hope this helps Matt get a show at the Rivoli

[@benrosn8154]

Matt Johnson Is totally under appreciated, he's a genius

[@Lovicide]

I hope he's given a ton of film deals after this. The projects he likes to focus on are always intriguing

[@edwardhannah8507]

I'm glad Matt Johnson is getting more attention. His last two movies and tv show were great.

[@titusmccarthy]

I've given all 3 of his movies 7/10. Blackberry is probably the one most deserving of any 8/10.

[@edwardhannah8507]

@@titusmccarthy Yeah Blackberry is his best thus far. I've started to notice a trend in his films when it comes to the two main characters. They're best friends until s**t hits the fan.

[@titusmccarthy]

@@edwardhannah8507 Yes. The Dirties was like that.

[@Chillerll]

I know. I wish there were more questions for him.

[@roadrollerdio565]

Really great to see Glenn Howerton, Jay Baruchel and Matt Johnson's dynamic offscreen. Wish they would work together again!

[@elizabethp2395]

I could watch this talk all day. I was getting a masters in computer science at NYU (and then recently graduated) when the events in this movie took place. It was such a nutty time because the internet was coming online (pun intended) and it was sooo "wild wild west," if you will. My whole engineering career (10 years before I left) was for internet startups; I knew guys like the Blackberry guys. I LOVED the movie.

[@mxjokereh]

Great talk, great host, great questions

[@TheMrlittletooth]

That last quesrion was really good.

[@deetoemah]

This was a great panel. One of the best I've ever watched for a movie. It also seemed like Glenn, Jay, and Matt really enjoyed being apart of it. Sometimes you'll see actors, directors, writers, etc., on a panel and they just look miserable or disinterested, but not here. Matt especially is so passionate about this project and it's refreshing to see.

[@saasjunction]

Blackberry was revolutionary 😍

[@BeingIntegrated]

Truly, a fantastic movie

[@titusmccarthy]

The movie or the device?

[@saasjunction]

@@titusmccarthy Both 😄

[@jordanrioscreations]

I really enjoyed this movie, I was pleasantly surprised with how funny and well written it was, all three of these guys were a blast to watch, I look forward to seeing more from Matt Johnson!

[@Isaacandjed]

Matt Johnson is the GOAT

[@GrantKanigan]

Josh Lanzet was a fantastic moderator, very smart questions, super relaxed and quick! This was my first time watching one of these; great stuff!

[@commaJim]

Amazing movie. Just saw it a few nights ago. Glenn and Jay absolutely kill it

[@emeral311]

I cried since this is exactly the type of situations playing out in the corporate with regards to AI. The parallels are super interesting.

[@RomesThe59]

Best movie of the year so far

[@williamfreemon3878]

Dude Matt Johnson is hilarious. Jay patting him when he starts messing with the web site gal to lay off was great

[@pookiepookie6305]

Matt Johnson is a fucking genius

[@johnmchugh8049]

Blackberry was amazing Glenn, Jay and Matt were perfection

[@rudeboyspodcast]

Just saw the movie on demand after not having a theater show it in my town. Loved it! I was already a fan of Matt Johnson and I will agree this is his most accessible work. Hoping people check out his older stuff now!

[@OwenWithAHammer]

Really entertaining talk!

[@CheesecakeMilitia]

Man that last question and the discussion it generated was inspiring

[@tmtmtg]

This was a great watch i love these guys

[@masseysmoviemadness1411]

Great film - excellent panel, so good to hear the director talk as well

[@blues05]

I've just watched the movie last night and it's the best movie I've seen in 2023!

[@just-nala]

Looking forward to watching the movie :-))

[@k310501]

damn it got too comedic at the end i love it

[@jmjgow]

As a balding man, I found this empowering 😂😂

[@thomasc2680]

3 brilliant dudes

[@def4983]

Matt’s accent joke at the end 😮😅😅

[@tech.startups]

Good movie! Feels like Jay played himself in the movie.

[@ranikantari334]

Jay talking about how people like people telling them stories is frighteningly similar to his character talking about people liking keyboards on phones...

[@michaelmoratto]

Yeah it may be true, but everyone is convinced otherwise for the moment

[@ilovelamar3]

Best movie!!

[@BertieJRussell]

Matt Johnson directing a Mass Effect sitcom based on Normandy crew members on shore leave when?

[@videoestres]

This is Matt and Jay biggest plan yet they probably getting a show at the Rivoli after this

[@shahryar]

I like how they described the script at 5:19. Is it available to view anywhere?

[@heyroodeanwings]

The audience questions is more entertaining & insightful.

[@mustardegg2]

That’s a nice white shirt. I am jealous.

[@zachwhitehorn7926]

Great movie! Saw it for Howerton but ended up being totally engrossed.

Google talks is still happening?

[@awesomeman462]

moderator sounds like glenn mixed with jay

[@GataZGinkgo]

Fr, it was weird listening to this in the background

[@JJmystic]

Yeah operation avalanche and the dirties don’t get enough love

[@lucasglowacki4683]

Nothing more unsettling than a ultra confident bald man…it’s like cauliflower ears. You don’t wanna fuck with that..😂
