10 Worst Uses Of CGI In Bollywood Movies: www.filmcompanion.in/features/bollywood-features/10-worst-uses-of-cgi-in-bollywood-movies/
Not being able to make watchable movies anymore, this loser has been celebrating anniversaries of his decade back movies just to remind people his past glory 🤦♂️
First time one realises that the lead stars take away unfair credit. The main showman is really the director !!
❤❤❤❤
They had a debate. And it was said, Raju Hirani is the most Versatile filmmaker.
Hell NO.
Look at Ram Gopal Varma films. He has made a Musical, Gangsta Flicks, Horror Films, Murder Mystery, Thrillers, Road Trip Noir Films, Drama, Political Flicks. He has bloody done it all.
He has saved Bollywood from the NRI Catering Dharma and YRF. He has given a certain identity to the Indian Film Industry.
Love Him or Hate Him, For me Ram Gopal Varma is the most versatile Filmmaker of Indian Film Industry.
but from a last decade he is making shitty films
I don’t think anyone says Raju hirani is the most versatile. Some People do say he is the best though
Ramu is a genius ! you are so right brother!
I'd really like to meet people who think Hirani is versatile. I mean, he's good and has a great ear for comedy. But, every film is an execution of the same formula. A disapproving father, a side-kick who looks up to the hero, having a keyword (jadoo ki jhappi, wrong number, all is well, gandhigiri), fixing an establishment through a hero who does not belong there. Basically, fun and enjoyable, but definitely formulaic. Also, I really really like RGV, but I'd say his film-making is quite formulaic too, that way. I get that it's your personal opinion, but if it's about versatility, it has to be Mani Ratnam, Anurag Kashyap, Geetu Mohandas, Kamal Hassan or someone like that. These guys literally change their film-making styles, lighting, storytelling, music and so much more with every film.
@@svj91 agree man !
He introduced 100s of most successful technicians to movie industry....still so humble....
That includes highly egoistic Anurag Kashyap
AR Rahman was introduced to Bollywood through RGV
"True love is about wishing well for the other person rather than being possesive and wanting that person for onself." ~ Ram Gopal Verma ❤️
RGV is the reason why the current dark themed web series like Sacred Games and Mirzapur exist
He transformed Ajay Devgun's image also. Before "Company", the movies he was doing were b-grade movies like Platform and some other movies where he performed some cheap third class acts like standing on moving motor-cycle and so on. But after Company Bollywood pigs caught on to the lesson as to how he should be portrayed and what he suits best for. Because we all know people cry when Ajay Devgun does comedy or dance.
@@tubepeeper Nope. Ajay's transformation began with Zakhm. Company was no doubt a landmark.
True bro..his gangster flicks are all class apart
Agreed
@@tubepeeper His transformation actually started with najaayaz in 1995, when he was nominated for best actor-Filmfare, then came zakhm in 1998, which truly showcased, what ajay devgn could do with silence and his eyes. And in 1999 hum dil de chuke sanam and criminally underrated takshak with Tabu, Amrish Puri sir, and psychopathic portrayal of Rahul Bose opened zone for ajay Devgan to try other genre. Before company he had lajja, dil kya kare and in the same year that company releases, he also had the legend of bhagat Singh garnering him his second national award.
I lived at the railway quarters opposite Maratha Mandir. They shot the Rangeela premier scene from our balcony
He is an honest man, no drama, straight forward, can hear to him all day long. Ramu is the best director ever and keeps on surprising. He lives life to the fullest. Tx for doing this Anupama.
Why girls love him so much 🤔🤔🤔
Dilip Nair for all the reasons mentioned above 😄
@@harini7430 Also because,as you so rightly put it,He lives life to the fullest and obviously Fearless which I feel are the best 2 qualities to live in this world
Hey harini game changer of amazon still u love him
@@dilip_s she is cult biggest fan rgv ever had even she has fans
His interviews are much more interesting than his recent films... Man those anecdotes from his films are truly amazing... Giving assistants the full time job bcz he is irritated by unavailability of their bossess tells volumes abt his character... he respects art not the artist... He has introduced countless talents to Hindi and Telugu Cinema...
Karan Johar try to fuck his career but see he is still surviving ✌️
This man had brought a big change in Bollywood.
It could be true, I would like to know where exactly he brought as a south indian, i know he contributed a lot to cinema and society as well.
