Louis CK on Paul Thomas Anderson 

Imagine if Louis had a podcast where he chatted with directors like PTA and Tarantino

@@vilefiend9603tarantino and louis fighting for time to talk would be a sight to see

So could Louis CK

@@colinmichels I think Louie had some coke or meth before that discussion because he never even takes a breath.

@@MrArtdelgado210 He probably hadn't jerked off on a potted plant that day, so he was a little wound up.

Listen to his O&A radio episode where he talks about "The Piano Teacher" If you didn't already think of him as a perverted weirdo after his SA allegations coming to light, his take on the film will cement any doubt. That said he does have some interesting commentary and a little experience in film making that gives some insight into the film makers process.

⁠@@FedSmoker64I agree with him being a weirdo but I don’t think that his commentary on the Piano teacher was foreshadowing of that. He was just describing the movie. And the movie was good- I watched it cause of his recommendation. You’re missing a bit of nuance. He did a very bad, creepy, carnal thing. And he is currently suffering from it. Instead of going back in the last look what he says now on recent podcasts. He got arrogant, elitist, and he thought that he was the smartest guy in the room and he tried to intellectualize his deviant behavior as he was doing it. The best one is from a year or so ago when he was on “Theo Von’s podcast” It’s a great listen. I still respect him as an artist- But is he a weirdo- yes. But it’s more complicated and nuance than the public thinks. It’s not defending him it’s just being honest about a very bad thing that another human being did.

@@jonaschamp9894 awww man... ive only recently started watching louis content. Ive found it fascinating watching it all after everything came out. theres lots of stuff that makes me feel like he wasnt really hiding it. but i guess hindsight is 20/20 and all that. that theo von interview sounds interesting but youtube has be spamming me theos stuff recently on auto play ( i guess hes getting really popular) so ive got a bit annoyed. if i watch it its gonna spam me even more. All hail the algo but thanks for the recommendation :) have a good one

@@jonaschamp9894 I think you're right, and his description did peak my interest in the films he talked about but I have no yet seen. I saw his Theo Von podcast and he did a good job explaining his circumstances but as a fellow weird pervert, I feel he is just stable enough to say the things we want to hear. I get the feeling there is a darker side of the story he won't admit to. You don't do something like that without a degree of degeneracy (and the expectation of what happened). It would appear from his perspective that it was done "unpainfully" for a lack of a better word, but that is only his perspective. And an old quote I first heard from Patrice O'neal "There are three sides to a story. Yours, mine and the truth" What he did doesn't seem malicious, but isn't something that should have happened and will leave a stain no matter how many times it is washed. I agree he has been overhyped by his peers and grown an ego from that. His early/mid 2000s work was successful because he was the downtrodden broken everyman. He seems to be losing that. Which may be better for his mental being, but doesn't do much for me as a viewer trying to relate.

@@FedSmoker64Man that was very concise, and I honestly cannot refute a word. Touché my friend. We seem to be of the same animal. When you threw in that Patrice O’Neal quote I thought to myself “Fair enough.” Great response. Can not disagree

I think that shooting in 4k looks bad most of the time. The hypersharp resolution and detail just makes everything look like a Hollywood set to me.

@@doltcart except in parasite. It looked incredible.

It's from my movie podcast with joe list

I think that's the great mystery of the best movies - no one can quite say _why_ it's so great! (like with any art)

Me too man

Yeah, you're right but, honestly, Dr Steve Brule is a worthy mention. It's silly but his performance can't be replicated by anyone.

@@miguelmonsivais1474 Can you tell me why Step Brothers is beloved because I remember watching that film for the first time and I really don’t get why people find that movie funny because it’s literally one joke of 40 year olds acting children and it’s also very mean spirited and little too gross out for my own taste.

@@maxtubb8560 oh, I dunno. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about Dr Steve Brule on the Tim and Eric show. But even if step brothers is too silly for your taste, it doesn't mean that other tastes are less than yours. Just means it's not your thing and that's ok.

