Every time I watch this section I learn something new. It's a great series and this one in particular, about film, articulates some really interesting points about where ideas come from, the recycling and regurgitation of these ideas. And 'sorry about colonialism' has got to be the best type of film genre ever. You can donate to Everything's a Remix here, I haven't yet but I will, promise.
Rather fittingly, of course, Kirby the author isn't writing anything new. Lev Manovich has been writing about remix culture for more than a decade and Wired mag released an issue back in 2005 called Remix Planet. As is with most things, it all ties in with Roland Barthes, "the text is a tissue of quotations drawn from the innumerable centre's of culture."
