That documentary really hit a thoughtful note for me. It shows how expectations can shape how we feel about where we live, and honestly, that’s something I’ve noticed in my own life too. People often chase a version of success that looks perfect from the outside, but real happiness tends to be quieter and more personal. It reminded me of random everyday things, like searching for something simple such as a regal cinemas phone number and realizing how much we rely on small comforts. California still feels magical, just maybe in a more human, imperfect way than we expect at first glance.
Very witty delivery of very powerful history of the winds of change and how California came to be the state that it is.
I totally forgot this guy even existed! This was really good. Informative and funny! Calling Miley Cyrus a “hammer licker” was hysterical!!
“The largest Global migration in American history” LMAO!
This guy is a comedian? He’s about as comedic as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
His extremely dry style is definitely more popular over here in the UK. That’s why he does a lot of BBC stuff. The Yanks don’t really get his acerbic wit….
+Peanut Turner I thought he was hilarious!
Interesting and funny, too. Recommended.
