Okay, we have got to talk about this Michael Jackson movie.

From the New York Times, I'm Michael Barrow.

This is The Daily.

Oh, my God, that was like the greatest fucking movie I have ever seen.

Oh, my God, like, I love this man.

The obsession I have right now with Michael Jackson is just so unreal.

The record-shattering box office success of Michael, the new biopic about Michael Jackson.

I have not stopped thinking about it.

Like, every time I talk to my friends, I'm like, dang, I can't wait to get off the phone with y'all so I can listen to Michael Jackson.

He was so majestic and just like a beautiful human being.

I'm genuinely appreciating Michael Jackson as a whole more than I thought I ever would.

And the outpouring of love for the late musician that the movie has unleashed was no accident.

Instead, it was the culmination of a painstaking,

years-long effort to resurrect the reputation and profitability of the king of pop,

despite the multiple accusations of sexual abuse that have surrounded him for decades.

Today, Times Magazine writer Mark Bonelli takes us inside the new playbook for rewriting the past.

It's just not the same about him.

It's Friday, May 8th.

Oh, I miss him so much.

Mark, welcome to The Daily.

Thanks for having me.

You are not a movie critic.
