Curious George: An Evening with GEORGE R.R. MARTIN and KEVIN SMITH!

[@changotv5847]

KZbin has really held off on showing this video to anyone hasnt it?! Theres ZERO comments and under 500 views after 6 days wtf! I just got this notification now and im subscribed

[@guy1ncognit0]

Same

[@blanketfortressofsolitude5270]

That means it was set to unlisted for six days, and most likely exclusive to that kevin smith club till now.

[@RomanPhilosopher]

I just now am seeing it too

[@Magdalena8008s]

It was released yesterday. He uploaded it a week ago but was private. This is why. No conspiracy.

How tf did I miss this live? Dammit. Thanks Kev and George. Always great to see creators interviewing other creators.

[@CaptainMaakasu]

This was great, big up to Kev for letting George talk all the time without interrupting ^^

Always that standard comment. Nothing at all to say, I see.

[@TaraR669]

Im here just for Kevin's look of joy during this whole thing.

[@Gersheyz]

Hell yeah! This was a match I didn't expect, but George and Kevin compliment each other amazingly. I could have listened to another couple of hours of this easily. I was hoping he would mention something about his involvement with Eldin Ring, but I got 100x more than I ever expected. Thank you so much for this wonderful dialogue!

[@BlasphometicHermetic]

I could listen to George all day!

[@brucer2152]

What a GREAT interview. And kept Kevin's mouth shut for huge amount of time!

[@richb313]

Longest conversation with George I've seen his stories are endlessly fascinating.

[@xdviper4518]

George speaking about the difficulties of writing and how you need to write your idea, but also finish what you write, was so nice to hear. I’ve dabbled in writing, have pages and pages of notes on ideas about this story or that story. I have a hard time actually starting and or finishing a story idea though. So, hearing him talk about that process was a bit inspiring. Makes me want to continue pursuing my story ideas.

[@ragnabolt683]

You should! I suffer from the same problem, but I just finished my first chapter of my rough draft! 3,000 words. It took me AGES to do this, so I am quite proud even though it is crap. You can do it; you just need to power past the inner critic that wants you to be perfect.

[@xdviper4518]

@@ragnabolt683 Seems like it is a common issue amongst writers and those that aspire to be writers.

[@jimr9499]

Actually starting out is the most difficult part for me, personally. Like, I'll have all the ideas, even written out in some cases. But making a decision on how to actually begin a story? Damn near impossible for me.

[@ragnabolt683]

@@jimr9499 You’ve got to write through the crap honestly. That’s the part that sucks.

[@jamesgurnell228]

The point of a first draft isn't to write something good, it's to write something. You have the revision process to tidy it up. Keep at it!

[@jimbo9313]

This was what I needed today. Bad day had a highlight. So thank you. Happy to see these guys together. Think it’s the least I ever seen Kevin talk.

[@jackgaltress7790]

Fantastic interview, of a truly great writer and world builder. Thank you for uploading and sharing the clarity is wonderful. Protect this man at all costs. Your books, world, characters, and imagination is amazing. Thank you George RR Martin.

[@chetkayeable]

Fun fact. The other letter writer to the F4 comic that is mentioned Paul Gambaccini became a very successful Rockn'Roll DJ in the UK for decades and has in his hands in many hit songs/bands career.

[@Elwaves2925]

I wondered if that was the same person. Not just a successful DJ but also used on TV shows for his extensive music knowledge. I seem to remember him saying that a minor DC character was based on him.

[@kyledion1346]

Ricky Gervais made fun of him on his XFM show! I knew I heard that name somewhere before!

[@RayMungus]

Thank you for posting. This was really a delight to listen to!

[@13thvoz]

This was f-in lovely. Thanks kev. More of these from the theater!! Por favor

[@SimonJamesStories]

Ace. I'm not even a Game of Thrones fan and I loved that. To everyone who says Kevin speaks all over whomever he's interviewing... have a watch of this! A perfect balance.

