I think that Mike's direction is to try and get close access to the subjects instead of just doing a video about someone without their permission using clips.
If Phil’s actual fans weren’t all dented outcasts, he could interview some of them. Interviewing detractors would be boring. We know where they stand already.
 
Its odd that DSP says it would be filled with his past stuff that he says he doesn't want to be associated with anymore, which I kind of get, but if the whole point of the documentary was to show how much he's changed and how he's a more positive individual, I don't see how that would be a bad thing to include. Besides didn't Clum say in the Gundam interview that DSP would have total control and final say of over how the whole thing would go down? I don't know DSP is just lazy as fuck.

I thought this part was odd. Most of his past stuff is known, is it not? Is there something big that isn't known that freaked him out? That could be the thing that "broke the camels back".

Honestly his justification for bailing was all over the place. He couldn't stay on point and threw every reason possible out there as the reason to bail.

Dave ultimately said it was because of a recent happening, after his usual filibustering for a half hour.

He also mentioned old Street Fighter drama, maybe he contacted Jaha.

We also know from the Gundam interview that Mike is in contact with Scopely.

Mike, please just continue anyway and state Phil declined to be involved.
I thought he should do this to at first then I came around to the opinion that the resulting product would be a substantial departure from Mike Clum's documentary style. A non-DSP-involved DSP documentary also risks frustrating the expectations the Boogie2988 documentary cemented with his audience. Mike seems to want to give his main productions a genuinely immersive look at the lives of his subjects and without Phil's involvement that just doesn't seem possible. A nice spin-off of the pitfalls of making documentaries seems like a worthwhile complementary, though.
 
If you're hoping he'll just do the docu without DSP, that's probably unlikely. He's so early into his work that if he starts doing pieces that are hostile, he'd lose access, which was the big selling point in his Boogie documentary. Basically, he has to make videos that the subjects think are fair in order for people featured in future work to feel safe with him in their space.

I would unironically want to hear Derish justify his weird shit. It's like going to a zoo to watch the chimpanzees throw their shit, it'll be entertaining at least once.

All his old stuff is known; the problem is it being presented by weirdos on YouTube who don't have a claim to legitimacy. At least according to Phil, even though everything he's ever done and said has been documented on his own YouTube channel. He'll tell his audience to stay away from those weirdos and to come to him as a legitimate source, because all those videos have been very selective to paint him in a negative light. I'm guessing Phil finally realized that agreeing to a documentary and even taking part in it, would be hanging himself. I mean, he could say Mike clummed it up and misrepresented and all that other shit; but probably couldn't get past the taking an active part in it.

You're right that the collective Internet knows most of it, but Kat may not. It's one thing to brush off claims about his income, gambling, drinking, etc. when they are coming from sources he can dismiss as trolls or conspiracy theorists, it's another to try and explain away those exact same accusations when they are coming from a guy he insisted was legit.

Or we're overthinking this and he's just scrambling because Mike made it clear it wouldn't be the puff piece he was expecting. Remember, Phil's threshold for "unfair" is comically low.

I dunno, I am curious if he will just use what he has now and expound on that. "Whats he hiding" is a pretty good angle for a documentary.
