If you enjoyed this interview, I would be really grateful if you could hit the subscribe button, it truly helps us out a lot and helps us continue to bring you these types of conversations... appreciate you all.

[@Joslin393]

...that is the most extraordinary, original and individual format of an interview I've ever seen, I'm so impressed and gratefull for this journey you two have gifted us. Wonderful conversation, thank you thank you thank you! So much. Wow.

[@isabelle.k8205]

Ben should play himself in a rom-com because he is a dream of a guy.

[@thebrunettetheorist]

I think some people, not all, associate the portrayal of his characters to being parts of his personality. If you watch or listen interviews he has given he truly exudes positivity and optimism and kindness, the fact that he portrays them so well and explore all sides of the characters just shows how talented he is and how balanced he is as a human. I feel he is like a commentator of movies, which is something I can relate to. My friends hate me for that. All in all a wholesome interview that I enjoyed listening to

[@ziggyflame6988]

This is totally the BEST interview with Ben Barnes EVER!!!!💜💜💜

[@Jo.Z]

It was one of the most entertaining and positive interviews I've ever seen! Thank you so much! ❤ Any chance to see Ben's face when you tell him you didn't watch The Lion King? There were quite a few seconds of silence 😂

[@TriptoMoviesPod]

Maybe one day! lol

[@Jo.Z]

@@TriptoMoviesPod Please do it quickly, the world deserves to see it 🤣

[@isanie1]

I volunteer to be whispered at in the cinema on a date!

[@irrumnaaz]

Ohh finally! Definitely going to enjoy this. Ben is such an underrated actor, thank you! ❤

[@wendyonthefly]

Good to see BB face, been a bit of time. Wonderful interview learning more of the personal side of BB.

[@OpenSoulTarot]

Ben and I have way more in common than I ever knew (thanks to this interview) but I disagree with him on one of his movie picks. And he's gonna have to ask me out on a date for me to tell him which one. 😊

[@ccsays]

This interview was fun! I really liked the format. Will definitely check out other 'A trip to the movies' interviews.

[@TriptoMoviesPod]

Thank you!

[@Gray1995.]

I love Ben, he is amazing

[@dancechica]

Lol Ben, you're welcome to whisper in my ear during a movie any time. But bougie reclining seats are definitely required; my local theater doesn't have them and I will drive 1.5 hours to a theater that has them, I'm that spoiled

[@StephBHoule]

WoW. Wonderful interview. Thanks ❤. Ben is m’y fave since 15 years ❤

[@TheAlanrush]

Thank you so much ❤, very interesting and funny interview turned out, please make a video with Ben's face when he found out about The Lion King, at least on Instagram!

[@brendadotter4433]

What a BRILLIANT interview, Ben & Alex! Isn't it amazing how talking about movies can reveal so much about a person? I have to commend you, Ben, for your choices of "Sister Act II: Back in the Habit" (The renditions of "His Eye Is On the Sparrow" & "Ode to Joy" are fabulous) and John Williams' "Superman" theme (All of his work is quintessential movie music!) I shall have to try M&M's 8n my popcorn now. Have you ever tried Red Hots (the candy) in popcorn? Alex, I love your interviews, so I subscribed. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@TriptoMoviesPod]

Thank you so much! Appreciate your feedback.

[@tamarmolloy1197]

The movies you brought up are great. I love Sister Act 2. It is much better than the first movie, which is a rarity. It uplifts and inspires! It would be enjoyable to see you in a rom com similar to North and South (Elizabeth Gaskell, love the mix of progression in everyday life, romance, and working conditions), Pride and Prejudice (BBC), and Sandition.

[@trizzle3190]

This was such an amazing and engaging interaction with very thoughtful questions and answers. Thx so much !! ♥️

[@TriptoMoviesPod]

You are so welcome!

[@Just0neVoice]

All the love in the world, but do not break my heart. I'd prefer to see a Ben Batman over seeing a Ben Gambit. You see, Nick Bateman has already got an "unofficial", non-profit, Gambit thing on KZbin that I saw first - a thing that I cannot unsee. It may only be 20 minutes long, but it commands my viewership loyalty. His look in it is amazing. His staff action in it is legitimate. His accent in it is divine. The attitude he delivers is on character. Nick is too perfect in it. If anyone is going to be Gambit now... for me... it has to be Nick. I don't even want to see anyone else attempt it, even if it is someone as charming and lovely as Ben. But hey! Do Batman! Heck to the yes, be Batman!

[@clairthekhajit]

ben is so nice !! aww

[@luizablyau6178]

I'm from Belgium and I'm a big fan of The Punisher, really amazing show! His song Rise up helped me through a dark time in my life. Wish I will be able to tell him someday. Thank you for your great and fun interview! 🎉😊

[@TriptoMoviesPod]

Rock on! Thank you for watching.

[@06angelee]

Thank you for uploading!!!

[@lincerad]

Yesssss! Thank you!!!

[@TriptoMoviesPod]

You are so welcome!

[@clarissagafoor5222]

He is so different from any character he's ever acted.

[@Heidi-ih9ej]

Loved it. Ben is adorable. Ill go on a date to the movies with him

[@ScarlettSloaneB]

Ben se ve increíble para su edad es un dorian gray totalmente

[@user-kl3on8ow4r]

Love his sense of humor, 😄 I'm not a fan of the 1950s movies 🎥🍿 I did watch Some Like It Hot and it was entertaining better than Casablanca my opinion. I prefer Prince' s Bmovie Under The Cherry 🍒 Moon. Never seen Back To The Future will Ben Barnes comeover and watch it with me? 😊 Love this interview!

[@ameliaahry]

idk why but i think you look like aidan turner

[@ananelriapretamel]

It would be ideal if it were subtitled there are many people who are deaf or don't know enough English to understand just by listening. Es wäre ideal, wenn es Untertitel hätte. Es gibt viele Menschen, die gehörlos sind oder nicht genug Englisch können, um es allein durch Zuhören zu verstehen. Ce serait l'idéal s'il était sous-titré, il y a beaucoup de personnes sourdes ou qui ne connaissent pas assez l'anglais pour comprendre simplement en écoutant. Seria ideal se fosse legendado há muitas pessoas que são surdas ou não sabem inglês o suficiente pra entender só ouvindo.

[@TriptoMoviesPod]

You're absolutely correct. It's strange, because I turned on subtitles - like I did with the other videos. I'll look into it for you.

[@TriptoMoviesPod]

Should work now by pressing 'CC'

[@ananelriapretamel]

@@TriptoMoviesPod The “CC” in the caption is not exactly correct, that's why I asked for the caption for this interview with Ben Barnes I really like him and his interviews.

[@mortal_meatbag]

ohhh this was such a lovely conversation 💖 i live in a place with no movie theaters & i dream of going to the cinema. can't wait to return 🎟🍿
