Benny Safdie Talks Judy Blume Film Adaptation, Writers Strike, Uncut Gems + More

[@GregMuniz7]

Seriously one of the best parts of Oppenheimer. His accent was on point.

[@schristine159]

I was genuinely happy seeing him in the movie. He killed his role

[@73438]

Good gosh you nailed it... The central thing I remember from the movie was his performance.

[@David-xc4we]

He may have been a douchebag, but that’s what makes him the funniest character in my opinion!

[@YourBlackLocal]

People really acting like he’s some random dude. This guy’s directed two movies that are some of the best ever made.

[@abetterme7215]

They don't the industry

[@bmoneyrancidfan91]

All 3 of thir movies were a1

[@InPotatoITrust]

Heh? His movies aren’t known to a lot of ppl.

[@jesuswesleyramirez4165]

Cool story van go ​@@InPotatoITrust

[@thebuffknight]

I'd argue that HKW, GoodTime and Uncut Gems are three of the greatest American contemporary movies of this century

[@Kellyeeeee]

I got home from oppenheimer and immediately had to investigate who played Teller fully knowing who the Safdie brothers were (but never having seen their faces). Learning that Benny played one of the most crucial parts in the movie was pleasantly surprising! His performance was incredible without the benefit of knowing that he was a major Hollywood player beforehand.

[@leviturner4565]

Benny is a Really Big Guest for film nerds

[@hannahbanjo5629]

HONESTLY!

[@Telecasterluvr]

Quite possibly my favorite character in Oppenheimer dude killed it

[@Mosh-f5b]

He was really good .He nailed the reaction during the bomb

[@vmajor20]

Anybody who's never seen his movie "Good Time" please go watch it ASAP

[@aphoticphoton]

WAIT THEY DID THAT MOVIE TOO!? I just knew the Sadfie brothers did uncut gems!

[@schristine159]

Amazing movie!!

[@pmf15]

@@aphoticphotonbenny plays nick, the mentally challenged (do you say that in english??) brother of robert pattinsons character! He is AMAZING in it

[@73438]

Actually been re-watching GoodTime recently after some watching some interviews the Safdies brothers did when the movie came out. The way they made the movie and the reason they created it are as amazing as the movie itself.

[@blackbutmild1]

This is another good one. I'm also glad to see that you guys have gone outside of your normal box to get a great interview. Hey!! 👍🏾👍🏾

[@MRLONG758]

Not really outside their box. He's acting in and directing a film based on a book charlamagne read and loves

[@shan3wood18]

Put respect on the safdie brothers name

[@deeznutz8320]

I dont respect Jews sorry

[@addictivenews]

Omg the legend “uncut gemmmzzzz” and good times 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@louisekendralohmann6386]

Are you there God, is such a wonderful, sweet, funny, touching movie. Loved it. And Safdie is great in it.

[@cortneybrown54]

16:00 Benny: I was in the Oppenheimer movie… 20:19 Charlamagne: You’re in the Oppenheimer movie coming up, right? 😭

[@MRLONG758]

Shows he wasn't paying attention

[@charliewolf4411]

Also literally rephrased the exact point he made 4 minutes ago

[@prestondaniels3890]

This is awesome. Please interview more filmmakers !

[@neilghosh3821]

Excellent performance as edward teller!

[@Jamesadamiak]

Love Benny…super down to earth & an intelligent. I could listen to him talk for hours!

[@Valientee16]

My favorite character and performance in Oppenheimer, good work man.

[@jazzydlite]

Took my tween to see Are you There God and they loved it. I also appreciate thr subtle nods to diversity in the film.

[@bookmanahmed]

I used to tell Benny, back when i luckily just happened to be at the same college as him, like 2 yrs his junior, "Hey man, let's be in a movie together." i still stand by that.

[@kmn2222]

Good time amazing movie

[@RankSarpac]

Guy directs but can't stop acting. Living my dream, man.

[@GregMuniz7]

Dude was excellent in Oppenheimer

[@buttercuppictures4793]

IF YALL DONT KNOW BENNY SAFDIE YALL DONT KNOW NY AND NY FILM

[@buttercuppictures4793]

LEGENDARY NY SHIT

[@aslan9334]

He's one of those actors that wherever he has a big role or small i enjoy watching him!😄

[@Philipstyrer]

why did I not know Benny Safdie was on the breakfast club lol.

