Judd Apatow | Hold On To That Authenticity | Mike Birbiglia’s Working It Out Podcast

[@rottensquid]

After listening to literally every single Working It Out podcast, it's incredibly neat to get the visual element. It's funny how much more laid back the video feels than the audio. Don't know why.

I love this. It makes sense why I tend to gravitate to Judd Apatow projects. I relate to the dad putting a book about divorce in front of him. My dad told me he was gay when I was 7 by showing me Too Wong Fu : Thanks For Everything... Oh parents...

[@noovernightguests]

Love these laid conversations especially with filmmakers. As someone whose had different roles behind the camera it’s interesting how Judd views creativity or I guess originality in this space. How the questions he asks for himself and the audience has changed and how hits like Bridesmaids don’t just come together, it’s months and years of working with a script, living with characters. Thanks guys!!

[@GoldandPinkLight]

Love you both. Great conversation. So looking forward to seeing Mike in Asheville end of this year.

[@dominiczerafa8990]

Love this. Thank you

Best interview I've seen so far on your show Mike. Proves it's not all gnashing of teeth on the other side of the wall :)

[@IAMCCSuarez]

The Hurt video gets me every time.

I’m just here for the Falcon Crest shoutout

Apatow, Seinfeld, and Shandling always leave me feeling more spacious. They're like enlightened cynics, approximately.

[@beewcar]

Seinfeld is anything but enlightened 🙄

[@jenwightman4330]

Yeah, one of these things is not like the others.

Prayer goes way down to the deep Center. There is no up but death.

Judd Appetite

[@staceyhansknecht5470]

Speak for yourself 🤣 John Mulaney is someone who has inspired me to pursue comedy

[@rottensquid]

I think he's just on a very different wavelength than these two, but your wavelength might be more attuned to his. Or rhythm. Or whatever. It's like, they're looking at him going, "what is he even doing to get such effortless comedy out?" But maybe you watch him and kinda have the feel of how those thought processes turn into jokes.

[@leeroychile]

Bridesmaids is the better title.

[@eriwi]

Judd Apatow almost has the profound realization that there are people younger than him who therefore have different cultural touchstones, but instead chooses to whine.

[@Seapatico]

Eh, I'm not sure that's fair. I think that's the realization he was having, he's just saying it while feeling upset that the world is slipping away from him. Personally, I don't read that as whining.

[@Pidxr]

Wow, read C Marlowe

[@Turtlpwr]

lol sure why not.

[@bardsamok9221]

Stop whining you hypocrite. This was a fun listen

[@rottensquid]

I'll bet he's getting there. But there's also this side of his brain that resists. And that's where a lot of his comedy comes from. Self-sabotage is comedy gold. So even if he also had the revelations, that's not as funny as sharing the part of his psyche that's trying to block it.

[@miguelcorona6897]

He killed comedy and humor. He is not funny

[@weispaints]

Apatow has some Micheal Jordan level delusion. He’s by far the most successful comedic director of this generation. Yet he acts like he’s still an underdog and victim constantly. It’s a little annoying like dude you’re a 50 year old worth hundred of millions. Just admit you’re on top. Stop with the timid I was bullied as a kid act already.

[@bardsamok9221]

I'm sorry you're hurting. Guy has higher standards than you, deal with it.

[@weispaints]

@@bardsamok9221 what? I called him the greatest comedy director of our generation lol Do you know how to read?

[@brussellchitchens]

God doesn't exist kids. We're talking to ourselves. Do what you need to do to take that time.
