The makeup they did for Emily Blunt & Cillian Murphy was convincing in the time periods, the makeup team should get an Oscar IMO, very convincing & believable.

[@jentalksbooks]

Oppenheimer was phenomenal. Only thing, sorry if controversial, I don't feel like Florence Pugh needed to be nude. I don't normally notice or care about such, but it felt so out of place and unnecessary. Just my humble opinion. Love the film and Florence.

[@Sachin_C10]

@@jentalksbooks we actually couldn't see it anyways since the Indian censor board put a fake CGI dress on her & for a second I thought why would Nolan put a fake dress but it's the Indian censor board stupid editing lol.

[@michaelsoo4126]

@@jentalksbooks This was to illustrate the nature of her relationship with Oppenheimer and how it is different to the one he has with wife.

[@jentalksbooks]

@@michaelsoo4126 I hear you,and I understand that was the intent. Something just felt gratuitous and unnecessary, imho. I wish I could figure out why so that I can explain it. I watch movies and TV shows all the time that include far more than Oppenheimer and they feel as if they are included for a reason. I don't know...

[@bagofnuts9809]

Even if John Krasinski accomplished world peace, his greatest personal accomplishment would still be marrying Emily.

i bet he agrees!😄 they're a great couple

[@Higginsis]

My friend and I both confessed to being really confused for a large part of the film why a) Nolan offered her the role and b) an actress as talented as Emily was playing such a small part. Then we arrived at the deposition scene, and it became completely clear why an actress of her caliber was needed. In a film full of great performances she was right at the top.

[@genghisgalahad8465]

Gollum? Smeagol? Hobbitses??

[@KS-xk2so]

I'd agree she really sparkles in that deposition scene. I think part of the reason she seems a bit quieter for chunks of that movie is because you have to remember, all the colour scenes are "objective" in that they tell the story from Oppenheimers point of view. From what I can gather Kitty Oppenheimer had a ton of sass, and was a real firebrand, but it wasn't really ever directed at her husband. She saved it for those who pissed her off, or those who disrespected her husband. Which we see in the deposition scene, or even in the final White House scene, she won't shake Ed Tellers hand. Oppenheimer was willing to let bygones be bygones.... but his wife sure wasn't lol

[@elizabethsoro3421]

For decades Streep was to me, in a class of her own; Blunt has entered that class! If that makes sense. Whatever she plays in. I am mesmerized watching her face. Genius at acting, just like Streep. And yet so humble and down to earth!

[@no1caresss]

she's everything ugh must've been such a joy to have a conversation with. so humble and lovely 💙

my god I love herrrr, i hope she finally gets the Oscar she freaking deserves, great interview by the way, Josh!

Even thought Oppenheimer was great, in my opinion The English was her best performance of this year I Can’t wait for Edge of tomorrow sequel, it’s one of my favourite Sci-fi movies

I just love Josh Horowitz's style. Such an easy conversationalist, so encouraging and attentive towards the person he is talking with, that just allows dialogue to flow like a tap. (Tap =>Fawcett, Josh)

She's great in everything! I really love her indie Sunshine Cleaning with Amy Adams and wish more people talked about it!

Lovely to listen to. I've enjoyed your interviews since Twilight. I "discovered" you then. Happy to see that your career is still giving us the best interviews ever. Really happy to see that you had this chance to talk with Emily Blunt. Such an interesting, lovely woman.

[@JoshHorowitz]

Happy you’re still watching!

Her imitation of Villeneuve is hilarious

[@lifeisgoodll]

I absolutely adore her and everything she does. Even this suit she’s wearing is stunning.

woohoo first thumbs up!!! Great job on the interview Josh. Love Emily Blunt, she is an awesome actress. Keep safe all. Excelsior! Heff

[@tarcisioemanuelstudios5159]

Your interview it's fantastic! Emily is lovely so as u! 🥰 For me the superhero question seems for me to be an obligation. I love your work, I know it's part of the job, but it can be replaced by another question. One interviewer that I recommend for u as inspiration is Brian Linehan, based on time that you have it can have more research on the person, to actually impress an actor or a director and asks more deep questions. LOVED the interview! Keep the great work Josh! Wish you the best 🎉

[@JoshHorowitz]

glad you enjoyed!

[@lipslikeheaven]

Such a great interview. You can tell she was so at ease.

[@korinemlbernard3256]

Interviewer extraordinaire Josh did it yet again. Easy, unassuming, relatable and humorous. Yielding another informative and fun interview of one of the best actors out there. Well done! Don’t ever change. Keep making your mother - who is already beeming with pride - more proud of her talented son 🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾👍🏾🫶🏾🇨🇦

Awesome interview, thanks for sharing a video also!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Can someone tell me how in the World Josh gets 45min with those people where others get 10 max? Congrats Josh anyway 🤝🏻✔️

[@Magdalena8008s]

It's not that complicated. Josh and other podcasts like Armchair Expert specialize in long form interviews and have a track record of being good interviews and it makes people want to do their shows. It's not all about clickbait and gotcha moments. Or rushed questions. It's an actual place for people to legit talk.

He's jewish my dude. Plus he's good with microphone setups.

Love me some Emily, she has an infectious laugh. I can’t help but laugh with her. The only thing I like better than a clip of her, is one of her and John together. They are golden!

Really, technical difficulties beyond your control?/ Are you kidding me? This is a site regarding Hollywood, making movies,which incorporates SOUND by professionals. Horowitz cant even admit it is their fault. Of course you have control over sound camera action. You know the best sound people. Even a mediocre sound guy can fix this problem.
