This man could send the planet into a nuclear winter and his supporters would brag that he fixed global warming.

This film is really quite profound, comedic moments aside. Andrew's analysis and thesis are sound and his depiction of a forgiveness culture is quite moving and necessary.

If he hasn't seen Fambul Tok (2011), he should. After the civil war on the Ivory Coast an organization was set up to bring communities back together through radical forgiveness. It means "Family Talk" and here's the idea: people are able to confront their abusers, at times it's neighbors who killed someone's family with machetes during the War. They gather the whole town in the square and the victim can shout and scream…

Some of yall in the reviews are dick riding Andrew in a way that simply makes no sense given the quality of this doc, which is just another long format C5 YT vid at the end of the day.

Listen… I think he’s a great journalist, allegations aside. I think the comeback has been strong as hell and it’s been fun to watch. I like Andrew Callaghan and genuinely enjoy the work he’s done, the Philly video for instance is one of the most honest and affective pieces of journalism I’ve seen in some time.

But this just felt kinda sloppy. Felt rushed and like not enough time has passed. I would like to see a follow up in maybe…

Weird movie! Excuse the rant.

There's a scene in Andrew's HBO doc This Place Rules where he interviews a pedophile who spends all of his time "outing pedophiles" in the democratic party and it is a fascinating moment of exposing someone clearly projecting their own inner turmoil. In the aftermath of that doc - which Andrew goes out of his way to shit on for good measure here - Andrew's personal life became public and he's was accused of sexual misconduct.

Since those allegations, it has been interesting to watch him clearly obsess over the idea of change both in his work on youtube (with his San Francisco, Philadelphia, and Las Vegas videos about homelessness and addiction) and his latest…

It starts with a pretty bold and plausible thesis: what if a devastating personal experience could translate into a tendency toward reactionary politics? 

Andrew lays his premises out neatly, almost as if writing a 5 paragraph essay, before introducing us to the eponymous Kelly, our case study for testing Andrew’s theory. The hour and 15 minutes that follow after this are not what I’d expected from a Channel 5 production or a uniquely talented interviewer like Andrew.

The monologue that usually guides us through Channel 5 YouTube videos is much more prominent here, and as the mystery of Kelly gets much less compelling throughout the film (spoiler: he’s a delusional liar who alienated his own family and the arc of…
