First Pass Edit: MR252 - 2019 Retrospective

Added 2020-01-06 00:29:08 +0000 UTC

This FPE has a runtime of 40:37, only... let's say 26.7% of our footage was used in the episode (the stats get a little weird when using a ton of clips from other videos).

This was a real last minute effort that I pushed for, largely in an effort to help us with a scheduling issue that we've run up against, and it seemed like a good opportunity to reflect on the past year and see what we excelled at and regressed in. We were making a lot of it up as we went, as you'll see in this FPE and I'm sure comes as no surprise to anybody, but I did compile some stats beforehand and tried to get a feel for what resonated with our viewers via twitter/instagram/reddit. That's what was printed out on the papers the guys occasionally read from.

I feel like we maybe didn't get as introspective as I was hoping, to really analyze what ideas we had that worked and what flopped, but sometimes you work with what you get. The finished episode hasn't done wild numbers, but I pretty much expected as much since there isn't a lot of appeal to a clip show for non-subscribers. I still think it's important to recognize our efforts from time to time and allow ourselves to celebrate the finished product. It played primarily to our core audience, and hopefully we reminded you of some good times or got you to notice something you missed along the way.
