Josh is hilarious. If you haven't seen him on the season finale of Hot Ones, look it up. He's amazing.

[@shikhar.awasthi]

Easily among the best episodes!

[@themothermarkos]

His episode on the Deakins podcast (James and Roger Deakins talking about their projects) is amazing too, Josh has a fascinating mind.

[@cleverusername9369]

He was so fun and down to earth, and he took those wings like an absolute boss.

[@jjbeans2618]

I didn’t know he was such a crazy funny individual. I had a blast watching him on Hot Ones!

[@justincashin3044]

Was great

[@NewMessage]

And the 'guess the order the clips go in' game begins!

[@tvorchay]

It's not too hard! If the clip starts with him sitting alone it's probably the first. So, here you guessed right the first time ;-]

[@Jermays173]

I don't understand why it's so hard for them to label them.

[@jamesbullo]

@@tvorchay First one is easy enough. It's the others that waste time.

[@williamrayburn5314]

Literally thinking where is the rest of the interview now $#*&!!?? ......then, oh this person gets it. It’s like they just want the clicks but do they need them? I mean really?? Anyhooz have a lovely day.

[@terryjacobs5947]

Omg it drives me crazy!!

[@Ennuibody]

Denis already a directing powerhouse (just look at his filmography) and he's still so young (for a lauded director). I hope he maintains the vision and will going forward.

[@herrschneider5310]

Same thing with Robert Eggers, these two make movies with the experience and clarity of vision of much older more experienced directors. Hope to see much more from them

[@senguptasayn]

The more he's aging the more he is looking like Jeff Bridges.

[@ShelbyBaby27]

Him and Chris Pine

[@EM-cs7jw]

[@dandylandpuffplaysminecraf8744]

He looks exactly like James Brolin.

[@louisrousseau1006]

CHristian Bale looks exactly like his father, James Brolin, insane

[@Blashmack]

I love how active Josh Brolin is in his interviews! He stands up and moves around and does a lot of physical comedy.

[@GreyCrowe]

Josh is definitely someone you'd involuntary turn a handshake into a hug with

[@greyghost3497]

This interview was perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

[@kwaynelovejoy8543]

That was a skewed thing to note...

[@Slamdoxicalz]

Zip it, Thanos

[@Frooderick]

Let’s not forget his not-so-humble beginning in one of the best 80’s movies: The Goonies.

[@LeftHandLane5]

I think you may be mistaken you mean the best. 🤣

[@simonederobert1612]

How dare you?! That movie is a CLASSIC! A CLASSIC, I say! Especially for us nerds.

[@nocalsteve]

I finally saw No Country for Old Men last night. That was a great movie.

[@AA-qt1hi]

Josh Brolin...is just such a chill man! I adore how goofy he can be. And his sense of humor makes him that more attractive! He'll be that aged grandpa still mischieviously trolling his grandkids well into his late years.

[@jasonflay8818]

Josh Brolin is slowly turning into Jeff Bridges, and I'm here for it!!

[@mamallama7708]

He looks like his dad James Brolin.

[@jasonflay8818]

@@mamallama7708 wow, I am an idiot. I never made the connection that Josh is James' son, but yup you are correct, he is the spitting image of his dad at that same age

[@BooksForever]

That man is sharp - a delightfully quick wit!

[@necrophiliacin_lace628]

really digging Outer Range already! the first two episodes really pulled me in.

[@graceb710]

Yes! I'm addicted

[@RedRoadWoman7]

Josh is such a troublemaker! LOL! Gotta love him!

[@CloudsGirl7]

Cannot WAIT for part two of Dune!

[@robertcowan7610]

Oh I so know what you mean. I'm a huge Dune fan. I actually wish that the movies, 1 and 2, were put out very close together and that each was really long and immersive. Denis' visuals are sublime, superb, nearly perfect.

[@daveclark8337]

You HAVE to wait. They haven't even started shooting yet, so 2023 release at the earliest.

[@pilarg.rodriguez7919]

I love Josh, especially in his role as Frank Chambers in "Labor Day" Simply spectacular!

[@ericthompson3982]

I saw Lynch's Dune when I was in 3rd grade and immediately went to read the book. Bless my mother for telling me I could read whatever the hell I wanted to. David Brin, Frank Herbert, Robert Heinlein, Stephen King, Isaac Asimov, anything I wanted. As long as I was reading, she was cool with it.

