Sorry for the wait, Mets fans... we hope it's worth it.
We're thrilled to welcome Nick Davis onto the podcast. Davis is the director and producer of Once Upon a Time in Queens, the recent four-part ESPN 30-for-30 documentary on the 1986 Mets.
Davis joins us around the 21-minute mark and talks about the series with us. He discusses his film background and how he's previously crossed the intersection between documentaries and sports. He also talks about his vision for the project, how his own Mets fandom occasionally clouded his judgement during production, and shares some of the stories that were left on the cutting room floor. Nearly half of the series' original rough cut was cut due to runtime restrictions! There's lots more stories to share.
Before he joined us, we talked about the Mets' elimination from postseason contention, Noah Syndergaard's brief return, Jacob deGrom's official shutdown, and catch up on the playoff races around the league.
Davis was an extremely gracious guest and a very fun interview. We covered a lot of ground with him, far too much to describe here. We hope you enjoyed his insights as much as we did. You can follow him on Twitter @NickDavisProds.
Enjoy the episode and we'll see you next week to break down the season's finale.
