Michael Keaton | SmartLess

[@lindadorman2869]

I've always liked Michael Keaton's work but I was blown away by his performance in Dopesick. So much respect for this man!

[@joemckim1183]

Keaton did a movie last year called Knox Goes Away, a really underrated gem of a movie.

[@tommclain8893]

Michael Keaton an underrated gem, never knows what he will do next. GREAT get guys! Back on track

[@jennd5237]

He will always be my Batman! And Night Shift is one of my top ten. Love him!

[@WomensTop20]

Michael Keaton is one of my all time favorites -- and SO DAMN FUNNY in Much Ado About Nothing!

[@YvonneDyson-k6k]

Don't forget this role in The Other Guys. All of his TLC references that he wasn't saying ha. Love Night Shift. He has always been one of the greats to me

[@vlspeaks]

Love this! He is my Favorite BatMan & let’s not forget that Prince did the entire soundtrack. Thank you for this guest gentleman.

[@Aromagirl70]

He is an absolute treasure...and i still think he is the best Batman!!

[@andieayala2828]

We need a part 2 interview!! I could listen to you guys talk to Keaton all day!! My face hurts from smiling throughout the entire interview!!!

[@debbiedoodiedandi]

Oh - My Life! Just hearing him say the name of that movie made me start tearing up😢😢😢

[@johnmitchell7776]

Keaton has so many great movies. "The Paper" and "Spotlight" are two others that I have enjoyed many times.

[@Mike-li4zx]

Keaton is so fucking cool, it's almost unbelievable. His comment on the Ferrari best describes a dude who can have it all but doesn't need it. No giant hole being filled or need to impress anyone. Willem Dafoe is another I really enjoy in interviews.

[@MVKrajnak]

Great interview, especially discussing the practicality of a Ferrari. One of our most underrated actors.

[@angelkay808]

It sounds like Bateman is talking to Keaton and his "Multi-plicity" clones Lance and Rico. Haha. I loved this episode. I just watched Mr. Mom & Multi-plicity last week. Michael Keaton is a gem.

[@benr979]

Hearing Will dork out talking to one of his biggest influences was so awesome. And JB is so right - definitely see the similarities between them. So cool

[@frederickrach5195]

This is the best thing about these guys they're so real and it is so fun to see somebody or hear somebody that is so ah struck about a celebrity when they are just huge celebrities I love that One Celebrity looking at another celebrity themselves and they're both just as excited to meet the other it's crazy just goes to show you we're all just people these are just the people on the playground that everybody likes to listen to and watch and it's because they're awesome they've got shit to say and it's all shit we want to hear or we wouldn't listen I will be here every new episode as long as they keep it up and sometimes I listen twice because I'm not paying attention or I just want to hear it again

[@christicronkhite6398]

Michael Keaton is certainly one of those people who deserved a 2 hour plus interview that could be released as a 2 part show. Very interesting conversation to say the least hearing stories about the tv shows and movies we all watched. 💜💙💜💙💜💙💜 Much love for this episode.

[@monica11760]

Such a good interview -- I love Mr Mom, Night Shift and Beetlejuice. He was so memorable in each of these films.

[@RandyHToyotaBham]

Michael Keaton is a jack and master of all genres! Literally on my Mount Rushmore of actors.

[@dianaaguirre5245]

Keaton is my favorite Batman. Love this guy! Hugs to you all

I've been a fan of Michael Keaton since the first movie I saw him in and that was gung ho. Way back when I was a kid.

[@bernitajenkins7581]

My neighbours are worried... They hear me cracking up outside... I live alone. 🤣 Will... My son has always been a fan. He even named his son Archie. The 3 of you are so freakin' entertaining. Everyone should be lucky enough to have such good mates. Cheers, from OZ 🇦🇺👋

[@tobi41122]

Clean & Sober is the movie that I saw Michael Keaton as a character actor. If you have never seen this movie, you must. In “Much Ado About Nothing” you cannot take your eyes off him. He steals the scene. My son in law works at the airport escorting VIP’s, he met Mr Keaton & he found him to be a genuine pleasure to escort. Hope you enjoyed fly fishing. 😉

[@jasonisjasondoes]

Keats! There's so many good movies to talk about, that's why I always go to Multiplicity for some olden day, modern comedy.

[@Dan-ys8nk]

Multiplicity was a great comedy movie. 90s blast from the past.

[@angelkay808]

This podcast episode sounds like Keaton is talking to Clone One, Clone Two and Jason Bateman. I love it.

[@joels1986]

"We're gonna eat a dolphin" "Hey Doug, Come-on up im spittin on bugs" "Here's your pizza" ❤️ Multiplicity

[@misterfred0528]

Will has always reminded me of Michael Keaton, especially Keaton’s early career years, I have always been impressed by Keaton’s career progression from Mr Mom to Batman but he couldn’t have made the jump between the two without Clean & Sober. It makes me wonder if studios or agents still monitor and develop their actors like Keaton. He’s my favorite Batman.

[@baronvonraschke77]

I don't think enough people know about Clean and Sober. It was a revelatory performance at the time. Morgan Freeman was good in it too and was not widely known and admired as the Morgan Freeman of today. Keaton also played an edgy nut in the movie The Dream Team, that came out shortly before Batman in 1989. I don't remember it as being a particularly good movie but I remember thinking at the time "Maybe Keaton can play a good Batman after all."