@@bommareddyfhanindrareddy5098 he ruled Bollywood at the time of satya, company, rangeela,.. Half of the directors now in Bollywood are introduced by rgv
6ix 9ine good, can you name some of them please just for info
@@bommareddyfhanindrareddy5098 Google it you will find out
Maximum film worked anurag kashyap as assistant director for ramgopal varma films...and in satya fim 80% anurag kashyap did dialogue writer screen play and also story datys satya got hit......when anurag kashyap left ramu Gopal Varma got flops dis is fact....in fact ram gopal varm doing sex movies for dis reason only coz no talent.....
Urmila is most under rated actress..n ahead of time ..with lots of superb movies
Kangana might be angry with that praise
Anupama ?😉
So true
Rgv is one of the few filmmakers who made a classic musical ( Rangeela) 2 epic gangster dramas(Satya and company) classic horror flicks(Raat and bhoot) epic suspense flick(koun) and a good Political drama (Sarkar) ..even his not so successful attempts like jungle, mast , the attack of 26/11 are damn watchable.Another thing which rgv had a knack for was giving out films with great music Satya, company (khallas and tumse Kitna pyaar hai) mast,pyaar tune kya Kiya, Naach( a very under rated Rgpv film) Additionally Ramu is also someone who has made 3 hit songless films (bhoot,ratri,Sarkar) add an above average koun and Lo that's a distinction no other Indian filmmaker has.
26/11 was super realistic
You all should watch his telugu classics as well
He is the one of the best technicians we've got. Huge respect for him for his Vision and his perspectives of looking and capturing things.
Add to that ...the cult classic Shiva , kshana kshanam , his most entertaining film ever
He made some classics in Telugu also shiva,kshana kshanam,gayam do watch if you interested
Love this man for his honesty.
Me too, I love how he stands for Rhea. He makes so much sense and still people do not get him.
@Rudraksh Tiwari 😂😂😂
Azeema u r super beautiful 😍

This interview was hilarious, didn't know Ramu is so funny. The stories he said about the making of the music was crazy - whether it is AR telling him after 4 days that next time not putting him in room with TV or that "hai rama" tune sounded like a classical music or the title track sounding like a tribal song .... all great stories, hilarious!!
Always
A fresh & honest interview. You can see the passion in Ramu. Ramu is a path breaker & true Outlier, though he seems to have lost his way recently. I have loved his movies, design & talent he has given. Rangeela is a bigger movie, DDLJ overshadowed releasing in a small gap. A curious case just like The Shawshank Redemption being overshadowed by Forrest Gump. I have loved Shiva, Raat, Rangeela, Satya, Company, Sarkar & so so many more. Bounce back & bounce back hard Ramu, Bollywood is too bogus & dull without you.
The director who had lost his Midas touch.... A career graph which declined as steeply after 2000s.... As steeply as Rajamouli's rise....
Hope he bounces back, but chances are less as he has exhausted all his ideas....
His ideas and genres seemed fresh for mid 90s to early 2000s as those were new to Indian cinema at that time and Indians were not exposed to world cinema and content....
But after 2000s there are lots of youngsters and other directors who are making more technically sound output in smaller budgets in all these genres.... Ramu never adapted with time, nor has patience to deliver a product with technical finesse....
@@050138 RGV will always remain a genius for me who redefined Cinema despite his recent downturn.
@@successhighway
If a director, has 4 continuous flops people tend to forget him.... And if those flops happen to be genuinely bad films, he will have to pack his bags....
But if this man is still respected after 20 such disasters, it is only due to the indelible footprint he has left on the industry.... He has left such a solid impact in the first 10 years of his career, that I think he will be celebrated even if he continues to churn crap after crap for the rest of his life!!! 😅🙏
@@050138 yes, rightly said.👍
He's deteriorated since then. I do agree he was a class above. But he is pure trash now.
Ram Gopal Varma's Satya is one of the best cinema of all time.
