I will never not call this film "Fant-Four-Stic" 😂

[@somerandolad]

Neither will I. It's what the movie is called, after all.

[@caesar7734]

Chris Stuckmann refers to it as that

[@BronzeBoy520]

Me too, god intended me to diss this film as Fan4stic.

I imagine Ryan's last pitch meeting being where Producer Guy asks "So you have a movie for me?" and then proceeds to sit there for 15 minutes in complete silence waiting for Scriptwriter Guy to show up, only to remember he finally fired him.

"But for now, this is still what brings me the most joy, so I'm going to keep doing it until that's no longer the case." I'm sure it brings all of us great joy to hear that, Ryan.

As someone who also struggles with enjoying the taste of chocolate and then eating it, learning you have the same condition hit hard. Stay strong Ryan 💪

Likewise, although mine isn't as severe. I only crave dark chocolate.

[@CorruptDB]

I'm like a chocoholic, only I drink booze instead of eat chocolate.

[@WesleyWhiteside]

As a writer, I actually really enjoyed watching you edit your script. It would be cool to see an older draft from a classic Pitch Meeting and see how it changed before you shot it.

[@bucketofsunshine6366]

Agreed. And since I spend ages writing and editing google docs, it's a nice change to see someone else’s process.

[@bestintheband5114]

Agreed (also I was your 69th like)

[@SpongeBathBill]

The editing was NOT boring, it was an awesome window into your creative process and I'd love to see more 😄 And not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but it might even be cool if you re-dubbed a few lines and played them over stills from the original? You could even play them back-to-back with the original snippet, for comparison. Like, "So here's the original again... (15-second snippet) And here's how it would sound with these edits (10-second redub) Do you see how much better that flows?" I realise it would be extra work, but just an idea for you! And thank you for these Revisited episodes, I enjoy them at least as much as the vanilla episodes.

[@bernier42]

I think you got your wish!

[@SpongeBathBill]

@bernier42 heck yeah! 😂

[@HarbingerH]

As a writer, I really appreciated seeing how you edit your script to your updated standards

"You can burn out on something you love and still love it" Good lord thank you for that validation Ryan.

[@Martin_Gark]

I love how honest and down to earth Ryan is

[@d4slaimless]

It is a wrong quote. He said "You can burn out doing something you love even though you lucky to be doing it".

[@NekoRyuukiChan]

Also known as “everyone who works in theatre or entertainment in general”. Some jobs or communities take advantage of your passion, and it’s hard learning that you have to disassociate a bit from something you care about so much.

[@user-gn2nw3np2z]

Yep 21 years in the film biz for me.

[@WobblyBits_X]

I'm so glad you've turned your mic around now. I no longer have to reverse the audio to understand what you're saying.

[@jasonkempton5222]

The google doc editing is riveting. I don't mean engrossing, more like physically watching someone install rivets. When there is a re-visit of a re-visit and there is a play-by-play of what should have been talked about, that will be perfect entertainment.

[@garysmith3037]

So, this is your review of Ryan's riveting re-visit re-editing?

[@elijahfox1929]

I’d actually been very curious about scripts and stuff so this was very interesting and I enjoyed it. Congrats on having being a dad soon.

[@Xandycane]

I enjoyed it too. It was enlightening to see how he approaches editing.

[@bestintheband5114]

Yeah definitely keep it going Ryan!

[@Grasslander]

I understand. I have always been very curious about ice cream, so it's pretty much the same thing.

[@drphot6050]

Same here... I was the kid that wanted the Director's Cuts of films.

[@GizmoFromPizmo]

The line about it being only 2007 was a very funny line. The setup was perfect, "So, it was in the 1990s?" I cracked up when you said, "No, 2007."

[@PanSpaceman]

I wouldn't call it clap-and-cheer entertaining but I'd say it was very neat seeing you edit your old script because it gives insight into how you approach the final product (and obviously people enjoy the final product). It also highlights that in your revisiting you felt the "you said 'do do'" part was untouchable and perfect as is.