[@cherylstiers1768]

@@baronvonraschke77 I loved Dream team With Keaton and Christopher Lloyd

[@baronvonraschke77]

@@cherylstiers1768 Maybe I should re-watch it. I remember thinking it had its moments, just that it wasn't great. Let's be honest, few films are. I do remember, to the orginal point, thinking Keaton could probably play Batman, which requires being somewhat of a nutter.

[@seamlab8870]

I love “Mr. Mom” so much. It is the sweetest movie ever with the most poignant performances by Terri & Michael. And I loved the approach that anyone, no matter the gender struggles with raising kids and the ruts we all can get in. And of course the loyalty and love angle (classic conversation with himself about why he shouldn’t cheat).

[@TheGeekAuthority]

Wonderful guest in Michael Keaton. So much fun and down-to-earth he was. Now, if Will, once again, could not literally dominate the hour, we might have gotten even more Michael Keaton. Just please dial it down a little Will. Thanks Sean and Jason for squeezing in what you could. Fun!

[@wellscampbell9858]

I used to work as a carpenter and a good friend would give me contract work in his metal shop here and there. He needed an invoice, so I made one up that had my name and address followed by "220, 221, whatever it takes". One of the top comedy movie lines ever, and to find out who came up with it makes it even more interesting.

Johnny Dangerously!!

I watched Johnny Dangerously once. ONCE!!!😂😂😂

[@annsanse2935]

i remember teri garr on the letterman show once where he had a fit because she was chewing gum. so after he finished his rant about her rudeness she waited a beat and said, "your hair looks like a squirrel's nest," which got a big laugh. thereafter, gum chewing got to be a thing for awhile with some celebs on the show and letterman would just have to hold back and ignore it, and "squirrel's nest" also had a run in a some of the gags for awhile.

[@rastagirl007]

Thank you for this wonderful interview. Michael Keaton is pure charm and clearly appreciates his life. I have to mention, Report To Murphy, a series i loved!! Saw an interview with Mr. Keaton where he talked about his seeing a young fan ( after Batman) in an airport and signaled for the kid to keep a secret!! What a lovely interaction and certainly showed class on Mr. Keaton's part.( Unlike a sports " star" who recently was cruel to a young French fan) Thanks again for interviewing a fabulous person. Love this Podcast. ❤😊

[@kevindang5260]

[@jenn976]

I don't like writing this but here goes: "Dopesick" was good but this podcast reminds me how much better it is, sometimes, to not know the person behind the character. It seems ALL the guys - the 3 hosts AND Keaton agreed there is no such thing as luck. Well too bad, luck exists whether you believe it or not (like gravity). You ALL are incredibly lucky - to be born male, white, in the US, etc. etc. Once you say - like that ass, Jerry Seinfeld, - you don't believe in luck and it's only by all your hard work you've gotten where you are etc., you show your arrogance ungratefulness. Even with all the protestations of "how grateful" you are, the luck thing gives it away. Yes, yes, we all work hard. Coal miners must work the hardest, people in Africa walking miles for water work very hard, working hard is something most of us do, if we need to. Admit you're lucky, just go ahead and do it. Only then can you begin to open yourselves to gratefulness a little at a time. I'm basing this comment on what you all said in this podcast. I'm sure I'll come off as a screed and don't really care - I'm just some rando on the internet. But honestly, when you think about the incredible luck to be where you are now, you have to admit it does indeed exist. Luck and the system that helped you start out where you did. Used to enjoy these guys but not anymore. There are more comedic podcasts to choose from.

[@loftie351]

[@debbiedoodiedandi]

OMG - and Ron Howard could direct!

[@Bobbydawriter]

I can tell you what Keaton was doing the weekend Batman opened - he was playing softball in Encino on our Show Biz League team. I remember distinctly Michael hitting into a double play at a crucial moment in the game and how dejected and apologetic he was to me and the guys on the bench - I told him “forget about it you’re fucking Batman” but he wasn’t buying it, he dropped his head and said “Yeah, Batman who hit into a double play.” Double play aside he’s a helluva good ball player…and equally a nice guy.

What is up with ads every 5 minutes? I can't listen to this anymore. It's more ads then you guys. Edited to add and respond: I just listened to it and there were no ads; great guest and a fun podcast. I'm assuming by the thumbs up I received, that others experienced what I did. I did not mean I was never going to listen to them again as someone suggested, because I love these guys. I just didn't want to listen to this particular podcast because of what was happening. Yes, I know I can skip ads (duh), but I'm not sitting there staring at a podcast with no videos, I'm listening to it while doing other things . Maybe something was screwed up, I don't know. I just don't think I've ever heard that many ads timed so close together.

[@jojojim91]

but it's been pretty documented that Batman 89 really brought it all together - the marketing, the Summer blockbuster, the box office, the merchandise, etc. It was an enormous success from a studio standpoint.

[@debbiedoodiedandi]

I get what you're saying, but Batman really felt like a comic book come to life. Then you had the pop culture aspect, the world building, it was just a different feel. Even the music - Prince - was so different from what they did with Superman. Eventually people burned out on it, but then Marvel came along and changed the formula again.
