And it has already been branded as "bonkers" by viewers but that certainly doesn't mean it isn't binge-worthy.Who knew there was such a large cult of exotic animal hoarders in the US?

And who knew there was so much rivalry and hate?But people seem to be forgetting that this is based on real-life...

And we must say...
There are some things we wish we could unsee...
We also can't unsee this...

And now it seems he has got bigger ideas beyond the documentary.Joe is already thinking about a biopic...
It looks like he's wanting to take his story to the big screen.While there are no movie adaptations currently in the works...
Joe has a few names in mind for who he would want to play him.And he has very high expectations.
Because, according to one of the series’ directors, Rebecca Chaiklin, Joe has named Brad Pitt or David Spade as his preferred actors to play him in any future movie adaptation. Well, um, dream big... that's what they say, right?Another Tiger King star also has ideas.

John Finlay has now offered his opinion on who should play him to People magazine."[Channing Tatum] always had a special place in my heart."
"He did a shout-out to my distant cousin; she died of stage-four brain cancer. When he did his shout-out, he did it because it was on her bucket list.""He has a special place in my heart because of that."
"But he’s a really good actor, and a lot of people are putting names out there with him in it."Finlay has another idea, too.
"[Shia LaBeouf] would probably be a good choice because with a beard he can look like me, and he can relate to me."But now Carole Baskin has gone viral for another reason.
