Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Schmitt pioneered the German-language film essay format that dominated late-2010s YouTube criticism, directly inspiring dozens of copycat channels.

Trivia

Sievers and Schmitt had previously collaborated on a short where Schmitt analyzed his own analysis videos—this documentary is the third layer of that meta-obsession.
