May 2nd, 2025: Every year I go to Toronto's Hot Docs film festival where I get to see a lot of documentary films.  I've been doing it this year too!  My hot documentary film take is FAR too many directors think they don't need a narrator when they absolutely need a narrator, and NO, playing audio from an interview DOES NOT COUNT.  Narrate your documentaries!!  This concludes my hot take on the medium of documentary film, thank you!! One year ago today: i changed "puts their child down" to "sets their child down" in the first panel: such is my commitment to not leading you down incorrect garden path sentences! – Ryan
