In the Boogie documentary Mike said, "This is so depressing. I don't want to do another documentary if it's like this."
Who knows if that's true. Maybe he was just hamming up the Boogie documentary, but taking him at his word I think this means two things.
1. The DSP doc will be a comedy.
I don't think this is likely because of a few reasons. He can't clown on Phil too hard because this is his new grift and he wants people to welcome him into his life. He seems to want to be the Louis Theroux of the internet and Louis always kept his tongue held very carefully and would never openly mock on his subjects. Also if he went this route his documentary would be the same as the dozen or so already made about Phil, going over his masturbation incident, WWE Champions etc. He also largely took everything at face value in the Boogie doc, never challenging him or accusing him of lying but just accepting Boogie's narrative as fact and running with it. It doesn't seem like his style to attack the subject or accuse them of lying.
2. The DSP doc will be a heartfelt indie twee character study.
This is what I think. Shots of Phil being embarrassing and a bad streamer accompanied by the human side of him. Phil feeding the ducks to soft ukulele music while he tears up about T. Him raging at his chat or Streetfighter accompanied by shots of him playing with Khet and Jasper in their living room. The gentle oafish Michael Scott character caught up in some bizarre internet whirlpool. It will touch on his alcoholism. Once an edgy badboy slamming rum & cokes and making racist jokes, but now changed, a middle-aged family man who has softened over time and now just wants to have chill fun interactive style streams but is plagued by the sins of his youth. This is the angle I think Mike is most likely to take.
Also as an aside to this, I think he's getting in touch with Derich not to put the pedo stuff on blast, more to be like, "look at this retarded kid with no friends who gets excited for Phil's streams, what a heartwarming tale."
It will be interesting to see Phil in a more human light. Most here won't be swayed because we've seen too much, stared too long into the prestream abyss, and we know what Phil's really all about. But I think some will genuinely be convinced that Phil gets unnecessary amounts of hate and he's just some bumbling sorta goofy guy who fell ass backwards into all this internet shit and doesn't really know how to handle it. I don't think the doc will touch on his finances beyond Phil complaining that he doesn't have enough money. I don't think it'll dig into WWE Champions or the endless PayPal transactions or scamming obviously handicapped people. Phil will stonewall that line of questioning hard and anyway it's not necessary for the kind of documentary I think Mike is trying to make. I think it will be interesting to see Phil in a different light away from his webcam and his bubble-sticky office of insanity. Hopefully we will get to see Khet interactions and some stuff like Phil outside in a nearby park or whatever.