@@miguelmonsivais1474 I do love comedy films and the comedy it’s just I don’t think movies like Step Brothers should be lumped with comedy classics like Some Like it Hot or Blazing Saddles. Regarding Tim and Eric I have mixed feelings on that show because on one hand I will admit that some of their skits do give me a laugh but on the other hand their style humor predicted Gen Z Hunor which is a style of humor I can not stand.

@@maxtubb8560 ok, that's fine. But Riley's performance as Steve Brule is worth mentioning. That's all I'm saying.

It is!!

No one talks about Inherent Vice or Licorice Pizza for a reason.

Because it was PTA's worse movie (still pretty good compared to most movies though).

​@@AgentGrimi didn't know he did punch drunk love. Can't stand that movie. Licorice is entertaining and has some rewatchability value.

​@@Nifavalicorice pizza is better than phantom thread and inherent vice. Maybe better than the master too. Those are all great but LP is sublime

Appropriate, fitting >> comfortable, reassuring

@@mrkeoghpenis>>>>big penis>>>>> downfall.

I just re-watched it the other night and still couldn't remember the ending. I had to look it up after your comment.

Pootie Tang is an underrated gem!! Not even joking I love that stupid damn movie.

Same here

YEAH. RIGHT. YEA

It's edited you retard

😂 It becomes so comical how many times the interviewer tries to get more than a SINGLE word in on Louis’ rant. I thought maybe they edited them out, but it clearly wasn’t because there wasn’t a break in Louis’ ranting AT ALL

@@LeonSKennedy7777 it was indeed edited

@@watchfighting571 ah, I see. Very well done then because it’s hard to notice big jumps in Louis’s trains of thought

😂 LOL

​@@LeonSKennedy7777 It was edited so we only hear Lious speak. The other people speaking were cut out in order to focus on Louis and what he had to say.

Would rule

Check him out on the mssp podcast if you havent, talkin about Presidents for hours.

I liked Louis more when I didn't know his politics.

Nope, just a driven billionaire 1897 and his hole

Rob ager is

I agree, but Burr is the odd one out in this list, I'd replace him with Adam McKay maybe

Patton Oswalt would set himself on fire before he risked his twitter cred by appearing on a fun roundtable with Louis CK.

Bill Burr doesn’t know fuck about movies.

Holy shit, imagine Louis and Bill Hader working on a movie together.

Don’t really need Patton on that table. He’s really gone the way of the spineless over time.

It ended up winning the Oscar for Best Picture up against There Will Be Blood. They were widely considered the front runners that year and if not for No Country TWBB would’ve taken it.

@@billycrystals9185 ahhh, thank you. Now I’m tracking.

The vast majority of great filmmakers' movies have plenty of themes and ideas in common. Andrew Sarris called it their "golden bar". Another way to say it: All these guys basically just make the same movie over and over and over again. It's a good thing. Most of PTA's movies are about improvised families. In the foreground. There's a lot of varied thematic stuff going on in the background.

Never is with Louis

Haha was thinking the same thing

@@watcherofthewest8597 I say let him hog the airtime. he's way more interesting to listen to than any of these 2-bit podcast people

You know this is edited, right? This episode was over two hours long.

You know these clips are edited right

Yeah and maybe point out to him that PTA didn't direct No Country For Old Men.

@@samdeakins7176 Ha! Right?

That one is so hard to watch. The characters; storyline; lighting; production, everything about it I can't stand. Music probably stinks too.

No clue

Who?

@@classiclife7204 Th Opie and Anthony show.

In terms of hearing Louie converse with other people, his appearances on O&A are about as good as you’re going to get

@@Woozlewuzzleable Thanks!

If you listen to the full podcast, you'll be grateful for this

@@simontaylor2525 oh fair enough ahah what’s the full podcast sorry? I’ll have to check it out
