Something about the voice echo due to the lack of dampeners and the lack of a good mic, makes this a bit difficult to watch for some reason. I’m pretty sure I’ve just been spoiled by tech advancements over the years I dunno. Great video though, I’ve learned a lot on the topic. It’s a truly great art form.

I just finished and oh my god I love her! What an awesome life she has lived, she knew just about every single person involved in every single film here haha.

I think this is a fascinating view into that world, loved it! And I also heavily relate to her excitement about The Rock, absolute legend!
