Each video released on this channel will be an exploration of why a film, tv show, book, song, product, person, or holiday is great. While we will acknowledge that nothing is perfect, and things have flaws, we will strive to address those things without bias, and with a nuanced approach. Ultimately, however, the focus will be on the positives - the things about the work that gives us chills, the artistic merits, the strokes of genius. Along the way, we will add TV show recaps, film analysis, a podcast, and any other creative idea that comes our way. But we will always stay true to our vision. To focus on Why things are great.