[@StartPlayFinish]

Josh Brolin has quickly become one of my favorite people on this planet.

[@danielrasmussen2167]

Dude is fucking hilarious.

[@666zombee]

Who's Josh Brolin that is Corey Webster lol

[@graceb710]

Have you watched Outer Range yet? He's amazing in it.

[@mamaconsuelo7609]

Just totally fell for Josh Brolin's easy-going manner. Killed it so smoothly.

[@jhamler1]

Josh Brolin is legit one of the bestest talk show guests on the planet. Just saw him on Hot Ones, too. The man is likable af.

[@Ateka9]

Him and McConaughey are absolute charisma monsters

[@billg3356]

If DC ever decides to do a direct adaptation of Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, Brolin would be perfect

[@edwardfletcher7790]

Josh isn't very tall, but he's got the head of a tall man. And what a charismatic fellow 👍

[@julioperez1850]

Funny seeing Brand on The Late Show. I just watched him on the Goonies the other night! Cult classic!

[@jacovawernett3077]

I need to watch it again. I forgot he was Brand.

[@JustineJustified]

I am awake this late because my puppy, Brolin, who I just got two days ago, had to go potty and now I’m watching a James Brolin interview that coincidentally pops up at the perfect time. I am so sleep deprived.

dayum! he's even better than I thought

[@bothellkenmore]

He hosted SNL in 2008 and 2012 so the clips are out there.

[@mamallama7708]

He looks so much like James 😀 both such awesome actors.

Everywhere on every channel. It's ridiculous! Report them all

[@sunshine3914]

It’s annoying, but do realize that KZbin has workers reviewing every clip that’s been reported for all types of violence... like beheadings & animal abuse. For comments, I hope they just have some type of computer programming to zap them. I have been seeing less & less.

Can anybody tell me what‘s the song?

[@666zombee]

It's Corey Webster !

[@truthreignsforever9286]

Below is the link of a song 🎵 used in one of Josh Brolin’s first breakout roles I’ll forever remember him by when I was a skateboarding kid. 1986 “Thrashin”, one Josh Brolin’s forgotten roles as a skateboarder kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXXalHuLmqxphMU love it !!! Glad they got a video for this song, at last. Most people know Josh Brolin from “Sicario” and other movies as he was older. Also, Goonies, almost forgot. But “Old Boy” is another favorite of mines with Josh Brolin. I think I even like it more than “Thrashin”. The little clip at the end with Josh Brolin smiling did it for me. After all he went through in “Old Boy”, he managed to eek out a smile as the movie closed… letting us know that there’s always hope for us. Spike Lee deciding to do that was the most significant part of that movie imo. But I will always remember Josh Brolin from “Thrashin”, a 1986 skateboard movie where Josh was about…..?……he couldn’t be more than 20 years old? But he played as an older teenager as, perhaps, an 18 year old? His character anyways. But yeah, that was a cult classic movie for me. I was into skateboarding as a kid at the time so that movie was as doubly significant for me. Got it on Amazon prime. Josh Brolin’s girlfriend in the movie was beautiful. Her name was Pamela Gidley. She passed away in 2018 at 52 years of age. Condolences 💐 to her family. This song always takes me back to the movie where Josh Brolin’s girlfriend’s older brother and his gang despised Josh as they were skateboard rivals………..But one night they happen to see Josh Brolin skateboarding on his way home at night……….and the gang pursued him in wanting to mob him……….then this song “wild in the streets” initiated…….that was a cool scene……..they chased Josh Brolin through the structured 3 or 4 floor parking car garage when he finally managed to elude the gang. This song takes me back to that movie scene in 1986.

[@michaelvilain8457]

They never mention "So tell me, what are you getting your step mom Barbara Steisand for Mother's Day?"

[@dieg000n]

Josh's behaviour shows that he's hanging a lot with Ryan Reynolds hahah

[@Razorgirl]

Stephen forgot to mention Deadpool 2. Which is strange for a Geek of his calibre.

[@DeltaDemon1]

He was in Everest?

[@catherinekoch3735]

I got him confused with James Brolin...but that's his dad who is married to Barbara Streisand...she is not his mother fyi.

Plus James Brolin is kind of a time travel version of Christian Bale.
