Hell yeah and it’s been amazing. Amy Lee has posted that she thinks he’s a genius and also it turns out Captain Sully is very much still alive and really confused. The fact that he’s still alive and Nathan did all this instead of just talking to the guy is pretty amazing.

He also built the airport and filled it with stalker-actors before discovering that the pilots don’t even talk to each other before getting into the cockpit, which he’d already had made.
Obviously it’s gonna have a use later in the series but at this point in the narrative it was all pointless.
If it doesn’t come up later it’s a good understated joke, if it does it’s whatever that could be and at this point I have no idea what The Wizard of Lonliness will conjure. Kor said it in season 1, but I’ll say it for a casting thing, Nathan Fielder would make an amazing Willy Wonka and it’s too bad they went the standard direction with adapting it and hired Tim Chalet. Digressing aside, I’m happy with whatever he had my absolute faith. He’s really tapped into something over the course of doing what he’s done. I’m a generally more outgoing person and love to chit chat with strangers and the way Nathan has manged to generally humanize random ass people while also showing the weird vulnerabilities people tend to have at the tip of their tongue and has sharpened it to a social scalpel. People are neat. Sometimes they drink their own pee, sometimes they drink the grandson’s pee, some crashed their scion TC at 100 miles per hour, some are banned from every dating site (ewww but ya gotta show everyone), some know the truth about haloween and some exorcist real estate agents are doing something about it. There is an empathetic vibe to the whole thing. There’s an undercurrent of really caring in a way most people don’t but presenting it in a really weird way. There’s 8ish billion really weird fuckers out there and all it really takes is a camera crew and a few prompts to bring it out of most

That’s what I really want to know. Did he reach out to Sullenberger at any point? I feel like it would be REALLY in his style to make this entire episode, then bring Sullenberger in to watch the tape and give feedback/commentary on Nathan recreating his own life.
I’m wondering if Sullenberger just declined to be involved or if they truly never contacted him before it aired. That’d be absolutely wild if the first time Sullenberger found out about this was 2 nights ago when it aired.
I agree. I think if Sullenberger had agreed to be on it would have been at the end of episode 3. I’m just wondering if they tried to get him and he declined, if they asked his permission at all, or if Sullenberger was totally in the dark about the whole thing until it aired.

this is like the premise of the show since season 1. it all started with a guy who couldnt just talk to his friend

I doubt they’ll bring him on, they don’t usually continue this kind of bit beyond its episode.
