Louis Theroux on My Scientology Movie

[@TheWalkingDavid]

One of the most talented documentarians in the world. Extremely intelligent, kind, and bold.

[@NeoN-PeoN]

+The Walking David And patient AF.

[@TheWalkingDavid]

Yes absolutely. It's honestly something to aspire to. After all, it is a virtue.

[@B0thergirl]

The Walking David *

[@filipdemeyst8842]

And it's very easy to underestimate him.

[@paulphilipson2664]

"...you don't have to go, you're not trespassing" Oh Louis you card.

[@zelie-catheriner52]

+Paul Philipson That's part of the recipe that makes Louis so masterful at what he does. Asks complex questions in very accessible ways, puts (sometimes potentially dangerous) assholes at ease, never gets his feathers visibly ruffled, and injects effortless levity into the most stressful situations imaginable.

[@TheTruthiest]

Love when he turns the tables on the Scientology camera guy and starts coming towards him with his camera phone. I lost it when he asked "Are you making a documentary as well?" Louis trolls so good.

[@jamesphillips5926]

me also , that was the best bit !

[@UGotSerbed]

I love that the Scientology goon is slowly backing away in the confrontation, but shouldn't the gravitas of Louis' massive balls pull him in rather?

[@NotSoLucky_]

Yeah, also when he said "you don't have to leave your not trespassing"

[@connectedonline1060]

[@OSW]

Great interview! Compelling chat, the 12 minutes flew by. Desperately want to see this Scientology movie, devastated it wasn't at any Irish festivals!

[@hanniffydinn6019]

Just download for free you moron !

[@lavivadaloco]

where i cant find it any where?

[@hanniffydinn6019]

lavivadaloco Jesus just goto any torrent website you muppet !

[@lavivadaloco]

Kickass doesnt have it, not found on google either

[@hanniffydinn6019]

lavivadaloco right, it was only released this month it turns out legally, so just give it a few weeks. in the mean time, download and watch the "going clear" documentary.

[@_clauscarstensen]

I am very grateful to Louis Theroux for the work he does, and I think it was a sad mistake for the Church of Scientology to not embrace the opportunity and have an open conversation. This really just leaves us more safe to say: This organisation is not truthful, and it has a lot to hide.

[@DannyBoy...]

Cults don't want an open conversation.

[@AndyWenmanMusicVideo]

This conflict with Katherine tells you so much about how bullies operate and how to undermine them. Brilliant.

[@ryllaxmann1451]

Terrific interview. First time I heard Louis drop the f-bomb, even though he was just repeating what was said. 😂

[@vprocinema]

+Ryllax Mann Thanks Ryllax.

[@jojojorisjhjosef]

+Ryllax Mann He one's said fuck honestly in his "Demolition Derby" episode

[@kanedNunable]

+Ryllax Mann yes, very absorbing. i liked the interviewer's style too. they worked well against each other

[@RegulareoldNorseBoy]

+Ryllax Mann Should check out the Joe Rogan podcast. You really get to know how interesting guy he is.

[@FunkywimHD]

he said 'fucking hell' more than three times in that episode

[@darrenr49]

"you dot have to go, your not trespassing" always loved louis humour >

[@Dunning.Kruger]

+Darren R "you're"

[@darrenr49]

Dunning Kruger thats the only one you found?

[@Dunning.Kruger]

+Darren R No... I just didn't want to be a dick.

[@darrenr49]

Dunning Kruger "Did not"

[@zelie-catheriner52]

Did anyone catch who's being referred to as having said "Fuck you" to Louis ? The interviewer asks a question about him straight after they discuss Marty Rathbun, and I can't understand the guy for a few seconds...

[@Camelworks]

"the road is closed!" Meanwhile infinite traffic goes past them.

[@fuckyshityfuckshit]

Camelworks the fuck you doing here mate. Get back to Tamriel

[@MoonThuli]

@@fuckyshityfuckshit He achieved chim so he could leave nirn and watch Louis theroux

[@chokinonashes67]

Louis is just the best. He has done some of the best investigative documentaries ever. He is so polite and mild mannered that he lulls his subjects into a false sense of security and is always respectful when asking hard questions. The Jimmy Savile doc shows how foul he was, which many people were oblivious of. I didn't like Savile before the truth came out because he was never real. His enablers should be prosecuted or at least outed. Can't wait for this.

