Why Rhett and Link are Making a TV Show (On Their Own Terms)
On February 6, comedy duo Rhett and Link uploaded a video titled "We're Done." After a decade-plus of trying to pitch film projects to traditional Hollywood studios, they announced that they're opting instead to produce a TV-style show with the team they've built at Mythical...and distribute it directly through their YouTube channel. A couple weeks later, Publish Press writer Nate Graber-Lipperman went to Mythical's studio in Burbank to learn more about the show — and talk to Rhett and Link about their complicated history with Hollywood. This interview was part of "The Year Creators Went Hollywood," the cover story for The Publish Paper: Volume 2. It's a 28-page print zine we made that features original stories, artwork, and photography — get your copy here.
