Our Wheel World

[Bill Nye the Science Guy theme song playing]
Natalie: We are at our first movie at the
Hot Docs Cinema
Natalie: Its actually really cool, Toronto
has one of the worlds only movie theatres
dedicated entirely to documentary
Natalie: This was like an old review theatre
Natalie: That I used to come to all the time
and see the Rocky Horror shadow shows
Natalie: And it was going to kind of be shut
down like all the other review theatres were
Natalie: And then the Hot Docs kind of came
in and saved it
Natalie: And they've rebranded it, some
people kind of miss the old Rocky Horror shadow shows and such
Natalie: But I think it's really cool to
have a movie theatre dedicated to documentaries
So we are going to see a movie about Bill
Nye
Natalie: And he's here
and he's here, and there's going to be
an extended Q&A and I've already seen him
and he walked by me and up the stairs
Natalie: We're kind of geeking out
Oh I'm totally geeking out
Natalie: I think everyone here is geeking
out at least a little bit
Natalie: Every year the festival has a few
big headliner movies and they're packed
Natalie: This is the line up, you can't
even see it all
Natalie: here we go, this is the line up
just for people who already have tickets
Natalie: I knew Bill Nye was going to be pretty
popular, especially today given certain things
Natalie: So ya, once again, disability perk,
we don't have to wait in this line,
Natalie: in fact Tim's already waiting in
the theatre way before anyone else.
It's awesome
There were 3 billion people on the Earth when
I was 9
Now there are 7.3 billion, there is going
to be 9 and there is going to be 10 billion people
And everyone's going to want something to
eat, everyone's going to want to live the
way we live in the developing world
And we're not going to be able to do that
without technology that derives from science
and especially that derives from innovation
It's huge, it's huge
You've got to do the hands
It's huge
[audience laughing]
You know we're from the States and I'm
sorry, I'm so sorry
[audience laughing and cheering]
Just understand that when I say that, it's
not just something I say continually
That is to say I'm not Canadian. I'm
sorry, so sorry, I'm sorry
Wow but built into the US system, well its
built into the Canadian system, built in is
change
So stand by, stand by.
It's only May, already
OK, it's going to be fine, everything's
going to be fine
The fossil fuel industry has managed to introduce
the idea that plus or minus 2 percent is somehow
the same as plus or minus 100 percent
And our populous, not just in the US but world
wide has been confused, or doubt has been
introduced through this process
And it's really heartbreaking.
So we have to fight this, and I really believe
this, for the betterment of human kind, for
people of all ages
We have flat earthers now a days, and its
picked up steam
That cracks me up.
Ok are there any flat earth people here?
Just drive to the edge, take some pictures,
and tweet them
You guys, you have got to be freaking kidding
me, come on
Well I wanted to thank you all for a fantastic
film
And Bill I think you are definitely going
to be leaving the world better than you found it
[applause]
Natalie: What, Tim, did you think of the movie?
So I thought Bill Nye Science guy was exactly
what I wanted in a movie about Bill Nye
It was engaging, it was funny, it was infuriating
to watch him debate a bunch of creationists and
Natalie: Climate change deniers
Climate change deniers, there was a good  villain
in the movie, i.e. a climate change denier
Natalie: If you are a fan of Bill Nye this
is basically, obviously a movie you're going to want
to go and see
Natalie: It charts from the making of the
original Bill Nye the Science Guy to what
he's doing currently
Natalie: and it also shows the people who
really have issue with Bill Nye because he's
not without his controversy
No absolutely not, and it also shows those
of us like in my generation who have grown
up with Bill Nye and are now huge fans
And people wanting to take selfies with him
and all sorts of cool stuff so it was a really
good documentary of his life
Natalie: But what was the best part?
So the best part was that we were sitting
in the same row as Bill Nye while watching
a movie about Bill Nye
Natalie: It was pretty incredible.
It's one of the best things about Hot Docs
is that these movies are all usually world premiers
Natalie: so the directors and the filmmakers
are almost always there, and often the subjects
of the films are there
Natalie: and depending on who they are, its
pretty cool
Natalie: we've also seen a panel with George
Takei, after the premiere of the movie about
George Takei, which was amazing
And Oscar the Grouch
Natalie: And the guy who plays Oscar the Grouch
and Big bird, what other celebrities?
Natalie: Oh we saw a movie called Bronx Obama
about a Barack Obama impersonator and he was
there too
Natalie: and we got awesome photos with him
which I will insert here
Natalie: Bill Nye was definitely the highlight
this year and one of the highlights of all
the festivals so far
Yes, yay Bill Nye
Science!