Shiva( 1990) also
RGV happens just once like a Tendulkar
czcams.com/video/fYIJG_aqR7U/video.html
I could pay a 1000 bucks and watch this man talk for 3 hours and I'd savour it very much... RGV 💙
There's 50 hours of him talking. But in Telugu: czcams.com/play/PLwUkzqL9e05xOskEmylP4zUVkz0RBzUzU.html
most of his interview stuff is in telugu... otherwise u guys will see a philosopher, rushi and a kid in him
Being proud of Telugu guy❤️
@@sharadhotha1475 yeah been watching it since it aired... I've converted all these convos into audio files and listen to them time to time
@@sundeepk1138 I'm a telugu guy so ramuism and all other interview of his I watch regularly and repeatedly
Such an amazing story-teller ... can keep listening to him
RGV to strugglers - "sadak se uthakar star bnauga"🙄🙄
learn the spelling first
Rangeela is like that fresh cool breeze which always excites and satisfies. Its a film which can never die. There are very few movies which excite the entire theatre audience. Rangeela did that with ease.
Thanks RGV sir for gifting us rangeela. Thanks anupama ji for giving us this interview. Its sad that bollywood is not able to wonder celebrate this 25 years in a big way!
It is incredibly mysterious how Ramu sounds so wonderfully respectful of his colleagues on the film and how he never even once sounds full of himself which he otherwise seems all the time these days! It is incredible how nostalgia can take you back to your own self and make you see the world with the same naive curiosity!
I did not think I'd be able to sit through the entire 36 minutes, but they went like a breeze.
"Iski toh tum baat na karna, humko dada sab kehte hain..."
Nice 👌
Ramu and Rahman going to Goa and Rahman watching TV all day is a very funny story. 😁😁😁😁
🤣🤣🤣
Haha true !! Some trip that might have been !!
Surprised he did not hire Rahman's assistant after that to do the rest of the score!!! :)
@@adityasen2281 Yes for sure😁
@@RV-ru5kb But he immediately found an altenative I guess. After Daud, he didn't go for Rahman. Next film was Satya. Songs by Vishal Bharadwaj and Background score by Sandeep Chowta. And next film Mast. Ramu made Sandeep Chowta debut as a music director in Mast. And Sandeep's sound was very close to Rahman's. When I heard the title song of Mast from an audio shop, I thought it is Rahman. The blasting music, orchestration- all had a Rahman flavor to it. Sandeep continued to work with Ramu for so many movies - Jungle, Prema Kadha, Pyar Tune Kya Kiya, Road, Rakthacharitra(bgm) etc. Rahman did only two movies for Ramu but those two movie music were legendary. People still hum all songs of Rangeela and Shabba Shabba, Oh bhavre from Daud.
i enjoyed so much this interview. Love RGV. He used to surprise us with every movie of his and I hope he comes back strongly again and keeps surprising us.
Anupama brings out the best in all of her interviewees.
I was truly satisfied after watching this video. Like the kind of satisfaction you get when you eat a home cooked meal.
Good job FC
Everytime people talk of Rangeela, they talk of Aamir Khan's tapori lingo, Rahman's groundbreaking music and Urmila's gorgeousness, but seldom do we see people discuss how endearing the character of Jackie Shroff was. He could have nailed the role of Munna, given his real-life ruggedness and ruffian demeanour but for RGV to give him such a nuanced role was nothing but sheer genius!
That's because his eyes were not on the pockets of the sea of illiterate masses in some states of India like the those of the Punjabi Bollywood Directors.
That role would have been cake walk for Jackie. He is in Bhidu mode all the time😁. Jackie is a legendary actor. There is no role he can’t do.
My thoughts exactly..
He was not young. Hence
Jackie Shroff's performance was very subtle. It was all in the eyes. He could have done Munna's role in his sleep. Even now he's the first consideration when it comes to an veteran gangster role -for eg: he was mentor to Vikrant Massey on Criminal Justice on Hotstar or the short film Shunyata or even Aranya Kandam.
In conclusion, Never send your assistants to RGV
😂
😁😂
😂
😂🤣
I really lost it when I pictured young ARR telling RGV that he didn’t compose because he wasted hours watching TV. Hilarious !!!
This interview was charming
Anupama, these last few days I’ve been watching Film Companion obsessively, thanks to you showcasing Malayalam talent that no one, north of Kerala, has ever bothered to do.
With this interview, 2 things are clear -
1) You are a true blue film buff/nerd and the joy in you, when talking films with filmmakers, is infectious! I rarely see such connection (and preparedness) in interviews.
