Does it feel different to be out there by yourself?
I mean obviously it's like, much higher consequence.
People who know a little bit about tense documentaries
they're like, oh she's safe.
But people who know exactly what she's doing are freaked out.
She's watching "Free Solo" on Hulu by herself.
She doesn't even know how it ends.
I've thought about watching "Free Solo" on Hulu
ever since it won the Oscar, and I've always thought--
(video: "that's really scary")
That's really scary.
I'll just never be content until I know
if it was better than "Won't You Be My Neighbor."
Obviously you get asked all the time like,
would you want to see that movie?
And you're like, yes, for sure.
Once it's out on Hulu or something.
So you have a boyfriend now, I heard.
It's really hard for me to grasp why she wants this.
Y'know, I saw it in theaters with a bunch of friends
so we could grab onto each other's arms.
Like, it's serious stuff.
What if the guy in the movie falls?
That'd be spooky.
It's just so dangerous.
Every person who has made watching "Free Solo" on Hulu
a big part of their lives is dead now.
What?
It's probably unrelated, because it's a movie.
No, no.
It's "Free Solo."
I've always felt conflicted about shooting a film about someone watching "Free Solo" on Hulu
just because it's so scary.
The movie, not rock climbing.
Oh, well, the rock climbing also. Yeah.
It's just like, what if something happens to her?
What if she falls asleep?
Or if the wifi goes out, and then the movie gets paused?
What if the guy in the movie falls?
She'd get so spooked.
Right, he doesn't fall. He doesn't fall.
I saw the movie. I saw the damn movie, he doesn't fall.
If the movie exists obviously he didn't fall, but it's just hard to remember that when you're watching it.
It's hard to not imagine your friend being freaked out about
watching the original filmmakers watch their friend
possibly fall through the frame to his death.
Is that - is that confusing?
I - I lost it.
Hold on, what is this movie?
I can't believe you're actually watching this.
She's starting to watch.
Oooooooh shit.
