[@True-Faux]

Sam you are a natural - calmly spoken, engaging and most importantly, a great listener. Keep up the amazing work!

[@carlosguillermo566]

What a wonderful, wonderful interview. Great questions with great, beautiful answers. Just a beautiful conversation overall. Props to your interview skills and empathy, and props to Mr. Coppola for his honesty, wisdom and warmth.

Here, because I caught the last showing of Megalopolis in our area and loved it. Subscribed just now because this was such a thoughtful interview.

Honestly, this is one of the best interviews I’ve ever seen in my life. Worth every minute. Your care and understanding of FFC really shines through here and the last 30-ish seconds are a beautiful summation of that. His genuine response to you there shows what a true romantic he is. On top of all of that, you also helped me grok what Megalopolis was about a bit more. I don’t think I’ll ever fully understand it because it seems like such a personal film for him, but the main takeaways are much more clear. Thanks for this amazing interview.

So well said! Couldn’t agree more 🖤💪🏻

[@talkeasypod]

This was a wonderful interview! I learned a lot about Coppola I didn’t know!

[@AlfieStudio]

He is incredible.

[@dimakimmusic]

I love this interview and the movie

[@ultravisione9311]

Beautiful interview

[@ElliotCoen]

I loved this interview, Sam. Thank you for sharing it with us.

The part you get Francis to read is my favorite part mentioned Megalopolis in Path to Paradise. I feel like that Mega's motif switched a little bit since it's first born in the 1980s, but I must say I love the original vibe of it - Glass Bead Game -ish, personal and kind of heavy. I LOVE Megalopolis the way it is now, but can't help but imagine what a different film the og Mega would be if Francis could do it in 1984. Thank you for the interview!

Exquisite interview. You know how to do it. It reminds me a little of the smoothness of Dick Cavett. You were highly prepared. Glad you watched the movie twice. The movie left me to ponder the themes and visuals.

[@burgesssam]

Great interview, Sam

[@DJCoolK1d]

When Francis reads his own notes on Megalopolis it makes me feel as though it should have been a book.

[@kylecowser]

Naw it’s an awesome film.

[@heryouhatebuttowhoyoumaste1991]

A mini-series was what I thought after watching it

[@guitaoist]

I liked it and nothing else today had as much substance to digest afterwards

[@kre_dopeprod.3766]

Nice cinema experience with that movie. Not sure but messages but it gives magic of diving in intense tale. Unfortunately looks like 50% of it was cut off and if it's true I wish to see full in theatre. Megalopolis was the only reason to visit cinema during war.

[@ern-cap]

I love how the interviewer tries to start by giving a sense of camaraderie and intimacy between him and Coppola and Coppola’s like, “And who are you?”

[@michaelkuhlman883]

We CAN be geniuses. We can also be barbarians. Create or destroy.

[@wizworldlive]

I wish you had asked why Mr. Coppola felt it so important to support child abuser Victor Salva, to the point of spending money defending him in court & blackballing Salva's victim

[@internetj3r]

4 decades to produce a bloated and boring plot twisted joke of a movie. This movie and the joker 2 are this years absolute flops. Don’t waste your money at the theater.

[@brianchidester3334]

Who cares if they flopped?

[@peccamecha]

@@brianchidester3334How much money a movie makes doesn't change how it makes me feel or how much I enjoy it. Profit should never be the criteria for great art.

[@peccamecha]

It's always the people who can't do and don't create who try to diminish ambitious art.