2) I had forgotten what Ramu was all about. And sadly I had also bought into the media narrative of his arrogance and how he’s a “has been”. I’m thankful to you for showcasing what a gifted filmmaker RGV is. I firmly believe he’s a national treasure and has so much to give. Thank you for reminding us of that!
Lastly, I have a suggestion - Ramu deserves a few more interviews with you - there’s Shiva, Satya and Company. And numerous others! I know a lot has already been discussed on these movies but I bet you can bring out a unique perspective and more nuggets that others wouldn’t have.....I mean who would have ever known that Rahman goofed off his time in Goa watching TV and Manish Malhotra and Ahmed Khan would have been unknowns, had it not been for Ramu and his impulsive ways! And the Steven Kapoor reveal is priceless 😄
SHIVA and SATYA are the best movies of RGV.
A special program on these movies is definitely required.
Company!
Man from another era ! Man with vision. Good luck RGV.
Anupama is a gem. It’s sad she got trolled, but the audience should be glad to have such a fab interviewer. She is amazing and one can see how much celebrities open up to her. Real or Virtual her interviews are just addictive.
In mental asylum Doctor is the one who is a Mental.
She is a bit biased sometimes, but have to accept she has a perfect etiquette to handle such inrerviews and a pleasing enough persona to make people comfortable and bring best out of them....
She is a breath of fresh air, in these film interviews!
Couldn’t agree more, she brings out the best in people
lol. You are funny!
This man. RGV ....And his movie shiva....Left a big impact in my life..
czcams.com/video/fYIJG_aqR7U/video.html
This man is sooooo honest. Though we miss the old Ramu we still don't mind the current one. Thanks for changing the industry forever. Raat, Shiva, Rangeela, Satya, Bhoot, Company and so many more masterpieces. Urmila is my all time fav.
Absolutely loved this interview...please interview Urmila, it would be interesting to know how she looks back at the movie...
Loved the Interview.
Such a straight forward guy.
Giving credit where it's due.
Plus sharing those hilarious anecdotes.
After watching, I felt he could have achieved so much more and has instead deviated a bit.
But as he said, he lives life on his terms.
#respect
Watched Satya just the other day on CZcams again after many years and mahn what a film! Just as impactful now as it was at the time of its release. The watertight script, the impeccable performance of every actor who actually lived their respective roles, the cinematography capturing Mumbai in all its gritty and grimy glory, the color scheme and tone of the film. The out of the world soundtrack by Vishal Bharadwaj which did not at all feel out of place in the movie. And of course, the pathbeaking bgm by Sandeep Chowta. Everything was just PERFECT! That's the glory I want Ramu to regain.
Watch another RGV movie in Telugu, called 'Anaganaga Oka Roju' with same lead cast (Urmila and J. D. Chakravarty)
It is in CZcams with subtitles....
It is an entertaining crime comedy (first in Telugu) and another film where RGV completely utilized Urmila, she was also as glamorous as Rangeela!
Even his first film Shiva is great. Brilliantly shot action/crime thriller.
RGV is the fountainhead of new age Indian cinema. Parallel cinema would never have been whatever it is today, atleast in hindi cinema (filled with happy rom-com 's) , if not for this man.
Without anurag kashyap der is no satya....satya movie credit goes to Anurag Kashyap.....not RGV...... Google it den u will know about satya movie....when anurag kashyap left RGV got flops dis is fact.....
@@sachinsachin2894 Satya happened because of RGV. He got Manoj Bajpai and then Manoj got Anurag. Please give credit where it is due. No one other than RGV would have even dared to make a movie like Satya in those Kuch Kuch Hota Hai days.
I still remember the feeling when I watch this film. I was 11. I was completely awestuck and in trance....Spellbound....What a direction....He was a path breaker...
This was such an engaging conversation.. RGV is such a delightful narrator.. Need to go back and catch Rangeela once again!
The way he explained the climax was so butiful. I love how he so peculiarly understands his flaws but also silently admits that he has made a cult. Beautiful interview. I wish he can come up to the surface again and make something amazing again.
I really hope that this guy succeeds again in Bollywood as his kind of cinema is very much missed. He just has to make proper movie without any fancy camera angles or lighting and surely he will succeed.
