    Hey man, I just want to thank you for the portion about bad audio. I do audio for film and tv ( if you ever watch lifetime christmas movies you've probably seen one of mine haha ) and on a lot of sets audio is treated as an afterthought. Of course when they get to the edit room they freak out when they realize how important it actually is and end up spending quite a bit on ADR. Anyway, thanks for pointing out how important it is to a film. Love your channel man!!

    I'm fascinated by vanity projects. I think it's the closest thing we have to mind reading. You get to see what's in these people's heads, you see the vision they have of themselves, and what they think is the ultimate in cool and sexy and badass. The life they'd live if they could write their own story. What's most facinating is they star themselves, even though they must know they are not leading material. They can't bear to have a good looking actor play their part, they have to let the world know THEY are the best, this is THEIR story. Amazing.

The true apex of this genre is a movie called "200mph". If you're even remotely a car guy or know anything about working on cars you will love tearing that movie apart lmao.
    Prime example... a huge concern that is brought up multiple times in the movie with the idea of making a street car hit 200mph is literally the fear that it will "Lift off the ground and fly away"
