In perhaps the feel good movie of the year, we Mikes gush over the triumphant achievements of Won’t You Be My Neighbor(?) here in this feel good Oscars Sprint Profile.  Join us as we dive deep into what structural, musical, and editorial highlights enabled this film to be one of the best documentaries in recent memory.

We begin with a discussion on how documentaries have become so profitable at the spring and summer box office this year.  Then we bio Fred Rogers and give you a ton of information on his phenomenal children’s program on PBS, Mister Rogers Neighborhood.  We Mikes share our different personal connections to the show before our non-spoiler review of the production values, script, music, and editing.  And of course, spoiler warning music gets you dancing after that.

Our spoiler review is mostly full of best scenes, but we do have a few worst elements that we break down & discuss.  Even still, those few lulls immediately redeem themselves moments later, and the triumph continues.  It’s definitely a gush fest here, but hopefully, we delve deeper into the why’s and how’s.
