this is a great documentary, even if you're not a fan. it's soaked in the technological moment of 2002, something that filmmakers today are struggling to re-create. it's sweet, hilarious, wholesome, lots of candid, spontaneous scenes, and even shows pop-culture history before it was pop-culture history. I love little doc gems like these, whose subjects become significant decades later. "Stages" about Britney Spears' tour in Mexico is another great example.
this is a gorgeous capsule of early internet fan culture! bret became famous for being pretty on set, created brilliant music and made one of the best tv shows of all time, and then won an oscar for the muppets movie. what a legacy!
what is Jemaine Clement saying @ 29:10? "they're also making him out to be quite a _"??? English isn't my first language and i'm really struggling to hear anything other than "himbo" lmao
this was still a time when figwit was more famous than taika waititi 😳😳
yeah but I think at this point everyone realizes Taika's biggest accomplishment is being friends with Bret and Jemaine.

There are times where this just feels like watching an episode of Flight of the Conchords lol.
I LOVE that doco, thanks for uploading it.
He went from Figwit to winning an Oscar, I guess we can say Bret did pretty well!