Haha he has gone overboard in his 'angles' over the years! 😂😅
He’s coming up with Arnab the news presstitute now
Vi K yeah fancily insane
The Guy is legend ! ✅
czcams.com/video/fYIJG_aqR7U/video.html
best director ever
we never know he can make his comeback anytime
a r rahamn song you will never like in first atempt.. it slowly seeps in and becomes your fav
Keeping aside all his films and ground breaking stuff he has done as a director/producer, the number of people that he has given a break to and the quality of those people, speaks so much about his eye for talent.
When the song first came out, the sound was unique and too much next level for our IQ but as it grew on you, the song were inseparable for months/years !!! AR Rahman ♥️👌👍💐💥🔥
Omg I was 15 when the film released. So want Mr Verma to direct films like Satya and Rangeela. He’s a genius!
This man's honesty in his words hits me everytime I read him or watch him speaking.
Thoroughly enjoyed this interview kudos @Filmcompanion and @AnupamaChopra you really do have a way with people and dare I say this is the sanest RGV has sound in years :) This man has immense potential, I really miss his 90s magic where he gave us unforgettable gems like Rangeela, Satya, Sarkaar, Jungle and later Company...This interview rekindled my hope that he still can do that and more
Well said Ronak
Never found RGV so sensible and humble in any of his other interviews I've seen ..really liked his transparency
so this shows that he is best at give interviews when I watch these telugu language interviews they always ask about the choices he make more than the work may be thats why he answer the questions in such blatant manner. God he brought such change to the Indian cinema!
lovedddd this i didnt wanted the interview to end Thank you sooo much Anupama Mame for being so patient and listening to what ppl need to say thats what makes your interviews different and ppl are looking forward to ittt
He is such an honest man, tells what he copied from which movie unlike any other directors.
Such anecdotes - such honesty - such humility -- great interview!
There will be no other director like RGV in India..First movie I watched in his direction was Kshana Kshanam (sridevi, Venkatesh,1991) in a theatre as a kid and really enjoyed it..Very different from any movies made in Telugu before that. My love and respect for Sridevi increased after that movie..
Great background story inspired from a college story. What a fun watch this was. Definitely watching it again now! 'True love is wishing well for someone, not being possessive about the person'.
4:20 So freaking happy he mentioned Mani Ratnam. I just love the fact that Mani and RGV are polar opposite in their personalities yet their sensibilities cross each other. Would love to listen to them both talking. Great interview, cheers.
Just reading peoples’ comments below tells you the depth and intelligence of ramu’s fan base. Such eloquent articulation by so many below.
I dare you to find such depth in chopra/johar fan base.
Loved every second of this gem of a conversation. Be it Anupama Chopra's interview with RGV in his crazy office set up or this one, the interviews are all heart and love for cinema. #ACChaluHaiTohIdharGhumaNa

BRAVO. BIG BIG FAN OF RAMU SIR 🙏🙏🙏🙏
DAMN NEVER HEARD OF ANY OF HIS FILMS...WERE THEY NOT HIT?
Most of his movies were blockbusters..
And many have become cult over the time...
Raktha charitha, attacks
Of 26/11, killing veerappan
@@vijayamohandharmavaram5404 yes for sure. 👍
lol...no mention of his recent movies and web series
Ramu is such an intellectual mind. His interviews are really entertaining.
Can someone also interview Urmila Matondkar?
It's her film after all!
true i second that
True
V true
But some over confident lady considered Urmila as a soft porn star😏
She is the heart of the film. True.
Atleast once in week do interview with this gem ❤️
Just loved this so much.Im such a big fan of Raktha Charitra also. Vivek was just amazing there. I love his Ramuism episodes too,not that I go by what he says there,instead I use those as food for thought and finally form my opinions. He is bloody cool~.FC. You guys are awesome.
Yeah can't agree to all his views, but most of the time he does put forth some compelling arguments!
Rakhtcharitra is a very underrated movie...once you actually google all those real stories and people/characters attached to it..then you can appreciate it even more...
@@nishantsharda
If you are from Andhra, you actually know about the factions gangs of that area.... It was not only a great film, but it was his most gutsy film, as he got death threats from the followers of those faction leaders who died, they said they will hack him to death when he steps in that village, if he doesn't stop his film.... But Rakta Charitra Part 2 was not as good as part 1, as he made it overly dramatic trying to justify the opposite character!
