    • Trivia
      Billy McFarland agreed to appear in the documentary on condition that he be paid.
    • Quotes

      Billy McFarland: I think it's really easy to play "Monday morning quarterback" for myself right now, looking back and saying, "I should've done this, should've done that," and I certainly made a lot of mistakes, there's no question about that. But, before we had the worst luck, we had the best luck. It sounds crazy, but so many things had to go right to make it this big of a failure.

    Nero fiddled while Rome burned...
    Netflix Doc:

    🔥 Meet the Fyre team

    🔥 They can do this

    🔥 They can't do this

    🔥 They feel bad, man.

    🔥 (Produced by the Fyre team)

    Hulu Doc:

    🔥 Meet Billy

    🔥 Billy's a con artist

    🔥 Millennials are mostly young, naive, and rich

    🔥 Billy understands this...

    🔥 Except Billy is the only narcissist with enough delusions of grandiosity to milk and exploit millennial influencer culture so far that it self-implodes (into the Fyre Festival)

    🔥 Meanwhile Kylie Jenner is the youngest self-made billionaire and Johnny Depp owns his own island.
