guy'

Which is a pretty good indicator that the content is going to be pretty juicy.

Join us at 6pm on Monday. Or be square.
