Mr. Bean is a British sitcom created by Rowan Atkinson and Richard Curtis, with Robin Driscoll. Two theatrical feature-length films featuring Mr. Bean have also been released. The first film, Bean, was directed by Mel Smith, released in 1997 and followed the misadventures of Mr. Bean as he oversaw the transfer of Whistler's Mother to a Los Angeles art gallery. The second film, Mr. Bean's Holiday, was directed by Steve Bendelack, released in 2007 and followed Bean on an eventful journey across France for a holiday in the French Riviera to which, after a number of mishaps, culminates in an unscheduled screening of his video diary at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival. There has also been an animated TV series, spinoffs, live sketches, and commercials featuring the character. This video explores the creation of the character and traces his evolution to present day.

I launched this channel a year ago with a video essay on one of my favorite humans, Gene Wilder. To commemorate the occasion I decided to present an in-depth look at his life and career. I thought it only fitting that he narrate the story himself—using voice clips I collected. This is the story of Gene Wilder—in his own words.

A look back at the feature films of Laurel and Hardy. This is Part 2 of a planned 3 mini-docs, following Laurel & Hardy: The Sound of Silents (s2020e07). I originally had put a version of this video out over the summer, but I felt I missed a few important details that are well worth mentioning. Enjoy!

Part Laurel & Hardy, part buddy cop action stars. Terence Hill & Bud Spencer have been global superstars for decades now—except in America. This video is an introduction to their work and a tribute to their partnership.