[@wailer27]

still waiting

[@mikejarrett3297]

The reason Louis is so good is he's one of a handful of journalists left with ethics, he do

[@jamestaylor8037]

Yeah..piss take ethics full of false humility..but ye gotta love the geek

[@nobody-gh2yf]

He do

[@onehappydogg]

I can't wait, I CAN'T WAIT for this film to come out!

[@eratoisyourmuse659]

"How do you stay so cool?" Louis is a cool cat, thats how.

[@MeVsThevoices]

+Erato IsYourMuse srsly, utterly unflusterable, permanently patient, never see enough of Louis Theroux

[@luisquintana2248]

It think it "just because he's British". For some reason or another British people seem cool and collected all the time, to me that is.

[@blackmore4]

Plenty of frantic ones believe me. But yes, the true English gentleman, such as LT and yours truly, can't be doing with fuss.

[@jeanmarcwatson]

Golly...

[@zelie-catheriner52]

I deeply admire the rare combination of polite level-headedness under extreme pressure and balls of steel, one that Louis clearly has...

[@jim191185]

Louis Theroux should be far more famous than he already is. God knows how Piers Morgan and James fucking Corden have made It in America.

[@sprinlketinkle]

bloody hell well said. yep agree

[@DeoMachina]

Why are loud, dumb assholes popular in the USA? Hmm, I wonder.. (I jest!)

[@purdy9431]

Whats great about Louis is he is dis arming, people loose there public face and show there true horrible colours. great bloke

[@Onmysheet]

Because James Corden has licked so many asses from all the way up, you would be able to smell the shit on his breath if you seen him from 20 yards in the street.

[@jim191185]

Onmysheet lol he's a funny guy sometimes, but it shocks me how HE has made it big in the US, when the UK has plenty of far better comedians/presenters. He must have licked the devils bumhole or something.

[@revjimbob]

10:50"You're considering 'am I going to tell him'"Exactly what I was thinking! Looking forward to this film.

[@sample.text.]

Louis Theroux could probably make a documentary about phonebooks and make it sound compelling. The guy is a legend. Can't wait to see this film.

[@yatesy117]

PLEASE RELEASE THE MOVIE LOUIS

[@AnthonyMonaghan]

Agreed. For a film that was released last year, it's unusual that it isn't available anywhere. I look forward to seeing the film some day. I like Louis a lot. He is one of a kind and extremely good at what he does. The scene where Louis is filming the man filming him and asking if he is in a film is positively Kaffaesque. Brilliantly handled.

[@Henry.Wallace]

+Anthony Monaghan why is it not released anywhere? It was released last year? I'm very confused.

[@JennyWas13]

It's being publicly released later this year. I think they're probably trying to build the hype in the meantime.

[@KnightmareUSA]

It's not on uk dvd so it's nowhere to be seen. No idea if a release is planned

[@leerwesen]

You'd think someone would have made a camrip at this point.

[@Astro201281]

such a professional, even under pressure. Gonzo journalist!

[@Alex-st8de]

Haha "Katherine you don't have to go, you're not trespassing" - Brilliant classic Louis Theroux

[@tomj210]

what if all these documentaries are part of a larger documentary about what its like to be a documentary film maker 🤔

[@supremebuffalo6322]

Lol +Tom James doception?

[@slurms777]

Docuception man come on

[@supremebuffalo6322]

Phil Gillespie Fine then Phil, Docuception.

[@krackajackz]

I've seen every single one of Louis' docs. Every one as riveting as the other!

[@jimreid9186]

"you're considering.... am I going to tell him?.." The interviewer is a genius !!

[@extremistindustries]

I'm very happy that Louis Theroux is back! He's an amanzing man. Hopefully through this doco and with help of podcasts like the JRE, he will become popular in the states.

[@timeweston]

Great questions; challenging and insightful

[@cojuk7]

Some people are desperate for answers regardless if it's truthful

[@dawzee72]

"you don't have to go you're not trespassing !" Brilliant

[@wysiwyg2006]

love louis theroux, forever watchable, very intelligent and has a great way of conducting interviews and is quick minded

[@sarcasmo57]

Louis is great. Loved his weird weekends.

[@villepakarinen]

You've spent weekends with Louis??!! Luckeeeh!