[@PrankstaWorld]

Always love when Kevin Smith uploads a new podcast.

[@Quincyslayer]

Thank you so much for the bautiful talk this video is for the ages. Such a comprehensive look at esteemed GRRM. Cheers to you all!

[@oberstul1941]

Awesome panel! Kevin did indeed shut his mouth for the most of it, which is indeed a rarity. Cheers!

[@ahrisho]

Nostalgia smell as soon as George RR Martin said the word "Mimeograph."

[@frankjamesdra]

Thanks so much for posting this. When I heard this was happening I really wished I could be there but being half the country away made it impossible. This was a great alternative.

[@phil.d-roll6393]

I started reading GameOfThrones last year. Good stuff. I watched the show of course, but im a reader, so i figured i better get these books under my belt. 🔥🌬🍻✌️😎

[@-Gax-]

6 days? Either Kevin just made this public or KZbin has not been recommending it because I get recommended every single one of Kevin's podcasts. Instantly. And I watch them all. Although I missed the Nintendo direct too. I didn't even know it was happening, which is funny because I've watched all of them for the last 6 to 8 years. Thanks, KZbin

[@AWSVids]

Same here. Glad I'm not crazy. I was wondering if I had just missed it. I just saw it in my recommendeds. I had been checking Kevin's channel page all week to see if he uploaded this, but KZbin lists the uploaded video and the live streams separately now on the channel page, so when I checked the uploaded videos, it didn't show it posted there. I finally noticed the "Live" tab, clicked over and there it is. So maybe it was there all week? I don't know. Either way, glad I finally get to see it!

[@muirhead111]

Mine is the same with Hollywood Babbleon. Takes days for it to recommend one of the very view videos I always immediately watch upon spotting.

[@roddammit5510]

They edited it and sat on it for a few days. Probably ala George

[@b1bbscraz3y]

when is this actually from?

[@xXNitemareXx]

3 minutes in and Kevin dropped like 5 F-bombs, then talks about penises. The person at KZbin HQ that reviews the videos only ever pays attention to the first 5 or 10 minutes of an upload and will limit it if the subject matter is "graphic" within that time frame. By KZbin's standards, foul language and sexual language will get you limited and demonetized automatically. They won't even bother to review the rest of the video if they are already encountering foul language and mature subject matter within the first 10 minutes, even if by doing so they would see the full context of the material. If it APPEARS to be bad when it isn't, they just won't allow the upload to go through and instead issue you an unfairly biased warning strike and ask you to delete it and re-upload without the offensive content. They will not advertise the video on the home page, they will cancel notifications, they will take the video out of the algorithm rotation so it doesn't appear at the top of your subscription feed, and they will stop you from generating and collecting revenue from the ads on that video. That's why no one noticed when the video was uploaded that there was a new video, and why some others couldn't see the video for a while on the channel page when they visited it. This is also why you see other creators use abbreviated words and speak in code because there is a long list of "bad words" that will get your video struck down immediately, even if you're using the words benignly or educationally. For example: abuse, violence, sexual assault, murder, suicide, excessive use of curse words, January 6th/insurrection, Covid19/pandemic/Pfizer, Trump/Amber Heard/Johnny Depp/Jeffrey Epstine/Ghislaine Maxwell. Creators who like to report on the news, current events, or law and crime, have the worst time trying to stay in line and not say the "naughty words" when making educational or commentary videos on current events or popular high-profile topics.

[@roddammit5510]

Couldn't be happier to see such a great collaboration

[@juremugerli2334]

I was at one of those signings in Slovenia. I'm glad we left an impression :D

[@Gekokujo76]

I named my daughter after one of the characters in his books. I have loved his work for almost 20 years....my daughter, Yellow Dick, is just now getting into his tv shows!

[@sidtinsley2493]

This is the best GRRM interview to date. Love you, Kevin.

