So that was something that we talked, Jason, a lot about last year was the visuals seem so great.

We saw a lot of stuff posted on social media by people like Taylor McGregor, the Cubs field reporter.

But we didn't see a lot of content when you consider what this trip meant to Major League Baseball, both the Dodgers and the Cubs.

And so for you to help bring this to people when they didn't get to see a lot of what went on in those trips, I think is a really big deal.

We're talking to Jason Sturman, the director and producer of Homecoming, the Tokyo series, a feature documentary made in partnership with MLB.

It is in theaters, but only on February 23rd and 24th if you want to check it out.

And what was what was what most moving to you maybe about about what you observed?

You know, you mentioned all these different levels of the appreciation for baseball in Japan and to cover the stars like Shohei Otani, for example, or Shota Imanaga.

What meant the most to you out of what you saw?

Jason, I know that obviously the Dodgers have a huge footprint in Japan when it comes to their popularity because of guys like Roki Sasaki, Shohei Otani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

But what was the level of Cubs popularity that you got to observe?

Okay, so you mentioned you hung out with Clark the Cub.

How was he received?

What did the people think of Clark?

Well, Jason, this has been a lot of fun to talk to you and also get a look at this film one more time for people who want to see it in theaters on the 23rd and the 24th only, Homecoming, the Tokyo series, a cinematic journey told through the people and passion who fuel the game in Japan.

This has been a lot of fun to catch up with you, and thanks for bringing this to people.

That's Jason Sturman, who is directing and producing that film.

I think that's great because as we've discussed, we didn't get to see a lot of, I think, what went on.

And it's nice to get another look at it and on these different levels.

Well, let's be honest.