[@tomlennon3469]

Weird weekends was his best work, they were great. This film seems to be more along those lines than his more recent work and I'm glad. I don't know if you've seen his recent work - it's what I'd call 'easy to make' documentaries about mental illness/drug addiction etc which his style of film making is really lost on.

[@KnightmareUSA]

The Scientology episode feels like a follow on from Weird Weekends, yet all recent episodes have been lauded as 'more mature' by some media critics. With scientology, it may suddenly become a mature issue when you have many lawyers on your back watching and waiting - so I suppose it's a mix of both worlds. Everything he has covered before from his previous Weird Weekends and some specials thereafter was completely serious to the oddball cults and believers. The wiki has the most recent episode (A Different Brain) as episode 27 of these bbc2 specials, with the first from 2003. Reading that episode list, I suppose the topics have become more serious as the years have gone by. Whether the serious truly outweighs the odd on what can be covered in the real world is hard to tell. I'm not sure if a new Weird Weekends series could really happen. Serious topics may appeal more to the general public rather than his own cult following of believers ;) but I agree that his laid back method of interrogation is best suited to what is out of the ordinary

[@imnotgayyy8489]

+Tom Lennon agreed! He thrives best in confrontational situations whilst remaining calm. But these guys seem like fucking nut jobs!!

[@andrewdeen1]

I'm so interested in seeing this. Not only because of the subject matter, but really to see how this turns out with using actors and reinactments which is something he's never really done before. I just hate it that noone has any idea when we will get to see this!

[@molagbal7961]

whats happening with the actors?

[@punchline43]

It's explained in the video.

[@MrShabbaaaa]

It's coming out in October or November (I can't remember which) in the UK and January in the US.

[@winston2015]

Everything he does is golden.

[@NxDoyle]

Louis Theroux is the only modern documentary maker I can think of whose presence in the completed work does not detract from the subject matter.

[@JohnSmith-vh1tt]

Louis is great as always, but this interviewer was fantastic. He asked great questions and didn't try to direct Louis's answers.

[@littlehammerman]

I would love to see Louis Theroux interview Donald Trump.

[@sciencegoblin7775]

ha ha it would probably be like the Max Clifford interview years back.....

[@leerwesen]

Or Hillary!

[@midnightshift7330]

+Leer Wesen or both

[@Maryam0]

How I wish that would happen

[@GitaarAnouk]

He's actually planning on making a documentary about him now

[@user-cx5ni7me6l]

Ik kende dit interview van de VPRO nog helemaal niet. Heel nice dat ik het opeens vind. Dank algoritme haha. Thanks voor het uploaden/maken van dt interview.

[@hiphopdmt2167]

This interviewer is excellent. Great questions. And Louis is a delight as usual.

[@daveybaby10]

Louis is by far britains best doc maker and he's not on tv here in the uk enough,is this coming on the BBC or is it cinema release as I need to see it!!!

[@MrJamesdryable]

His honesty and openness is extremely rare.

[@jelle8071]

Having Louis Theroux say your question is really good, wow!

[@generaldom]

So eager to watch this.

[@bilybastrd]

I could watch hours of this. love all his documentaries

[@barrychuckle4306]

Love it when Louis pulls out his phone and records the other cameraman and says "are you filming a documentary too" hahahaha I love Louis

[@whyohwhyfools]

Louis Theroux is a genius and his documentaries he has made thus far with his team new and old will stand the test of time. I can't wait to see this new documentary.

[@NxDoyle]

Look at the 'road closed ' meeting. They're so enlightened and at peace.

[@lavinder11]

This was one of the best interviews of the press tour.

[@eugenepruitt4369]

Don't realize how amazing smart and brilliant you are amazingly talented is so much of a message

[@NicholasAnderson2]

I thought I saw Louis on the subway in LA maybe it wasn't him. Did everyone see that video that the dude broke down Louis style titled "How Louis Theroux Asks A Question | Ryan's Theory" check it out it's epic.

[@braxfan683]

Louis Theroux is SO good, love him. This interview is so good. He's so intelligent, funny + good at his job, + says funny things with a completely straight face! Well done Louis, you're doing a great job X

[@CaptainCorpulence]

Louis is such a wonderful journalist.

