So now for my actual thoughts in the Announcement.  I'm normally verbose to a fault so I'll keep this brief. 

I was a good editor before I became a friend in your head.  I am far better at what I do now, in no small part because of this.  More than that though, this podcast has solidified friendships that will last me my lifetime.  I was friends with Trey when we started but the rest of the DIF/WAYDM family is exactly that, they're family to me.   I've been so stupidly lucky to have such wonderful people in my life as both friends and collaborators.  My 4 year old loves his Aunt Cloe and Uncle "Teeth," and you guys, this forum, have literally heard of his growth in real time.  While I'm sad to see FIYH in it's current iteration come to an end, I know that the relationships I've formed are anything but over, and at the end of the day, like Teague said, it's act of doing for the sake of doing that matters the most.

By hte way, Teague.  You.  You are a goddamned inspiration.  I stand in awe of your brain, your work ethic and most of all, your aggressive, in your face fucking KINDNESS.  You are the most decent guy I know.  I was honored when you asked me to be a part of this, and you've been nothing but supportive the entire time I've known you.  You are an entrenched part of my life, so get used to it, sucker.  Thank you for the totality of THIS.

And yeah...Documentality will live on.  Why?  Because you all have inspired me.  You all motivate me.  And like I said in our 1 year anniversary show, this podcast and this community filled the cinematic gap that was created when my father passed.  The film club we started was reincarnated when this community came into my life.  So for now, until the end of my days, I shall forever be...your friend (in your head).

Let me know if the quality is ok. I had to mess with the mic levels a touch.

Also, when are we doing the sequel to this film where Tom and I have a holographic lightsaber duel of the masters?

Shoot, I got busy with another thing last night; I'll get 'er tonight for sure.

re: the Masters' showdown: I have worked on ways of making it possible for people to duel without being together in the same physical spacetime. (Once, I had to fight my own clone...) It's tricky to shoot but fun to VFXify.

edit:
Cut and print, great stuff FP. Thanks again!

Ok, I did the beginning of my podcast review of the Hobbit, and below is a link for the first part of it, as test footage.

I'll probably rerecord it, but any comments would be appreciated

I listened to it, and wanted to keep listening. Looking forward to your psychology take on it, which is yet to come...?
It'd be nice to lay some Hobbit score underneath your commentary but that probably breaches copyright, even if it's not a commercial product you're making.
The theatrical Hobbit 3 will be out on Blu-Ray soon, so you can do a 8 hour trilogy commentary because I don't think Friends in Your Head are gonna be bothered

For those (like myself) questioning whether it was a good idea to break it into three movies, we now have the answer from Box Office Mojo - another $1 billion. We should be lucky they didn't break it into four parts.
