Horror Time with Josh and Benny Safdie

[@LukeAMcKay]

I like how they talk over each other and how that translates over to their work.

[@smackdaddy9802]

they get so excited for cinema - that's the peeps we want behind the camera

[@maxiguess2291]

watching them talk over each other makes the dialogue in uncut gems make more sense

[@kingrat7660]

benny and Josh honestly need their own segment on the channel

[@patricmanda4665]

Agreed. I like these guys alot

[@johnulcer]

[@timlp1129]

I love how the Safdie brothers thoroughly enjoy answering questions in interviews and actually open up about themselves. It's so authentic

[@i.turn.tables6455]

After uncut gems and Good time they NEED to make a horror movie

[@connsescape3247]

I.turn. Tables the amount of stress i’d feel, man i’d be getting gray hairs just watching it

[@miltonvandemerwe8006]

But I think they don't have to classify as a horror movie to sell it 😉

[@Ryan-Petre]

The ending of Heaven Knows What is essentially a horror movie.

[@brentulstad3275]

I think they'd have a hell of a great situation to work with if they ever teamed up with Louie CK. If this idea confuses you, just look at so much of his FX series Louie. Also many of his lesser known short films or even "I Love You Daddy." Great ambiguity and experimentation. High level realism. Nuanced and unique regard for the subtle detail. And Louie CK has a great and deep knowledge of film and filmmaking history, at least similar to and on par with Josh and Benny Safdie. All unique cinephiles in their own right. I do think they would compliment and contrast each other well. Regardless, I look forward to each of their contributions in the future. Much admiration, love and respect!

[@KevinCarlson2]

I guess they sort of did with The Curse

[@w.h.merrow3064]

It's weird to see him articulating so well after thinking he actually had a disability

[@ravenkliff]

They also just appeared on Chap Trap House

[@ZeroTheKnifer]

I think Criterion is courting these guys. lol I hope we get a Good Time criterion release. That film is highly worthy..

[@modalsoul6511]

ZeroTheKnifer not gonna happen 🙅🏽, it’s an A24/ Lionsgate Release ,it’ll be just fine over there.

[@Infametheus]

Yeah A24 won't allow that. Good thing is, their blu ray releases are great.

[@gabe8935]

Their early stuff is streaming on Filmstruck

[@Phicxtion]

ZeroTheKnifer it's a great film but not one I would see on Criterion.

[@greoug]

Idk i mean they got the rights to the rock and Armageddon etc from Disney, but I do think their early stuff before good time I would appreciate criterion releases of. And yeah A24 usually has the best physical releases

[@mary-gx5cl]

love how they keep talking over each other or interrupting each other and thats how most of their dialogue is written - just tangled up and messy and chaotic

[@KrazyFang1]

You can just see how much they love films, they aren't pretentious at all and seem so stoked to just talk for hours about their favorite films! I'd love to meet them some day, no one I know ever wants to just talk movies for hours like I do.

[@jaceshaffer8104]

What's the first movie you would want to talk about?

[@dtk381]

I will watch any video you upload of these two. Knowledgeable, funny and personable.

[@StreeTHiPHoP131]

These guys are real film buffs holy

[@ravenkliff]

I was like 11 when my dad showed me Night of the Hunter on a rainy night. He was from the area where it was filmed and knew all this trivia about it, deeply unsettling movie but a great memory.

[@DeformedLunchbox]

These two are geniuses, and I'll watch everything they make.

[@brentulstad3275]

These last few years have been the first time in my adult life that I can say with confidence that there are more films & tv series of good to great quality to find and digest than that of poor quality, although that does have to change the scale or whatever device we use to measure them, so the bar is raised to a higher degree. When in the, not so long ago, past it was the opposite, where there were quality and "hidden gems" but mostly commercial and watered down garbage, though of course there's still too much of that in existence. But I do feel we owe much gratitude and respect to the Safdie Brothers, S. Craig Zahler, Ari Aster, Robert Eggers, Jordan Peele, Denis Villeneuve, Alex Garland, Yorgos Lanthimos, Panos Cosmatos, Gaspar Noe`, Paul T. Anderson (though not a new-comer of course), and I'm sure I have forgotten a couple names which very much deserve to be included in this list, but just the ones that come to mind initially. The excitement and optimism I'm confronted with for the future of film is hard to contain and bewildering when up against my usual cynicism and regretable doubt, both battling for a voice and validation.

[@brandedtotroll9153]

Safdie Bros are big time. As far as I'm concerned they are already great American directors. They are going to be the new Coen Brothers, just watch. Although they have a Scorcese/Cassavetes/De Sica vibe too.

[@williamwong1982]

Definitely the new Coens.

[@tonywords6713]

Pretty different from the Coens but the Scorsese vibe I see plus he produced UG

[@ElRadioDJ913]

They making it big alright.

I want to be friends with these guys. Good time is a modern classic and their taste in films is superb

[@artivism4068]

I could hear them talking about film everyday. You should court them for a monthly series or something.

[@johnulcer]

They have their own series now.

[@ForzaNapoli666]

Their movies are seriously brilliant

[@nikitalavrenov8048]

I've just watched "Night of the hunter", and as soon as this video popped up in my recommendations, I almost knew they boys were gonna mention it.

[@crs2crs2]

Night of the hunter looks like a Gondry video for Bjork. Amazing visuals, one of my all time favorites.

I find it amusing how they can barely get a word out cus they keep talking over each other. I can't imagine how it must be for them writing a film. But that might be why the end products have been so good.

Was it Polanski;s 'The Apartment' that had the shot of the tenant across the way standing in the kitchen with the light on just frozen looking into nothing? That, and the guy jumping to his death twice - at first I laughed how ludicrous it all seemed, but has haunted me ever since. What about that one Criterion?

[@calderfrattaroli9034]

[@douggrave1338]

That's one of the scariest movies ever made.

[@windsofmarchjourneyperrytr2823]

Have you seen House? It's Japanese. Definitely one of the oddest films ever made. Not necessarily scary, but things kids are scared of, if that makes sense. Think Twilight Zone movie where they get sucked into a cartoon? I was pretty unnerved by that as a kid. Especially the Voice of Bart Simpson...what happens to them...

[@CinematicDependency]

LOL I just watched good time and didn't know that was him/ actually thought the actor was mentally handicapped. Well played, sir.

[@TheRealToadfishRebecchi]

[@Benjaminbutton86]

Love that they chose night of the hunter but there’s nothing scary about the river scene… it’s just a touching, sad, beautiful sequence. If anything its a break from the film’s scariness

[@Fivestarman87]

Just watched Night of the Hunter for the first time. Found it visually stunning, but the final act of the film was a bit underwhelming for me. I was expecting to be blown away by the story because of its reputation, but I was impressed most with the expressionistic cinematography/imagery and Mitchum's performance. Anyone else feel this way about the film's conclusion?