Chaman charlie. I loved Part 1 more than 2,too
After watching this interview I really wanna watch Rangeela all over again 💕
This was a terrific interview with right questions and fabolous answers. Ramu is such mimic that he flawlessly picks up mannerisms of people..and how funny he talks...Man seem to be different from his films....
What makes Rangeela special is not RGV,Urmila,Amir etc......it's one and only AR Rahman's Music...which blasted poor quality music at that time in Hindi cinema...copy cats like Anu Malik ,Bappi Lahiri ran for covers when a real legend entered Mumbai...never before Hindi audience faced such a talent....
Exactly
There is so much relief in RGV's face as a worthy/knowledgeable anchor/cinema-person is doing the interview.
Boys just want one thing and that is RGV to make a kickass comeback.
Heard him speak after 25 yrs. 😉
But its so refreshing to hear RGV speak. When he was in his prime of film making , there weren’t many interviews and publicity going on where everyone was speaking. Their work did the talking.
I am so happy after hearing all the stories and his perspective.
Thank you Anupama maam for this.
He introduced 100of technicians to filmindustry still he is so humble,🙏
Really appreciate the honesty with which RGV spoke...It would be wonderful to know how Urmila looks back at Rangeela. Would request Anumana Ma'am to do an interview with her.
czcams.com/video/fYIJG_aqR7U/video.html
Amazing Amazing Interview. Thanks Anupama ji for doing this and always a fan of Ramu, his philosophy, lifestyle and thought process.
Most influential director in hindi films
czcams.com/video/fYIJG_aqR7U/video.html
What an amazing interview after a looooooong time :D
I remember some time back Mr. Big B once said "I can never say NO to RGV after his narration" LOOKS TRUE.
The way he NARRATES.. We can sit and watch for another 2 hours for what ever the shit he says. 🙏
Substitute of AR still not found
ARR ❤️
This the ramu we really miss😍....deep down everybody wants that sensible, rebellious and great film maker ramu who changed hindi cinema...pls come back master
This is the most fun interview I have watched in a long time. Ramu is an absolute original; made some path breaking films when film content and story telling was so limited. Enjoyed it Anupama. Cheers
He was once considered the best!!
I've watched this interview four times and it's still as entertaining!
If Ramu wants to regain his edge, all he's got to do is watch his own movies of the late 80s and 90s.
No, the reason for his failure is that he has not grown with time or adapted to the changing audience!
Brilliant interview !
It somehow changed my perception of Ramu ! Very different from the way he operates today...
Wow....
M so so so happy Thanks anupama Chopra thanks film companion for this lovely and honest interview....
U made my day...
Unlike all the other interviews where Ram Gopal Varma throw's rubbish at people, this is the most strait forward he was and full credits to Anupama Chopda for that
czcams.com/video/fYIJG_aqR7U/video.html
RGV is an institution on cinema.He didn't do any training as a director but still he made a lot of movies,some worked some didn't work but still he is a maverick director and he has the guts to take risks
Film companion is a meaningful platform amidst the chaotic news feeds and CZcams channels. Great work. Thoroughly enjoyed your interview with ram gopal verma!
czcams.com/video/fYIJG_aqR7U/video.html
Thank you FC! Such a great interview - Anupama Chopra is truly the best at interviewing people, she makes it so personal.
This is so delightful. Extremely engaging. Kudos to Film Companion to get RGV to interview. One of the best RGV interviews. Great anecdotes
Please make this kind of an interview for satya movie, obviously it takes 3 more years to complete 25 years for satya movie #RGV
Next interview fixed in 2023
Great interview Ms Anupama, RGV has been and will always be one of my all time favorite film personality not only as a director, writer and creative genius that he is but also for a no one cares attitude
I had a smile throughout the video...it is always fun hearing ramu ...everyone wants him to direct great movies again
Amazing revelations. Can imagine Anupama cracking up while describing Dracula sequence😂😂. RGV is very talented filmmaker, work was ahead of its time movies/subjects. Hope to see 90's n 2000 's RGV
What a honest talent..
Legend RGV ! Waiting for another love story
This takes me back to those days when I happened to watch Kshana Kshanam, 3times in 2days. It's the brilliance of direction. I am hoping against hope that RGV will be making the kind of movies that made him a RGV. But unlikely it seems. I think he just needs a good content writer.
Amazing! Goosebumps throughout!! RGV is a film industry.
Always interesting. could listen to him speak in 100 more videos
