J. K. Simmons (Whiplash, Spiderman) joins us this week to share stories from his time in this industry going from waiting tables and scrounging for pizza - to becoming an Academy Award Winning actor and making his name in films like Whiplash, Spiderman, and Juno… J. K. talks about the love that is behind the anger of many of his iconic performances while going on to tell us what the most fulfilling moment of his career was with the great Aaron Sorkin. The real treat of this episode was when his brother, David Simmons (The UBU Project) joined us. David talks about being a suicide attempt survivor and how he’s using his experience, recovery, and musical background to save the lives of our youth. Powerful episode this week folks, hope you enjoy it.

J.K's performance in Whiplash was exactly my tempo

[@davidarcher3386]

LOL

[@pascova5088]

this is a perfect comment

[@kungfew1396]

I never thought I'd see a fast paced and exciting jazz movie with academy award level performances but then I watched Whiplash, absolutely superb film.

[@whaguitars]

100%

[@woodjohnn]

Probably the biggest surprise I’ve ever had in a cinema. Went because nothing else was on, didn’t know what it was about, easily top ten films of all time for me. Have had an experience like that since.

[@okaycassidy]

him and miles were actually so insane i rewatched it the other day

[@jaybee7414]

One of my favorite actors-he was something in HBOs Oz and his role in Whiplash was amazing

[@TheMarcodiator]

OZ Is where I discovered him. One of the best series EVER. He was the leader of the Aryan Brotherhood. Just... what an actor!

[@markmike7933]

boy was he mean.

[@charlesderosas5577]

​@@TheMarcodiator Before sopranos and the wire, we had "Oz"

[@TheMarcodiator]

@@charlesderosas5577 One of the best shows ever made in my opinion.

[@mosaicmind88]

Highly recommended movie. It stays with you. And dare I say, a quotable catchphrase that I use all the time!

[@shanekc3738]

Not my tempo

There is a world where J.K. plays Gandalf and I would be down for it.

[@Professional-Hater]

Balrog would become a bitch just by JK's voice

[@johnnytheyoungmaestro]

My dad and I saw this movie just last night, and I really must say that Miles and J.K. both CRUSHED these parts! I did also learn that this movie came out in 2014, so it will be 10 years this year. It's so cool that he has a natural ability to play a music teacher, even though that character was just brutal. But hey, it's all so that the students can grow, and learn tough lessons. That's why music is such a strict, but worthwhile career to go after. :)

[@cards0486]

I’m crazy about Miles Teller ever since TOP GUN:MAVERICK. I want to see his performance. So young for such a forceful strong performance.

[@djolo5140]

extremely underrated actor

[@dominique9187]

My son an i loves this movie and JK Simmons, amazing, strong and moving !! WHIPPLASH 👍

[@baharam98]

I saw the movie a few days ago. It was one of the best movies I've seen. VERY NICE WORK by all the stars in it.

[@michaellake5269]

Amazing movie. The man you would love to hate. As a novice drummer, I had to watch but he scared the hell out of me.

[@attila5078]

he's great actor,greetings from Türkiye !

[@lindamawdsley6130]

Sounds an interesting movie will have to watch it😊

[@dwaynecox2002]

Oh it’s a wild ride. The last 10 minutes…….whoa.

[@astr0sauce]

please please do

[@kovulion7777]

Mr Fantastic was not giving him his Spiderman photos that day

[@joyofnothing]

Complete breakaway performances in a total breakout film. The word performance doesn’t do justice to the one pointed mindedness of these actors in their roles. A truly beautiful thing to behold.

[@somebuddyX]

JK was really awesome in a TV show called Counterpart. I also thought he was great in The Mexican and oh my god he was hilarious in Burn After Reading.

[@johncrafton8319]

Throughout the entire movie, coming from my own experience, I kept saying to myself "Over the top...not at all how that would happen...totally unrealistic...what's he doing?" All that and more. Even so, when the movie was done, I was shocked to discover that I enjoyed it and that I enjoyed the performances of the characters. I have to wonder if all those unreal touches and odd choices were actually part of the reason the movie was so good. And no, I'm not talking about the throwing the chair or the slapping or the mental-hunger-games or the verbal "abuse". That stuff was, oddly enough, pretty close to on-point when it comes to how some of these type of people can be.

[@jasimstutsrblx]

his JJJ performance was so good they didnt even replace him fir 3 different sagas

[@xtop23]

I fucking love JK. That guy simply gets it. He does. He’s just…..so… good. His insight and nuance….. his TASTE….. he gets it.

[@astr0sauce]

god whiplash is so good

[@DeathCon666]

Weird seeing him with facial hair now. I’ve always acknowledged him as a clean shaved person.

[@supitsparth]

Nolan!!!!!

[@bonnolog]

watching at home i was clenching my fists the whole movie. It was something.

[@thuydoan7496]

JK Simmons' iconic role was in the Spider Man series.

[@franciscofarias6385]

If you're a redditor, yes

[@seinarukishi9228]

@@franciscofarias6385 I would say the opposite. Redditors are going to be the pretentious fucks who think whiplash was any good.

[@Zuko-9]

Bro where the fool vid

[@fastng]

not quite my tempo

[@adriang6259]

Frightening character. Great job.

[@john1959ism]

This role made me HATE Simmons. Every time I see his grill on those stupid insurance ads, I change channels.

[@EamonKelly]

So do you hate Simmons or Fletcher?

[@bonescheffel7795]

Except at the end he sacrifices everything just to get revenge against someone he doesn't care about--it makes no sense. Great performances for sure.

[@astr0sauce]

you don’t get it

[@Joeypopshot]

Neiman was Fletchers Charlie Parker. Makes total sense to me. Brilliant execution of the film on all levels.

[@markmarsh27]

I couldn't watch that movie because of the J.K Simmons character - torture and savagery like THAT are never justified, ever.

[@darkoale3299]

Stick to cartoons kid
