"Sideways" is my absolute favorite! I am seeing "The Holdovers" tomorrow, so we will see if that is better or the same. In any case, Paul G. stars in both, and he is an amazing talent.

[@GentlemanJim61]

Election, by far, one of the greatest films of the last 25 years. It takes characters that are usually villains and makes them human and very funny. The jock is not a sadistic jerk but a good hearted if empty headed guy, his campaign speech done as a long run-on sentence was hilarious. Tracy Flick was a spot on parody of the over achiever. Many themes used for comedic purposes which most would be afraid to do today.

[@jeanthobaben]

I taught in a boarding school for 43 years. This film hit all the right notes!♥

[@mxyzptlk...]

The Holdovers is my new favorite Alexander Payne film.

[@user-friendly-b6q]

Giamatti should win the Oscar for this movie. He is a tremendously talented actor.

[@525Lines]

Holdovers should SWEEP the oscars. I'm sorry. They deserve all the awards.

[@LisaMurphy]

Yes, Giamatti deserves it this year. I've seen all the other front runners and his performance is above and beyond.

[@evanstravelchannel4905]

Agreed!

[@Spractral]

That movie probably made me feel more than any other movie this year, and by that standard (and I think that probably should be how to measure a film) it was better than the rest. Love this guy's movies

[@Elassyahmed]

One of the best interviews I have ever seen with Payne. Thank you

[@richfictionfighter]

Ive been a fan of Payne's work since Sideways. Cannot wait for The Holdovers!

[@bazurful]

You wouldn't believe it @joshhorowitz - but people laugh about movies in solitude as well. I did watch his movie and enjoyed it (for myself) very much. So much so, that I recommended it to others. My initial feeling that is was very much like a french movie - was spot on I suppose. He did a wonderful job with this one and I can only say thank you, Alexander Payne, for such a enriching addition to the movie world.

[@rondelfilms]

This guy is one of the greatest filmmakers of our time.

[@Mr_Justy]

Downsizing is a BRILLIANT film. It’s one of the only movies that I can watch over and over whenever I come across it

[@porterfr]

Downsizing is a wonderful film, actually. It's just that so much of it is very, very uncomfortable--like a prophecy. This was a fine interview, thank you Josh!

[@kyleyork6811]

Best entertainment interviewer out there, thanks for the consistency in your amazing work

[@Thompsonpool]

So good this interview, ‘The Holdovers’ just fantastic 🎉🎉🎉

[@shitpostheavy]

This was great!

[@Nerdtropolis]

This movie is great!

[@millsykooksy4863]

The Holdovers was excellent

[@vnrjn8]

Agreed. Masterful performances and direction. Giamatti is a damn sorcerer.

[@cameronbrooks3767]

I was in the very last scene of The Descendants .. with a speaking role🎉

[@UncleDeadly1031]

Perish the thought, but given its inevitability, when you eventually pass on, would you like this fact to be included in your obituary?

[@JacksunGavin]

This is an excellent interview

[@a.r.t93]

it's strange but hearing how he delivers his mothers health situation has the same dark comedic timing of a Payne film and it's interesting af..

[@UncleDeadly1031]

It’s almost as if there’s some sort of connection there….mysterious af…

[@Shinnokxz]

no kidding!

[@robhws]

Love Sideways, and Election.

[@pearljammm4093]

I watched the movie last night… excellent movie with great acting.

[@movielover828]

"Nebraska", "The Descendants" and "Sideways" are the top 3 movies that Alexander Payne directed.💯

[@LilDew]

The Holdovers > Nebraska

[@cactaceous]

I just saw The Holdovers. Pretty great. Nebraska is better in my opinion.

[@movielover828]

@@cactaceous "Nebraska" is my favorite movie that Alexander Payne directed.💯

[@CastlesForEyes]

The film was a joy from start to finish.

[@LisaMurphy]

I loved The Holdovers. Great ensemble, but, Giamatti was fantastic.

[@BobMcRoberts1991]

49:31 is hilarious both with and without context.

[@Luke_E_Babyy]

Alexander Payne is great.

[@krisreilly1969]

Downsizing could have been a Vonnegut novel - that’s how good it is.

[@matthewbooth547]

I'm not drinking any fucking Merlot

[@mosaicpaint3223]

The holdovers

[@freeloader247]

His matt Damon movie is a blah. But every other movie is a congress library worthy

[@xineagex]

Tillary Clinton?

[@ThatOllieBloke]

Unsubscribing josh. This guy is an accused sexual predator :/

[@matthewvilela]

Don't listen to @ThatOllieBloke. His name is Oliver and he's a hypocrite. He assaulted me in a party, and when I sad no he cursed me

[@nh0522]

yup. they keep deleting my comments when i link to an article talking about the allegation

[@matthewvilela]

@nh0522 Yeah, is too easy today just accuse someone on internet and destroy a person's life, but no trial, no legal actions, nothing! We can do this with anyone. So, sorry, an article isn't a trial, isn't a jury, isn't a judge. :-/

[@Doctordoompapito]

Because he is fucking innocent.
