The pain in Doug's voice when talking about not fitting in is so heartbreaking. But look at where he is now, starring in an award nominated film!

[@nancyallen628]

YES!! He deserves the best!!

[@TheDeconstructivist]

Michael Shannon saying "I had long suspected I was a good boy." is one of the funniest things I've seen all week.

[@marcosnavarro3303]

3:48 that laugh...

[@mrkjwhllr]

Doug Jones has such a great vibe

[@teeniebeenie8774]

give doug a durn oscar! awesome in that movie

[@stevegeorge6880]

I'm torn between sadness at Doug Jones not being a superstar and relief that he hasn't been destroyed a la Jim Carrey. He's amazing. Wish him the best.

[@issyismusic]

Doug is lovely!

[@oliver4elio87]

Super adorable.

[@rachelcook7502]

They're both such lovely guys.

[@horrorhead199]

Love these two...Jones is so nice and polite and Michael is just a badass!

[@benkata]

Mike has an hilarious laugh.

[@oliver4elio87]

He's cool dude.

[@HuggiMa]

Doug Jones is so hilariously funny...I could listen to him all day.

[@kathaiti]

I saw The Shape of Water yesterday. Really enjoyed the film. I just wished it was longer though.

[@Actorclown]

It was smart to pair these guys. Doug is a sweetheart of a man and very open. Michael looks like it's more of a burden of obligation that he would rather not do. At the end he could not get that mic off fast enough. But fun chemistry between them.

[@lnfreeman]

Poor Michael just has RBF

[@ProfSebastian]

haha! I feel like they were made to star in a buddy cop movie.

[@ThisHandleIsInteresting]

Somebody petition for this to occur.

[@alex0589]

Thanks for this. It's so cool to hear Doug Jones finally talk, he's so well known without anyone knowing who he is. 15:55 and other moments are proof it was a good idea to do this with both dudes, was it your idea or are they doing press together? Ps. again, get an intern pleaassse, anyone who can help with the camera/mics so you can concentrate on your interview!!

[@alex0589]

Also: It's fucking sad that you cant google "Doug Jones" anymore because of the new senator from Alabama ahah. Poor Doug.

[@dp30]

Yes, I t was my idea to pair them. Made sense to me. And Mike is funnier when he has someone to bounce off of.

[@lionessmummy4418]

Alex I thought Doug was British for some reason. Totally shocked me he was American!

[@filmjkk]

I could be the intern lol

[@Yorokobi224]

He had like one line in Hocus Pocus

[@RealMexFoodShouldntGiveUDrrhea]

Michael's impression of Sally is hilarious!

[@beckyh5916]

Doug Jones comes across as one of the most nicest people ever x

[@pamelaurrutiacifuentes7369]

Michael es muy entretenido, GENIAL, se deja querer!! ... Pero Doug Jones APAGA A CUALQUIERA que estè a su lado:ahora que lo escucho hablar, me fascina su voz;pero ES TAN PROFESIONAL, Y NATURAL, que, hasta en una simple entrevista, nos muestra su increíble talento de comunicar lo que QUIERA con sus gestos... Y Guillermo del Toro, como genio que es, no podría haber elegido mejor a su DIOS -ANFIBIO. Doug Jones:el que supo transmitir, a través de la pantalla,todo el amor y agradecimiento a su "princesa without voice".

[@rameyzamora1018]

Lovely interviews. I think Guililermo wanted the "monster" to finally get the girl. A great concept! This must be Doug Jones's first romantic lead in a movie...

[@faby864]

Michael Shannon does a perfect job in this movie, and Doug is so unique,

[@minniem526]

I'd love one with Sally too :)

[@paola_2080]

Michael Shannon is hot AF

[@mikewest9256]

Paola Aguirre .so are you chica

[@Whitney2022]

Yes he is!

[@paola_2080]

intrepidmolasses IKR

[@RealMexFoodShouldntGiveUDrrhea]

Ikr! He is like fine wine.

[@carameldrops08]

for real I am dieing

[@ThisHandleIsInteresting]

Michael has such a "left out" look on his face it's priceless, can't tell if he's serious or not XD

[@ThisHandleIsInteresting]

I've actually met him, and his smile is great. He honestly just looks bored as hell here it's too good. I have never seen this much quiet honesty from an actor during an interview XD

[@ThisHandleIsInteresting]

Movie was terrific by the way. Del Toro is the definition of a filmmaker.

[@nivekian]

He has a great comedy deadpan, watch The Night Before.

[@ThisHandleIsInteresting]

Oh that's no secret, kzbin.info/www/bejne/mp_KgHtvfJmIhtk XD

[@MultiKarola]

it makes him interesting

[@rigsby1454]

Shannon is such a barmy guy. Love him

[@HKeasy8]

this was awesome!!

[@watcher1138]

Excellent film excellent interview 🌠

[@3dberserk1]

Zod and Silver Surfer chillin

[@novajones9403]

Really nice interview. Are you planning to do an interview with Sally too?

[@keytothekingdom8409]

Michael Shannon is raw as fuck, I can't even imagine him learning lines

[@MultiKarola]

what a fab film! beautiful

[@anthonychrisbradley]

Michael Shannon’s head is an absolute unit

[@MisterDevos]

SO GLAD they discussed 8 mile!

[@heididepotter8136]

Guillermo deserves a museum or yes themepark. I would love that. And I m not the only one!