[@danieljohnpeters]

Great interview, thanks for sharing

[@lab981]

0:15 Goddamn it Envy, you or a producer could have confirmed that prior

[@MRLONG758]

Ikr this is pretty much every interview. Yall can't do some research?

[@Pou1gie1]

@11:30 Box office for kid films is about what is recently interesting to kids. Kids don't read Judy Bloom now. They should have made this in the 80s, 90s or early aughts. Now kids like others authors, like Neil Gaiman. The Babysitter's Club and Judy Bloom are 80s books -- that's a long time ago for kids now. That's like if you were a 90s kid being told to watch a movie about a book that was cool in the 50s.

[@Koumphanh]

'Super fudge' let's go! 😂 They also shud do 'Go Ask Alice' that wud be Awesome, Button Button anyone? Lol 😂🤣😭👍😋

[@priyankaroy5975]

This guy was so convincing as Edward Teller.

[@Charmane73]

Yup. I had 4 passes and couldn’t get no one to go with me. Dragged my husband. But I think it should be released for streaming

[@bmoneyrancidfan91]

He was the bomb in good time

[@antoinemlee]

Physics? And now he’s playing William Teller in Oppenheimer 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@Keszamot097]

Edward Teller

[@Jermthatormentor]

Awesome random guest

[@BartAllen]

*And the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor goes to ...*

[@leecolfax]

Benny Safdie for Good Time.

[@businessbuilder92]

Buster keaton was different!

[@jakekent836]

I hate Charlemagne, but I love Benny and this was actually an enjoyable interview

[@petecherry4908]

charlamagne restating exactly what Safdie said about Oppenheimer and AI in an effort to sound intelligent is comical.

[@sher6897]

09:29 Columbia prep 🥴🥴

[@axa5005]

I thought this was Jimmy from Degrassi

[@getheroutofthetruck]

Good Time *****

[@orlab7745]

Isn't New York built on top of a huge quartz crystal..maybe that contributes to the connectedness

[@Oridginale24]

I was not expecting to see Cory Matthews on this show.

[@ilovepdub]

Lol ikr

[@lab981]

* sees title * This guy's too sharp to be up here.

[@Larhless]

Sees comment. But you’re here

[@bmoneyrancidfan91]

Theyre talking to a young scorcese

[@donjuaaan8329]

Why does he look like. “It’s Pat”?

[@ilovepdub]

Thats great that he wrote these great movies and is so great in film and writing but jeez hes boring as far as an interview. This is very boring.

[@hyoten5743]

They just be interviewing anyone nowadays lol 🙄

[@Roze773]

His movies good af tbh

[@blackguyofthesouth2161]

Y'all really pressed they have a white man on here who's in a movie based on a book, that Charlamagne is a big fan of; If you're that offended maybe you should become a radio jockey and host your own show.

[@treybikes]

This is a talented film maker and has more money than most of the people they interview. Are they only suppose to interview ignorant rappers? Stop being a hater, because that gets you no where in life 🙌

[@nastynupe]

I guess you'd prefer to see some reality show trash????

[@addictivenews]

Please chill he’s really the next tarantino

[@Amal_Makeup]

They allow everybody to come to this show 🤦 u get a viral tweet today .you will be invited to the breakfast club tomorrow.

[@CarlCyborg]

this dude is a talented filmmaker unlike being a low life hating regular joe like you 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@SundevilRoadrunner]

What do you mean anybody? He and his brother directed Uncut Gems, he in a new Christopher Nolan film, and he’s in Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.

[@12Saintsrow]

Your ignorance is showing like crazy

[@MRLONG758]

The disrespect for an acclaimed filmmaker is crazy

[@CarlCyborg]

@@MRLONG758 bro don’t know bout filmmakers so he think they just “anybody” 💀💀

[@ANPHKI]

Benny Safdie explaining Italian neorealist cinema, on the Breakfast Club, is unbelievably cute and hilarious. You could recite ancient hebrew scripture to these people and they'd understand as much of what's been said.

[@royceedwards1910]

Can somebody tell me what is going on with Envy's Voice ?

[@ilovepdub]

Hes a writer that wrote popular movies but ppl dnt wanna admit hes boring as fuk
