Natasha Lyonne | The Blocks Podcast w/ Neal Brennan | EPISODE 12 

She is definitely one of the most literate/articulate actors I've ever seen.

Damn, Natasha Lyonne! What an absolute gem. Such a creative and intelligent and thoughtful human, amazing!

"It's OK not to be a resolved human being." That hit hard.

Natasha Lyonne talking off the top of her head is like a Spalding Gray monologue. She is going to be an awesome old lady.

Every week, I let out an actual cheer when I see the guest

My jaw hit the floor when I saw Natasha’s name. Legend.

35:40-39:00 Natasha is literally talking about being validated in a number of ways: emotionally, psychologically, intellectually and how great that feels after spending her childhood , teens, and young adults yrs feeling invalidated. This is something that isn’t discussed but a huge part of what we need as people to live fully and be present.

never seen Natasha on a pod, loved Russian Doll amongst other things she's done.

Easily the best episode yet. That was really great. I love the part about “OD corner” and experiencing time disorientation. Didn’t realize that was something other people felt outside déjà vu and general nostalgia.

She's a fking poet ❤ What a beautiful soul.

"...Because I'm 22..." *Neil laughs* 🤣💀

"It;s OK to not be a resolved human being". Thank you to Natasha Lyonne and Neal Brennan for that insite and the invitation to be who I've always been.

Normally not the commenting type but you can tell this is someone whose spent a lot of time thinking and being creative.

Sometimes I can’t believe that’s her real voice 😆 it’s so distinct and for a whole I wasn’t sure if it was just part of characters. Kinda fun how it’s evolved, I love watching stuff from when she was younger and hearing basically a whole different voice

“It’s okay to not be a fully resolved human being.” Gold

"I don't wanna be an advertisement for anything, I just think that life is so tricky that you never know" True and wise words Natasha, I feel that way too, I can absolutely identify with that!!

wow loved this conversation and love her so much

The game show ding at the mention of a block is so hilarious to me. I fully love it!

Can't express enough how much I love her ❤️. Her energy is very lovely and positive. She's so intelligent en open minded. 😍

Her love language is the film of the 70s and her hairstyle is the 2020s Mary Hartman; sounds like the 3rd place is describing external circumstances combining with a very intense dopamine release. Such a great episode. Thanks Neil, Natasha and crew (who does the editing? fun & clever moments following dialogue esp. the weird loop!). The Roky Erickson reference and application of the lyric resonated huge for me.

This is the show I've been looking for.

Natasha has always been an incredible actress but I have to say her hair style is incredible!!! So cool to see this personal side of her as well... Keep it up Neil 🙏🙌

What an amazing conversation.

This was Brilliant and extremely relatable. Thank you for this.

she is quite possibly the coolest person alive. big s/o to neal cause the champs is my favorite podcast ever and he has another great one on his hands here.

man she's so cool, and right about that whole "pause" thing. getting old only sucks because we can extrapolate where it leads

'this... trouble-spot of personhood' so good. what more needs to be said

How do you not love Natasha Lyonne. This personality type is difficult to manage or live with, but as a friend... endless love, joy and inspiration.

Poker Face is deffo one of the best 5 things I've seen this past year. Great fun.

Poker Face turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. Binge watched it in two nights.

Few things are more gratifying than making someone you respect laugh.

I remember her from *Everyone Says I Love You.* I am thrilled to see her continue to reap the rewards of her hard work.

Three episodes into Poker Face and loving it.

I love her voice! The tone, but also the substance ❤

girl can talk! she seems like the coolest friend that none of us hav

Excited for this episode!❤

this was a fantastic conversation! wow! Thanks!

But I am a cheerleader as well; an inimitable film that only Natasha could have made as good as it is.

This was one of the best podcast episode i’ve ever listened. Thank you very much!!

What an awesome episode. Needed to hear a lot of this at this point in my life. Thank you for doing this pod 💫🙏

I’m so excited to watch this!

Favorite one so far from. Blocks. Love her spirit

Look at this. Two of some of my favorite people ❤

love already. thank you for this today. been having a tiring time with ailing parents. but look forward to some of these for a moments respite

Wish this was twice as long! Great episode and Natasha is FASCINATING ❤

She is such a fiery force of nature and I love the hell out of her. 😃❤️

The peacock bit lives rent free in my mind now.