[@melaniesmith1313]

The film needed more scenes of Doug Jones' gill man.

[@ThisHandleIsInteresting]

Doug: I know what it's like to be the monster that doesn't fit in. Michael:

I like that Michael still remembers his legendary role as General Zod in a great Man of Steel.

[@chrishulse3381]

Even Doug Jones laughs at the idea of Superman breaking somebody's neck.

[@teeniebeenie8774]

shannon seems to need a nap....

[@ThisHandleIsInteresting]

The hell were those first couple seconds.

[@gabrielp9646]

Soundcheck.

[@cjdvise]

A friend from high school got to work with Doug Jones in a short Sex Trafficking Awareness film a few years back. I happened to know of Doug beforehand and almost shat a brick when I first heard Mattie was going to work with him.

[@luishindman]

Any chance of an interview with PTA for Phantom Thread? Love your interviews, watch them everyday.

[@dp30]

Been asking, begging, and imploring others to cajole... but so far, he refuses to go on camera.

[@nefwaenre]

*Something about that neck! We all want a piece of that!* Yes, thank you Doug! I'd have the whole Mike, if possible! Btw, these two have such an easy going attitude and they kept talking amongst themselves which just shows how comfortable they are with each other! Dude, there's LOADS of sex scenes of Mike. 4:09 was such a face palm situation. 11:41 did he just tough his hair as a superstition? You know, like touch wood, touch hair, type... hmmm....

[@ThisHandleIsInteresting]

Shannon should do a cultist musical with Marilyn Manson and Johnny Depp, on Broadway... Like some Book of Mormon type thing. Hell, just recast Book o' Mormon with those three.

[@shadowfangempire609]

Fight on! Fight on dear old Muncie! Fight on hoist the gold and blue! You'll be tattered, torn, and hurtin' Once the Munc' is done with you! Gooooooooooooo Eagles!

[@bfkc111]

I'm guessing there'll be some face-destroying violence. It's one of Del Toro's favourite sadistic (and quasi-symbolic, perhaps) elements, it seems.

[@bfkc111]

Hey, I wasn't all that wrong (so to speak).

[@chynnhowe]

There actually was! Not to spoil it if you haven’t seen it. But you’re right!

[@WalterLiddy]

Holy shit Shannon's laugh.

[@melvinch]

The size of Michael Shannon's head is almost twice that of Doug Jones'.

[@MsJilsephonie]

My thoughts Shannon is sevy in a creepy kind of way Doug is just precious del Toro is a genius and the sound in this video is totally horrible (like in most of your videos i have to admit)

[@oliver4elio87]

Micheal has such a dry sense of humour and he bounce off with Doug. "This is our Couple therapy" funny .

[@iamcoffeerepublic]

Spoilers in 3...2...1... 2:15

[@mjau65]

Michael Shannon should play Bukowski.

[@einc70]

Saru

[@johnvalley3960]

Um...Well it would be nice to either omit or warn us of the spoiler for Shape of Water that happens less than 3 mins into the "chat".

[@paola_2080]

John Valley Well... that "spoiler" happens to appear in the final trailer so...

[@johnvalley3960]

Paola Aguirre, fortunately you don't know what you're talking about. The spoiler I'm referring to is definitely NOT in the trailer. Do yourself a favor and don't review the first three minutes unless you want a major plot point ruined.

[@paola_2080]

John Valley well SOOOOORRY for not understanding your reference to that horrible, horrible leak of super esencial information about the plot... Suggestion: You dont want a movie to be spoiled for you? Do yourself a favour and dont watch any related interview before seeing it...

[@johnvalley3960]

Paola Aguirre, essential. Not 'ecencial'. Favor. Not 'favour'. If you're gonna troll people, maybe don't sound too much like a potato-person.

[@kiko1935]

Rule of thumb would be to not watch a 35 min discussion of a movie before seeing it

[@Avasive]

🖐🏽👀🖐🏽

[@Asimmetry]

I love this channel but can we buy this man a working audio recording device? Lol

[@heididepotter8136]

Doug, I love mime, I would not attack you. I m quite fysic in my expressons , even speack in fysical terms I m a rubberface. Can never hide my emotions. My bodylanguage is faster then my tongue and mind

[@kellybrincks]

Hey Frosty. Nice interview. #colliderfrosty @colliderfrosty

[@dp30]

huh?

I thought that it was Steven Weintraub too, sound very simillar

[@lynette1231]

Kept wanting them to ralk about the Shape of Water .. so far very dithery!! - not like the other reviews which stuck to the topic!

[@Avasive]

American Sirkis

[@heididepotter8136]

The intens looking big hearted, misterious actor called Michael Shannen. Their relation started with him biting of my fingers, lol I would love a mean evil bitch wrole. But I m always the funny momsy type.

[@НаташаБоровик-г2х]

Хоть переведите , а то не понятно.

[@myautobiographyafanfic1413]

Ahh, the meeting of the weird-looking-and-likable-and-although-I'm-straight-I'll-say-probably-handsome-I-just-wanted-them-to-not-feel-looking-weird-was-such-a-bad-thing-if-either-of-them-happen-to-see-this-comment club. Members, 2.

[@je4754]

whatever dude..screw this carp.

[@WalterLiddy]

God, 2 minutes in and the interviewer really needs to go away. Cringe.

[@melvynobrien6193]

BESTIALITY.

[@serzhan222]