[@ketanvaghela7001]

just so you know Ryan, your work is also getting mentioned in other youtube channels (not at all related to comedy too!). I recently saw the super easy barely inconvenience reference in a physics channel. and it's so wholesome! Love your work man. ❤

[@maxbracegirdle9990]

I think the joke about what year it is with the technology the characters use was the funniest one in this script, so im glad you didn't cut that one

[@pg2826]

Yea I would keep it in too

[@naamadossantossilva4736]

Well,it is proof of a blatant lack of care.

[@EdgarRoock]

Just imagine how many other great jokes Ryan must have cut for pacing over those years.

[@twickertoo]

As someone who lived through the ‘90s, I actually really appreciated the “So this takes place in the ‘90s?”/“No, 2007” bit 🙂 I’m glad it wasn’t trimmed in the original 🙂

[@doc-holliday-]

Yea it puts it even more into perspective when you realize 2007 is just 7 years before this movie released. N64s and giant clunky PCs weren't the current items lol

[@SizzIsNotAHumanBeing]

I *LOVED* the writing breakdown. With how funny these come out I never have a chance to remember how much talent and skill is required thru all the laughter 😂 I hope I’m not the only one but I’m definitely wanting more writing breakdowns

[@Danyko33]

Watching you "correct" your script is actually both interesting and helpful to know what the thought process is behind each line, how to deliver as much as possible in the least amount of time, and not to repeat already said things.

[@adrianvanleeuwen]

Ryan's delivery has come a long way since his original pitch meetings. His faster comic pace and funny quips and trademark lines would develop very well over the years to their greatness now!

[@CharlesFerraro]

Yeah his acting skills have increased or he’s more comfortable in front of the camera (prob both).

[@alveolate]

yea he's a lot more expressive now and it comes across as confidence too

[@reanamet1901]

I quite liked the "touching up the old script" part.

[@laseede17]

Me too! Maybe a little too fast and, in honor of the movie, not much payoff. It would've been good to make a quick edit of how the new scene would be compared to the old one.

[@billby]

I also liked it and I want to help bump up this comment for visibility. So I'm leaving a reply here...too...Because I enjoyed the "touching up of the old script" part. Well. My work here is done, I suppose.

[@apollohateshisdayjob9606]

​@@laseede17I liked the addition, but I think doing a quick edit (I'm guessing you mean something like a producer guy short) to show us how it would look may undermine a bit of why he's doing Revisited, since it's supposed to be an easy quick video to give more breathing room for his main videos. I think editing the DOC is a good middle ground, since it's more visual and specific than him vaguely saying what scene he would want to improve.

[@fatrunner]

Touching up in front of others is tight!

[@lordfly88]

The best part of this was hearing that there is no end in sight for pitch meetings 😀

[@Ellicess]

Loved the script editing section! It’s really interesting to see behind the scenes stuff like that and get pointers 😁

RYAN...PLEASE DON'T LEAVE. Your Pitch Meetings are epic and unique. I've found myself literally in tears laughing at them. I often search for pitch meetings for some movies that deserve them. Keep em coming 🙂

[@jtenos]

I’m glad this still brings you joy because it definitely does for all of us. Entertaining, and also a real service - there have been many movies that I just am not ever going to watch, but I appreciate a 5 minute plot summary to validate my decision.

[@JJ_R]

This Pitch Meeting was fantastic, not fant4stick, so it’s automatically better!

[@Tautolonaut]

The Pitch Meeting was in fact fanfivestic

[@andrewcox4166]

I really like the rewrite bits here! Wasn’t boring at all - actually not even an inconvenience. There are few channels with videos under ten minutes that I bother with but you do excellent work and it’s been fun watching you go back over the older material and update it. Keep up the great work man!

