Jesus Christ.

I would love your analysis.

I thought it was quite fascinating.

I thought it was quite human.

I'm a person that's done a documentary about a person who was no longer here being Mary Tyler Moore.

That can be a little bit trickier.

I don't want to say there's more pressure, but her widower was kind enough to give us the life rise in the space to tell that story.

It took us about five years just going through a lot of interviews and things like that.

Obviously, I'd written the memoir when I was much younger and just obsessed with the Mary Tyler Moore show and Dick Van Dyke and all that kind of stuff.

But it's tough to kind of create a portrait of a person.

And obviously that person is still here and he's being interviewed.

And, you know, I've heard the stories.

I think a lot of us have.

And they're in the doc.

Yeah, exactly.

I learned a lot of things that I didn't know, which I think is the point of a documentary.

No, not at all.

It's tricky because it's not about making excuses, but rather about giving you context for a person.

That's what I like to say.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
