Hey, all!

This one took a minute. I'm proud of where this episode ended up, especially considering the conditions it was made in. Mega thanks to Siddhant Adlakha for coming on this journey with me through Night's entire career. 

Another huge thanks to all of you for the support in 2021! Life comes at you fast sometimes.

I hope you enjoy this new style of episode. I'd like to take us on journeys through more filmmakers lives in the future so here's hoping this episode resonates with people! 

Next episode is not this big; I promise!

From an engagement perspective - is it better for us to watch now and like / comment etc, or wait until it goes public?

Love the dialogue format! The end is well worth the build up.

Happy birthday!! I hope you have an amazing Friday. I know it's been a very rough year so far, but I hope things begin to turn for the better soon.

Marshall Axani

Great essay team! Definitely have some watching in B&W to do now. Happy early b-day Mikey, take a well-earned day of eating tacos!

Patrick Edward Quinn

A very interesting look at his work. I'll have to try the sound off thing sometime - could be fun to try to work out what album goes with which film. And an early "happy birthday" to you!

You had a poll somewhere (favorite/least favorite). Sixth was my favorite because it introduced me to Night. Signs my least because it soured me to his films. I can’t tell you why I didn’t like it, because I can’t remember anything about it. I suspect it had something to do with hyped expectations and those expectations being met with a “meh.” I suspect I would appreciate it more if I rewatched it. I didn’t like Unbreakable at first either, and I appreciate that movie tremendously more after the second and third rewatches. At the time, after two “meh” reactions I gave up on Night, and the string of movies that lead to him becoming a critics punchline seemed to vindicate that rash judgement.

It's small, but there's a great little moment in this video where Mikey is corrected on his pronunciation of M. Night's surname, and I just love how he handles it. That tiny 6-second exchange is so dense with goodness that you could take it as a multivitamin. Mikey doesn't get defensive ("Oh, well, *everybody* pronounces it wrong here in America, so that's why I do it"), he simply apologizes, accepts the correction, pronounces it again to see if he's got it right, and then sticks with it going forward. It's such a small moment, but to me it shows the kind of consideration and humility that make Mikey and his work so touching. We've got people on the internet willing to draw blood over how to pronounce ".gif", but here's a creator using his platform not only to share in the joy of media and the human lessons it can teach us but also to *model* existing more harmoniously with others. Like the man said: "Fight Less; Talk More; Say Sorry Sometimes".

Great stuff as always. The cut to The Happening title had me laughing out loud at work.