[@AtomixIGN]

That was phenomenal. If you loved it as much as I did I suggest the audiobook for Dreamsongs which is George RR Martin's collection of short stories with him telling stories like this including these stories and many more in the interludes. It's got things like night flyers and sand kings which are both famous stories that he wrote too. But he does at least 25 minutes on the Turtle Castle stuff..

[@jconner78]

@Kev thanks for doing this! I didn’t know this was happening but what a delight! My favourite two rambling Jersey Boys together Much love from a Degrassi Reject

[@ruthbennett7563]

Thank you so much for uploading this wonderfully relaxed conversation/interview (by gumbo!). This has been some most enjoyable listening while I work on my own, far less marketable, creative fun. ❤

[@T0FFII]

George is faaaaantastic. He is our Tolkien for this generation & the sad fact is we won't fully appreciate the man til he's gone in all likelihood.

[@Ottophil]

youre right double R's

[@oddthequiet4868]

Not even close to Tolkein Martin will be remembered like Daniel Steele. Popular, not substantial.

Tolkien is overrated its just annoying when I hear people like you put humans on pedestals

[@razmatazz9310]

@@dimitrescucrncevic9746 He arguibly created the template for modern fantasy, of which he is still seen as the undisputed king by most people. While you are entitled to your opinion, it sounds pretty stupid.

[@ueno1]

Still hoping for a TV series based on George's superhero anthology Wild Cards!

[@natasha-em1qo]

This is finally on KZbin! Yess!

[@scottbauer1195]

Kevin, you need to return the appearance with one at George's movie palace in Santa Fe!

[@purefoldnz3070]

British writer Neil Gaiman met with Martin in 1987 and pitched a Wild Cards story about a character who lives in a world of dreams. Martin declined due to Gaiman's lack of prior credits at the time. Gaiman went on to publish his story as The Sandman.

[@alexholley317]

Great video!

[@NoOneNeededToKnow]

George R. R. Martin is the Godfather of Fantasy and I am so thankful for all he's done.

[@-Gax-]

Sorry, what? He's definitely a king of fantasy but the Godfather? I mean... No. He isn't at all. There have been literally thousands of fantasy stories before he wrote a single word.

[@NoOneNeededToKnow]

@@-Gax- you make a good point lol, i may have overcredited the man lol. I didn't mean he created fantasy but Just popularized it even further and in conjunction with his impact on pop culture . The fantasy genre has never been so popular ! And i feel like his contributions have done so much for the fantasy genre in the last few decades, And that goes beyond literature. I can possibly be giving the man more credit than hes due . But id rather overcredit than undercredit 😆

[@BrianMagnumFilms]

why did George say "weird ass" like fifteen times. anyway love him and glad to hear his stories again, some familiar some not.

[@eongoosm]

1:08:10 My dream Kevin Smith reveal starts here. Martin & Smith introduce reboot of 'Nobody's Fool' based within the final chapter of... pick your franchise. I would choose Firefly or something episodic that once upon a time needed that BIG screen touch, before the self-important Meta hoodie crowd took over. Also, I wish you had asked your guest a-boot his thoughts on Stephen King's 'Eyes Of The Dragon,' just to stir the pot...

[@emilnordtoemme880]

Just got this right now

[@futuramayeah]

i like the Max Headroom tv show, the first episode was called 120 minutes into the future because it was 2 hours long? and then Mtv made a tv show at midnight on sundays, called 120 minutes and in the commercial breaks, they would say, 120 minutes , into the future, because as time progressed, we were going into the future.

I need George Martin to help come up with an early Jedi (or future Jedi - not tied to the sequels) trilogy story, Old Republic or otherwise. Get him, Filoni, Favreau, and Lucas in a room together. And don't let them out till they come up with a treatment with an outline, concept art, etc. for our next great SW trilogy. Let Fiege contribute some notes too while they're at it. Guaranteed win.