[@llarmstrong783]

It was an inconvenience, but just barely 😊

[@Aryan-dr5ix]

"I can't be expected to know basic things" I'm gonna use this. Thank you👍🏼

[@RyanFloom]

Watching the old pitch meetings is cool to see how far Ryan has come with finding his footing for these. They sound a bit more serious in the past and are even funnier now with how he makes them talk

[@TheLivingThanos]

I thank Ryan for bringing attention to the Eating Chocolate and other Sweet Stuff syndrome. Most people don't know what this is and thus can't understand us. Truly One of the Best KZbinr of our generation 😢😢

[@attiasprouse682]

Hey Ryan. You probably won't read this, but I really did enjoy your rewrite segment. It wasn't boring at all. I like listening to your thought process and seeing older scripts get the gold standard we've come to know and love. I hope you keep doing these script rewrites for the revisited episodes. P.S. There's no shame in indulging in some chocs. Parenting is tough. Adulting is tough. Life is tough. Get your chocs on. I'll send you even more chocs if I could. :)

[@whitewalker9862]

I'm sorry Ryan. No exit strategy for you. I'm so addicted to Pitch Meetings for years that I can't imagine not having it anymore. Hopefully you'll do this forever.

Johnny got fire powers because fire got in his suit, Ben turns into the thing because rocks got in his suit, Reed gets all stretchy because he was wearing a condom. Makes as much sense as the rest of this movie.

Have been watching your videos for years, they bring me and my friends lots of joy! I say “super easy, barely an inconvenience” unironically at work all the time. Thanks for bringing your humor to life with these videos!

[@kartoffelkuchen1992]

Who else would love for Ryan to reshoot a pitch meeting during one of these where he keeps the dialogue exactly the same and has the new energy and delivery?

[@appletree3541]

I was thinking it would be fun to see him redo a script and record it without having looked at what he did a decade ago And then compare

[@RosaMartinez-fg4ku]

That sounds like a great idea!

[@Mokeman17]

That would be really fun to watch

[@nerdin8or]

[@DreadedVikingPenguin]

I'm always amazed by how sedate you are in these earlier videos. The writer guy and producer guy we see in the current pitch meetings look like they've been corrupted by an Eldritch horror with those rictus grins and I love it.

It's really good to know that Pitch Meeting brings you a lot of joy. It seems like the kind of thing that could feel really repetitive and grindy to do, so it's nice to know that you have fun with it.

[@stevenpecksen2901]

I really enjoyed the editing segment! Thank you for taking us on that journey and showing us a peek into your process! (said the aspiring writer)

[@nicolathomas2274]

I absolutely love the work you do - thank you so much for brightening our lives with these brilliant pitch meetings. A few films I would really love to see you do pitch meetings for (Please and thank you): The Thing (1982) The Invitation (2022) Labyrinth (1986) Saw (2004) Pet Sematary (either version or both... might be interesting to see a PM double feature that looked at the original and it's remake) Priest (2011) Doom (2005) The Craft (1996) Also, I did like the script editing aspect - it would certainly be interesting to see any jokes that didn't make the final cut.

[@balancedboys]

You say "it's boring" but actually it is very insightful for new writers/content creators. To check and cut down their work before moving on to the next step is valuable! It will literally stop postproduction headaches from happening, especially after you've already shared it with the world. And it's good to see that practice done by a well-seasoned content creator such as yourself. So take note creatives! This is a great gift that Ryan is giving with these "Revisited" videos. Thank you, sir!

[@kylemccormack1785]

I really liked seeing the script and how you might change it years later, doesn't need to be in every single "revisited" or you can always keep it fairly brief, but it's not boring the way you did it as a small part of the video like you did here.

[@Fwuzeem]

The script editing is cool, do it again on another revisited!

[@stevedenny7887]

As someone who enjoys writing and the creative process, I have to say the part where you went through the script and highlighted the changes you would make was extremely engaging. I enjoy getting to peer into someone else's thought process behind their creative decisions; it's always interesting to see what thoughts go into the decisions that are ultimately made, so please keep doing this in future "Revisited" videos.

Would honestly watch a video of you just fully going through the process of how you write these scripts/editing them or just other forms of video that could be great white noise as I work on my own writing.
