Oh, and the still image used for the video before you hit play looks like Eliopoulos just learned the big secret plot of the movie ("KRACKOOOM: Legend of the Fallen Letterer") and has turned to the camera, as well as we the audience, in dramatic fashion.

I laughed pretty hard at "Oh this is all my wife."
I like Eliopoulos, he's a sharp guy.
