and the best I could come up with was that I think it's one of the sweetest documentaries of male platonic friendship that I've ever seen.
YES that is it EXACTLY. Their true affection for each other is like an extra in every scene.
(And yes, I agree, pretty much all of it is my favorite part. Even Brendon's "I was operating under the delusion we would never break up" from the beginning, which just breaks my heart and makes me want to hug him at the same time. Oh, baby.)
I also think it's interesting just how much of Brendon and Spencer's characterizations fandom seems to have gotten right. Obviously, people are complex and complicated, but it surprised me in a few places just how close it was.
Yes, again, EXACTLY. Mainly I thought this odd resonance was an indicator of how little artifice is involved in their public presentation - like they are who they are all the time, pretty much.
