This person is smoking crack. Most likely they captured the video with
a bttv card that ruins the chroma, or did some messed up cropping
prior to encoding. Do you have a contact email for this person so I
can let them know what they're doing wrong and ask them to take down
the misleading recommendations?

That's because their content is broken. Pullup is not helping at all
-- pp=md alone would have done just as well for their purpose.

Then this means pullup is not working on your content. Probably it's
not telecined material!!!

Yes, but is it 60i video or telecined 24p movie?