[@AnthonyP73]

Those people always seem so hate filled. Very sad lives they must be leading

[@sun-sz7vr]

Great interview, looking forward to the movie!

[@AdvancedWakaWaka]

so excited for the films release!!

[@arturaskarbocius6091]

David Micavige is villain from 80s movie he can be wall street broker but not leader of religion group.

[@SirEnglishBatman]

That part where he pulls out his phone just shows how much of an alpha Louis is. That cameraman backed off instantly.

[@underclas]

did anyone else see a Scientology ad before the video?

[@Nik0ran]

i hate how we haven't heard of a release date yet. can't wait for this.

[@blackmore4]

October or November apparently.

[@michaelvandromme]

He looks much better with a beard

[@croftylol]

Great interview and great questions.

[@LittleVillage24]

I can't wait for his movie on the cult of Islam.

[@LittleVillage24]

Joe Mooney Didn't he do one on Evangelicals already?

[@joemooney12]

+Joe Mooney Omfg my name is Joe Mooney as well

[@sonaliano]

+LittleVillage24 please explain how islam is a cult thx

[@tio9896]

+LittleVillage24 Really? What's he gonna find?

[@omgsolikevalleygirl]

+LittleVillage24 Scientology can not be compared to other "religions". Hubbard didn't even intend for it to be a "religion" originally, he only "explored the religion angle" for financial and legal benefit. Scientology is a breed of its own and far more sinister than many can imagine.

[@02R96]

So who was this "Catherine" who was failing at handling him? He sure handled her very well. Bravo!!!

[@stevedoolan1540]

Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle has let itself go.

[@MikeHermetic]

I've been hearing about this film since before "Going Clear" came out. I'd like to fuckin' see it someday!

[@murphysomerset9822]

Louis Theroux is one of my favorite humans. I have watched every single one of his documentaries, some more than once, and he's just a genuine intelligent passionate and humbled human being. One scene that sticks out the most is during the _Louis Theroux and the Nazis_ doc. He's invited to a straight up unabashed unrepentant Nazi/AB/Skinhead whatever the fuck parasites house and the guy is desperately trying to get him to answer whether or not he's Jewish. Theroux, demonstrating tact and humility simply says, and I'm paraphrasing, _I don't think that matters, for me to answer would give it some importance_ (in this context) ... desperately trying, in return, to find the humanity in this guy; the one single place where they could relate and disregard all the arbitrarily created categories we use to distinguish one another often used as a means of oppression or to justify harm. He's one of the few people alive today I'd love to have long conversation with about life.

[@Sarcastix7]

Louis looks really good with a beard

[@monica_richardson]

Great interview ! Can't wait to see this. Many Scientologists are leaving. Leah Remini's Book has really exposed them on many levels, on a very personal level.

[@edwardmulholland7912]

Anything Louis does is worth watching so I will be checking this film out with interest.

[@stonedroses45]

Love he's documentary movie type tv programs

[@Rogerthatx10]

"Catherine...WOW, WOW YOU ARE ASSAULTING ME!!" Gotta love Louis calling the Scientologists out on their frequent beatings.

[@ShiddyShad808]

Louie is already a badass, imagine if he were also a black belt in Karate and Jiujitsu or something, and carried that extra "I could finish you all with my hands if you ever touched me" confidence.

[@AngloAm]

He's still a master interviewer, so personable.

[@AnthonyTristramMoore]

this is a brilliant interview.

[@izzyrascal8333]

Louis you are a role model I think you're awesome because you show an objective point on your subjects

[@izzyrascal8333]

Even when it's clear you disagree you give everyone their chance to speak x

[@izzyrascal8333]

+Izzy Rascal ps.if you weren't married I would totally pursue you!

[@cognitivefunktion5300]

I wish i was half as well spoken as Louis

[@Sam-kj4kq]

Louie is a very intelligent guy, cant wait to see this!

[@espoppelaars]

Mijn God wat een uitspraak van de presentator... "Siantolojie', 'Teroe'

[@Scorpio391]

Louis is a beast....such a chap

[@31aorlando]

the path to enlightenment is free.... Love louis....

