How @dropout got @GameChangerShorts on The Rookie
Mashable's busiest video right now is not one of this week's. It is Vic Michaelis and Jacquis Neal, two familiar faces from Dropout's comedy shows, telling entertainment editor Kristy Puchko how Sam Reich got Game Changer onto The Rookie, the ABC police drama starring Nathan Fillion. Sixteen days in, it has passed 1.7 million views, the kind of total an interview clip on this channel rarely reaches. Its companion, on why Reich greenlit Crowd Control before the pilot even aired, sits close behind among the channel's busiest.
The week itself brought three new uploads. Puchko returned with a longer conversation, Erin Lee Carr on her Hulu documentary The Swan: Behind the Mirror, a look back at the 2000s makeover show and a reunion with its contestants. Carr, whose earlier films include Britney vs Spears, talks through interviewing the show's producers and doctors and how to film body horror without exposing the women who lived it.
The other two are the same red-carpet moment cut twice: Dominic West and Sienna Miller on the first episode of HBO's War, where Miller's character is served divorce papers in front of the cameras. Miller says that in real life she would have fled to a bathroom to cry.
Overall the channel moved at about half its usual daily pace, and subscribers held steady. Among similar movie and TV channels, the big week belonged to 酱sir电影局, while Mashable sat near the quiet end, alongside Hello Future Me.