Every week I love this podcast more and more :’)

Laughed way too hard at the PEACOCK bit lol😅😂😂

Loved this interview

I love that she is natural looking, no lip fillers etc.

Wow. While this is not what I expect (nor maybe want?) from a comedy podcast; man I'm glad this turned out deep and insightful like it did.

"The turn is out there right now doing pushups"... Lines like this are a big part of why I listen to this podcast... Neal's throwaway jokes that are better than what most people can write

Great perspective, great episode.

Every episode a banger so far

Awesome Neal! Just keep doing it.

Best one yet.

INCREDIBLE!

This may be one of the greatest conversations I’ve been able to be a fly on the wall for ❤

I have always loved Natasha. So happy to see her still doing great. What an amazing person!

If Neal goes any farther center with that side part it’s going to officially be on the other side.

What a fantastic guest

Never realised natasha was so interesting. Blown away by her.

I feel heard. Thank you. ❤

Can relate. I checked out a copy of naked lunch at the university in 2001 and started making decisions like this. Long road back from that path

Omg ❤ never have been more excited to see your podcast than when I saw my girl crush’s name pop up❤️🔥

Please keep bringing the claw back

Wuuuuttt thank you!!!+

Thanks Neal love Natasha and Poker Face.

She is such a powerful bright light of presence fr fr

Second time listening cause I love this one

amazing!

I absolutely love Natasha!

I feel like I'm in a K hole listening to this. So deep.

Natasha you're amazing!

~ I so appreciate and relate to Natasha’s story, regarding “the dark night of the soul” period of her life. Dare I say, I’m coming out of that stage … myself. That meta experience of addiction is spot on. It’s comforting to hear someone articulate this perspective; it’s a unique point of view I haven’t heard explored, before. The narc in too deep metaphor - yadda yadda, perfect. 👌

She’s amazing

This one was relatable in a not totally uncomfortable but still kinda uncomfortable way.

Omfg so excited to watch this later 🐣🌈🐣🌈

I saw The Slums of Beverly Hills in the theater too.

She’s amazing and smart, such an inspiration. And funny! I think she should have played Elizabeth Wurtzel

Natasha has such a Louise Lasser doppelgänger vibe in this interview.

Love she's not scared of the word

The idea of pausing time has been a fantasy of mine. I’m midlife and would love to pause here for 5 years to just gain experiences and calm the f down too 😂

My #1 celebrity crush. That was a great chat.

Neal does kill it!

Best theme song in the game!!!

my favorite snd only actress in the entire world

I have always loved natasha.❤

i legit didnt recconize her at first bcuz i was so used to the movie view, hair etc. idk. i was immediately like omg love the red hair, whoa nice voice, very attactive, who is this, then that movie pic came on i stopped the video then i could see after. i hope this was a compliment. it was a pleasurable surprise, shes always been gorgeous. ill be honest i think i didnt know the name well. so that was it. but because of that, my intial first impression was changed, not in any good or bad way. just like seeing someone for first time with out your previous preconceptions of things you've seen them in or maybe you knew in person back in the day, super interesting start. honestly more of a fan cuz i didnt have that "oh its this person (celebrity)" it was just oh heres a human i find really cool. and thats permanent. once i saw, which was pretty quick. and it can never go back. my view of her. that alone shown a side of her i may not of seen cuz i grew up with all the movie personas in my head. again not good bad better or worse it just ADDED to what was already there. ANYWAY! loved the show, Neal. loved you on the show Natasha, related to many things you spoke of. cheers :)

What a crazy duo, never thought I'd see Natasha here but I'm extremely happy about this. Thank you Neal!

It's amazing that you have a podcast with a ton of episodes for the sole purpose of plugging your netflix special. jk much love, great show and guests.

Love it..

i cannot be the only one who watched this thinking the whole time "these two have definitely hooked up"

Love her!

Been crushing on this girl for like 20 years. Sharp and stupid hot.

Blocks Rocks!

I couldn't be bothered to watch a couple episodes of your hit show, so I'm going to just speculate about it for five minutes

I need a version of Curb Your Enthusiasm with her where she’s a grouch to everything

Yup, thanks, I'm into her definitely!
