Louis Theroux: Inside the Manosphere is finally here, with viewers left “speechless” after its release on Netflix.
Theroux has never shied away from controversial subjects. But, in his own words, the manosphere — the online world of ultra-masculine influencers pushing misogynistic views — felt like the “final boss” of his career.
The new Netflix documentary follows Theroux as he spends time with several figures in that world, examining how their content spreads toxic masculinity, conspiracy theories, and hostility toward women.

Andrew Tate, arguably the most infamous figure in the movement, never appears in the film. Instead, Theroux interviews other prominent personalities, including HSTikkyTokky, Sneako, and Myron Gaines.
Louis Theroux viewers criticise Myron Gaines after new doc
Myron Gaines — real name Amrou Fudl — is the host of Fresh and Fit, one of the most controversial podcasts associated with the manosphere.
During the documentary, Gaines makes a series of provocative claims about relationships and gender roles. Theroux meets Gaines multiple times during filming, including a brief conversation with his then-girlfriend, Angie. By the end of the documentary, the couple have broken up.
Theroux also appears as a guest on the Fresh and Fit podcast. During the discussion, Theroux challenges several of the podcast’s claims about relationships and pseudoscientific ideas around “body count” and DNA.
“That was ridiculous… no one thinks that, that’s insane,” Theroux says at one point.
“When they talk about misinformation on the internet, this is what they’re talking about.”
“Whoever this Myron Gaines guy is… he is one of the biggest [bleep] I’ve ever come across. Everyone needs to watch this new Louis Theroux documentary. These ‘men’ on it are insufferable,” another posted.
“Jesus Christ the part where Theroux does the podcast with Myron… thousands of people are brainwashed by this [bleep],” a third wrote.
