Every actor and everybody's like, I like documentaries.

Let's open up a documentary department.

This is Goodwin.

I'm Jesse David Fox, Senior Writer Vulture and author of Comedy Book.

My guest this week is Morgan Neville, easily the most accomplished, prolific, pop culture

documentarian alive.

He's best known for such films as 2018's Oscar-nominated, Won't You Be My Neighbor, and 2014's 20 Feet from Stardom, for which he won both an Oscar and a Grammy. We talk about Lorne, his new documentary about Lorne Michael's, Man on the Run, his new documentary about Paul McCartney, as well as two of my favorite of his documentary, Steve,

his Steve Martin Doc, and Roadrunner, his documentary about Anthony Bordane. The thing about Morgan's career is I am super jealous of it. So here is Morgan Neville. I'm here with Morgan Neville. Thank you for joining me. Thanks for having me. So the first question we ask is, what is the funniest, and most fascinating thing that happened to you this week? I have a movie coming out this week, so everything is a little surreal.

But I did, I had like a peak life experience last week.

Sure.

So maybe I should talk about that. That's probably better.

This is my one chance to tell this story.

I recently did a documentary with a guy named Paul McCartney.

I've heard of him.

And he played these shows in L.A. last week, these kind of two smallish concerts.

And I got a ticket, and I went, and he played a wing song, Jet.

And at the end of it, he he said has anybody seen man on the run

which is my documentary and i said yeah that's cool he said it was directed by morgan neville and

i was like that's cool and he's like i think he's here and he goes can you turn up the lights

and they turn off the spotlight on paul and he's like Morgan where are you?

And I stand up and I'm like, I can't believe this is happening. He's like, you're going to have to sing the next one. And then he went back into plane. And I just thought it's the greatest call out. I was like, I literally thought he's going to bring you on stage. I'll start to get I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll play guitar.

Yeah. So that was a peak life
