The Cocaine Culture of New Hollywood | Paul Schrader on The Adam Friedland Show 

I will never understand people who actively pursue and prefer coke/crack. It is something i only do if i have absolute no other options. If railing lines gets you "fucked up" then I got this new invention over here to sell you. It's called Red bull bro it will seriously get you soooo high bro

@@6tiple6ix6afia Not sure how old you are. Coke in the 70's and 80s was very different from today's crap. I can guarantee a few lines of coke he was doing back then would change your mind.

​@dylanharding6859 Good cocaine is a beautiful thing.The bad stuff is what's ruined it 😊

He directed his last movie on oxygen

Cigarettes

Don't mind if I do ​@@d.akhtar9080

The glorious results of his chemical romance

That's a better line than any you will find in a Shcrader film. So maybe coke ain't that great. It sure doesn't make you smarter.

Yeah but sometimes he also giggles like a cute little girl, fueling the conversation

ahh he did alright

Interviewer is so annoying

@@DrVonNostrand It’s not an interview lmfao

@@yougotsomemoneyformeboy5297 you don't understand subtle semantics lmfao

The thumbnail sure looks like him. LawlZ.

Friedland has a lot of Hollywood connections through his people.

Genius

Literally

The talmudic network

​@@Musso88They all go to the same child rituals 😂

sorry can u explain this comment more?

@@gregdahlen4375 It’s a major psychological stimulant. There’s a reason why it’s the drug of choice for white collar executives in high stakes businesses and people in super fast paced, high stress industries like restaurants. It makes you energetic, focused and confident, not spaced out or dopey like many other drugs.

​@@gregdahlen4375 ge is saying that the opposite is true, you can be super focused... and based on my experience he is correct.

its an individual matter, nobody gets the exact same high from the same drugs

No he's right. It depends. Idk if it's my ADHD or what, but. It would sometimes do the same to me. Made it hard AF to even remember what I was saying while saying it.

Ahahahahaha!

But also hella inspiring in someone as great as Marty being able to bounce back from all of that. The GOAT

The who sells De Nero his guns was Marty's friend and drug-dealer in real life.

This explains a lot about that movie.

Nobody cares. Not interesting.

It actually is nowadays

Sounds like you've led a painfully boring life

Yeah. That was hard to unsee

Nothing beats crystal meth.

@@Banana_Split_Cream_Buns Ecstasy does :) 🤸‍♂

Be afraid it’s cut w/Fentynol

Don't be a pussy and cook it. The quality of coke is irrelevant once you cook it. Have shit coke? Cook a larger amount. Idk tho i live in Tokyo where it's quite literally 95% and above

​@@Banana_Split_Cream_Bunsfor sure there is not enough pro Meth takes out there ..thank you

Jeff Goldblum

@@kennethrussell1158 that one. Even the mannerism.

@@kennethrussell1158 A resemblance slightly. Lacks Goldblum's sophistication.

yes

He wrote a lot of great movies. Dudes a legend.

And Raging Bull I think.

@@hairharbor5080Yup

no he wrote taxi with latca

blah blah blah dude, the whole point of what he's saying is that he did better work clean. Try listening to what's being said instead of blurting out admonitions out of ignorance.

The arrogance of saying this to a man who wrote a Palme d’Or Oscar nominated film directed by Martin Scorsese 😂

@@goober123cool and you know what Scorch, my fav dir, btw, told him after they won? "Could've gotten the whole fucking tree, Paul, if you weren't that zoinked all the time!"

I thought they had been doing the low contrast look on purpose. The crushed blacks kinda clash with the low latitude in the highlights… poor Nick can’t do anything right

I know, I went through a patch last summer where I was kinda doing semi-a lot of coke for like three or four months, and man even just in that short span of time I could feel it starting to ravage me both mentally and physically. Even when I was in the midst of doing rails and talking my head off, having a blast, in the back of my head I thought a couple times, "Man, I can FEEL how hard this shit is on your entire system, how the hell did the majority of the Western world do this stuff nonstop for like a decade straight and not just completely tank civilization??"

@tuanjim799 yeah wtf like. Literally doing it daily for work. Only explanation for me is their stuff was so clean that we don't even share the same effect anymore but that doesn't sound right

@@tuanjim799 Well it did correlate with a massive increase in greed and a lowering of compassion overall in the US, cutting taxes for the rich and making it easier to screw over the working class, so it has definitely had a hand in tanking civilization. The worst people become worse on cocaine. It increases people's selfishness and narcissism. A little bit is ok but more than that, people become assholes most of the time.

Seems like the GOP Republican Conservative Christian political party needs to be investigated for possible cocaine use, abuse and trafficking.

@@jamescarter3196 Very good point lol. You can definitely see the tell-tale marks of coking out all over that span of time, both in popular culture and in the realpolitik sense.

I bet she was in some orgies 😂

I bet she offered more than powder and then went back home and kissed you on the lips.

Yaphet Kotto. He was a character actor for years. He passed away some years ago after Richard.

I get the impression he wants to be Neal Brennan, but Neal is actually known among famous people and is respectful enough to let people talk most of the time. Here we've got a legendary screenwriter being hammed out of his interview by a comic who's spitballing his own material while pretending to interview him. I hope Paul got paid well for this shit because it's pretty appalling, and it sure isn't his fault.

Big time. Paul is very patient.

What is this? Do you think it's about being respectable? This guy could be the next bob hope. What do you know?

You need to get your ears and or speakers fixed

In a better world our penitentiaries would be populated by people who complain about the perfectly adequate sound quality of low budget productions.

what's amazing about it?

​@@LoyalOppositionfeels good and it's not a "problem" at that point

@@T4SelNiNO I tried it a few times, and hated it... couldn't wait for it to be over.. Paranoia, heart racing, zero pleasure.

@@LoyalOpposition Depends on the person, it can make your heart race, feel paranoid and you just want it over but like others are saying here, you can feel happy and motivated.

@@EddieHenderson92 I guess it's a good thing for me.. I had a childhood friend who overdosed and died when he was 26.

It’s the devils dandruff

@@southerndiy1 That's actually hilarious. I apologize for the late comment

😂

you have a fitting profile pic

Lol, it'll sure make you think 'my ideas are so great' when they aren't. It'll make people think 'I'm so beautiful and awesome, and you are BENEATH ME'

LMAO, there is nothing new about cocaine being in LA. The only new thing about it might be you finding it.

Do you live in LA? And my point was it’s socially acceptable.

The coke in the 70s was real coke. Medical grade shit. Keith Richards said a guy would come backstage and hand him an ounce and it'd last him a whole tour. You do a line and you're good. By the time the 80s rolled around, it was cut to shit and no good. And meth is a whole different thing. I know what you mean - but meth will hollow you out. And it's way too hard to stay even and not tweak out on it - especially if you're trying to do anything productive. And meth just takes way too much of a physical toll on you - IMO. If money wasn't an issue, I'd still do shitty coke over meth. But yeah, I've always said meth is a wonder drug - it works amazingly well if used right. I'd do a bump right now if I had one. I shot it once years ago, and it was probably the worst drug experience of my life. It was horrible, and a dumb thing to do. I also think they are all on Adderall though.

My interpretation was that he’s saying basically the cocaine always the characters to jus flow out of him and the come do the situations he writes for them and then they go back

Nah, it showed then.

reported

i bet you can't even bench adam

It’s not supposed to be good just like stavs standup
