[@SaintMartins]

I think Crispin has been waiting his entire career to have someone who understands him interviewing him. Nardwuar is that guy 100%.

[@buckaroocomics]

This guy is so meticulous about his work and almost psychopathic in his research…….the other guy is Crispin Glover.

Crispin has the most unusual energy of anybody ever. Like he's confident but a complete introvert at the same time. I feel like all of his answers are sincere but also like he might collect squirrel skins in his basement.

People are going to miss this man more than they realize when he’s gone. Although this was closer to decades ago than not. Always cherish true artists in person whenever you all can while they are doing what they do. Never ever ever rely upon the assorions that whoever they are but that “they@ will “always be around” because they may have prior to your awareness. I’ve seen thousands of shows from every Beatle but Lennon, to CSNY Iggy, Bowie, (sadly no Lou) but thousands of different acts from Simon & Garfunkel to Brian Wilson performing Pet Sounds and also Smile to Radiohead post Sid reunion Sex Pistols and even nirvana in 93 and the first few lollapaloozas and all those artists and the 4TB through 7th Coachella and and and so many more but go see artists live asap. Peace and love

[@phnigra111]

I hope that Crispin begins his film screenings again soon.. I read that he plans on releasing a third film thereby putting a cap on the trilogy. He’s just what we need in this scared pitiful little world we live in..

[@leighannenight]

I got the chance to see the show and What Is It a bit before the panini and it was one of the craziest movie/theatre experiences in existence. It really is a long show, well over three hours with the Q&A at the end. They guys at the theatre kept coming to pointing at their watches and Crispin was like , yeah we'll be done soon... hour and half later they come in again. It was truly amazing. Crispin can really talk forever. I think Nardwuar might have met his match in quirky weirdness.

[@DeconvertedMan]

I looked up on his webpage - looks really dark? Can you give a mini-review of the film itself?

[@plothora]

@@DeconvertedMan ^^ what he said!

[@leighannenight]

@@DeconvertedMan during the slideshow/bookreading at the beginning I was so caught of guard by just the pure absurdity of what I was witnessing. I was just sitting there wide eyed and about halfway through I had a laughing fit that basically continued until the movie. 100% recommend if you ever get the chance to see it just be aware going in that you have to have an open mind, sit through the painful parts (I did have moments where I was asking myself if I should get up and leave) and listen to what Crispin has to say at the end. And be prepared to be there for 5 hours.

cripsin glover did the most perfect doot doot i could possibly imagine

[@Ash.Attack]

only crispin could out eccentric narduar. Its surprising how narduar lets hhm fully get his answers out.

[@vickielawson3114]

That’s what I was thinking. Nardwuar is accustomed to being the wackiest guy in a situation, but Crispin wasn’t phased one bit by it.

I love Crispin Glover so much. His approach to acting, literature and music are all really intriguing to me even if they're flawed. Rat Catching is one of my favourite books.

[@Despondencymusic]

This is the most quiet I've seen Nard. Crispin has taken over the show.

[@Nobodie92]

This is definitely one of his most INTERESTING interviews.

[@franf.4479]

Crispin's work is really fascinating, and i love that Nardwuar isn't the weird one in the room.

[@waltercoyle6393]

Some people want to win an Oscar. Others want to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Me? I want to get famous enough to get interviewed by Nardwaur the Human Serviette.

[@KidFresh71]

I always appreciate interviewers who don't rush their guests, and give the conversation room to breathe.

[@homiechristo]

Watching this makes me believe that Crispin was the perfect casting for George McFly

[@TheFuzzyboy1976]

The first thing I did upon finding this gem of an interview was research Crispin’s age , he hasn’t age at all , and is in his late 50s , and something else that I was mind blown , he portrayed “Andy Warhol” , in the film about the rock band “The Doors “ , I was brown away by who was that actor , until I found out it was Crispín , it was the most perfect thing, he nailed it perfectly, another fun fact , he had never been married or have kids but one of his girlfriends was a Penthouse pet of the month beauty , Crispín is a very intelectual and fascinating character, very intriguing,original and interesting

[@vickielawson3114]

Yep, he’s aged incredibly well and his intellect and creativity are pretty fascinating. I don’t think Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis are fans, but hey, you can’t please everyone.

[@charlesfarley28]

Only you, my magnificent anthropomorphic paper towel, could conduct an interview with this notoriously mercurial man that the result, contrary to the bulk of his prior experience, is that Glover finds himself the one caught flat-footed, with the internal monologue reading something to the effect of, "What an eccentric individual I've come to encounter!

[@Barnaclebeard]

He dailled everything way back to meet Crispin's energy and the subject matter of the interview.

[@muziktrkr]

In some ways he reminds me of John Cassavetes - how he would do his "commercial" acting gigs to bankroll his groundbreaking independent films. I'm sure he also learned a lot from his father on how to survive in Hollywood.

Ah yes. The late great Danny Glover. Top rates.

I can imagine Crispin Glover playing Patrick Bateman in American Psycho.

[@SturgusLipmonger]

Bateman was supposed to be like a yuppie. A slick, completely normal businessman type who’s vain, obsessed with fitness and wealth, but secretly a monster. Glover’s one of my fav actors, but I don’t see him pulling off Bateman’s exterior, “normal”, superficial yuppie type. He’s rarely, if ever, played normal. Now, he could play Bateman’s inner monologue, maybe. 🤣

River's Edge is such an Amazing Movie Crispin Glover's performance in that film is an all time classic. I put it on last week and my wife sat down and watched it with me I didn't tell her anything about it.