[@rabmc]

I like Louie, seen everything he's done, fantastic

[@Unqualifiedmedicalperson]

there was an ad for Scientology before this video started. goddammit lol

[@MatchesMalone1183]

The whole reenactment thing, I wonder how often it's been used as a device in documentaries. The Art of Killing was the first instance of it that I'd heard about. It's hilarious how switched on and intelligent Louis is in comparison to how he sometimes presents himself to his subjects.

[@toreoft]

Methods for reaching a supreme-like existence is a sure sign of false belief-systems and together these makes a set of (maybe not minimal) sufficient, but not necessary, conditions of a false faith or ideology: 1. Extreme strong belief in texts written by one person, that also contain detailed descriptions of a permanent form of desirable existence, as reward for accepting the ideas and methods. 2. Naming the nonbelievers by degrading names. 3. Retribution acts against those who leave the faith. 4. When trying to discuss their faith or ideology they turn the discussion over to something else, often personal verbal attacks on the person discussing. 5. Uniform clothing, appearance and behaviour.

[@funkyleo1973]

'You don't have to go you're not trespassing' - Brilliant.

[@crotchet1586]

Where's this available to watch?

[@DutchComedian]

she leaves and louis says "You don't have to go, you're not trespassing" LMAO

[@michellem9525]

Massive huge respect for Louis for having the balls to put out to the world the psychosis that is Scientology.. The hypocritical thing about the trespassing is that Scientology does trespass on the lives of ex members and their families so then Why should anyone have respect for their privacy?

[@emilygilbeyful]

his polite bluntness is genius!

[@TheRubberStudiosASMR]

I can't wait to see this

[@eamonnmurphy8116]

Such an utter fucking gem of a man/journalist. A world without Louis Theroux would be a much darker one.

[@montecristo1845]

Scientology: we promote paranoia.

[@monica_richardson]

Similar to AA- AA is not accountable to anyone either. Thank you for making this film .

[@realmikekotsch]

When talking about "performance for the camera" at 7:35 I had in mind, that the Scientology film dudes aren't solely doing to intimidate, but also to make other Scientologists around them stick to their protocol.

[@Jcolinsol]

I really like Louis Theroux. He seems like a deeply empathetic soul.

[@rangers11000]

louis theroux is one of the best documentary filmakers of our time.multiple film makers have tried to take on the church of scientoligy and most have failed and many have had mental breakdowns and a few have commited suicide,yet louis goes in with his passive aggressive,non insulting,exremly forward famous attitude of his and behold louis came out on top once again lol

[@maryhollowell8739]

Thanks to Paul Theroux & Sheila Donnelly for my treasured author response via gmail! Thank you - yes, there is a train to Lhasa, from I think Golmud. I would very much like to take it. When I wrote “Riding the Iron Rooster” I recounted a trip by car to Lhasa, which I took. I said something like “There will never be a train to Lhasa” - but I’m happy to say I have been proven wrong.

[@keithpopko7068]

Scientology knows that a truthful movie about them can only be to their detriment; they HAVE to be in total control of any information given to the public The worst thing that ever happened to them is the internet. Happily, that is something they cannot control. The woman in this clip shows their desperation to control things, and that reflects on how paranoid the Church is. I love watching this so-called church self-destruct a little more every time their behavior is captured on film and posted to the net. Catherine cannot do other than what she's instructed otherwise she'll end up in RPF.

[@notmyname93]

louie still makes documentarys?!? WTF!!!! awesome1!!

[@MrNypdblue911]

Louis Theroux is the most compulsive interviewer on tv, he's just a bl**dy genius

[@inigogw]

very interesting interview

[@Zampther]

Are you making a dokumentry as well , what is yours? Newer seen loui being scary but the way he said that was like somthing out of a horror movie . LOL

[@rahuldahoob2829]

That face off was quite freaky. They both seemed quite scary!! And scared!

[@juandenz2008]

Good interview ! I wonder if he ever got to go down the "closed" road ?

[@maryburnight1643]

I have no words available to me which would correctly convey the depth of desire I have to see Louis Theroux' film, "My Scientology Movie". I cannot locate a copy of it which would be playable via North American (Canadian specifically) viewing signals----any suggestions? Though tbh, I am scared of illegal viewings via Torrents, etc. Otherwise...please could you advise me how to view or buy Theroux's MSM legally?

[@GUITARTIME2024]

Mary Burnight probably buy it as a stream on Amazon. maybe it's on Hulu or netflix.
