I love Rodriguez, he is one of my inspirations. He admitted he loves his style and isn't the best writer, which i think everybody would agree with. I would love him to get some fantastic scripts and direct them rather than doing his own thing

[@thebrazilianatlantis165]

Planet Terror is a fantastic script.

[@manicallydepressedclown8064]

Idk the sin city movies are pretty goood script wise

[@dylanthrillmour866]

Rodriguez & Tarantino are my fucking heroes. I was watching Spy KIDS when i was really young, then i snuck into my gran's living room when she was watching Kill Bill 1 & watched the full thing & felt so inspired. I only discovered Kevin Smith recently by watching Mallrats & Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back & absolutely adore him too. Smith is the comic-book nerd filmmaker. He makes films that have loads of references towards pop culture which is so cool. Tarantino, Smith,& Rodriguez were the underground filmmakers of the 90s that said "fuck Hollywood!" & went ahead & made their movies without any studio execs holding them back. Gotta respect them!

I'm sure Fatboy Smith appreciates your vigorous defense of his "honor" ... now go get yourself a copy of Cop Out and maybe Smith will awaken from his type 2 diabetes coma and give you the honor of teabagging him b4 he signs it.

[@anishghimire8989]

The seating arrangement is too weird...

[@tommytwo8s]

He outta do another horror/action movie, I enjoyed From Dusk Till Dawn and Planet Terror, somewhat The Faculty...but his done Vampires, Aliens and Zombies....hmmm..

[@LburgVAGuy]

Every RR interview is awesome!These two men made me realize that movies can be more then just Hollywood fodder that is made for the 8 to 14 demographic!I would move to Texas and shine RR's shoes everyday for free just to say I worked with this legend!Sad I know!

[@Frogwai]

Which one? Clerks, Mallrats and Dogma are all perfect.

[@signalenergie]

He most definitely is one of the most gifted "trash" directors in the world. I admire him.

[@Rexnix3000]

Robert Rodriguez knows what the people wanna see next,he comes up with sick kills in his films.

[@Morlok616]

Good interview, two of my cinema heroes! ....And Kevin is drunk AF!

[@AceHalford]

I just watched El Mariachi, shows that budget is not a barrier in film making.

[@loveallthepeople1000]

everyone's coming back for sin city 2......i bet kev can't wait for that set visit so he can catch up with bruce willis.

[@Novaargh]

Damn i didn't know robert was even more awesome than his movies, this little tidbit of an interview is so inspiaring

[@newway1012]

1:45 Lex Luther from Smallville is in the crowd.

[@marioy5914]

thats not him

[@DeepFakeCulture]

It does look like him

[@EroticSmurffXD123]

He's made loads of amazing films

[@HackMyControlSystem]

Not enough ppl mention "Four Rooms".

[@rtleeson]

Haven't started watching yet but this is going to be awesome.

[@dageekundaground]

Ask Robert to take his hat off in the presence of a lady.

[@OpsoclonusMyoclonus]

did anyone notice the jay and silent bob faces on the lions

[@Aprann]

I can't believe he's almost 50...that guys gonna live to be 120!!!

[@grkpektis]

I want to watch desperado again

[@ulijanosabalic6276]

The guy made just 1 movie worth talking about-

[@Vylkeer]

Grindhouse was an extraordinary project, a brilliant duet, if you will. I think I’ve liked Planet Terror even better than Death Proof. What I admire about RR is that he’s a director, producer, screenwriter, editor and composer to his films.

[@VicMourahimself]

Robert is such a nice guy! very inspiring.. Desperado is the best action movie I have ever seen

[@LburgVAGuy]

Sorry...spell check must have been on strike that day!

[@jamespeters6921]

that was awesome two movie gods amen

[@Dylanvillain823]

7:41. Is that James Holmes the theater murderer?

[@XPWHACTL]

Not sure if the likes are for your comment or you uploads :/

[@30mmRebel]

Two people that I look up too.

[@ketcherinthery5079]

Robert Rodriguez is the fuckin man. Cannot wait for Machete Kills, Sin City 2 and Machete Kills Again!

[@thefilmandmusic]

He’s brilliant

[@killertoad]

money

[@vortega472]

Late to this, sorry, I've seen Robert's 10 minute cooking school - so yeah he does do craft services. LOL

[@R2D2JUSTIN]

lets blah blah blah blah blah

[@nowknowthis]

his hordes of fans beg to differ.

[@Redspy27]

FUCK now I REALLY wanna read Kevin Smith's script.

[@Frogwai]

Can't stand hockey jersey era Kevin.

[@zachyoungyuen]

these guys give me chill

[@LburgVAGuy]

I have a feeling he made the Spy Kids movies because it is 300 million dollar franchise...now!Like Rodriguez,some people have kids and kids like that kind of movie!If you made a movie for Fox that made a hundred million dollars...they would want a few sequels and would pay big bucks for them!I loved taking my son to see a RR flick in 3D!

[@jonatanpinadulucmusic]

Is that Comic missconceptions` guy, Scott, from Nerdsync? With a goatee and a pony tail? 8:27

[@LburgVAGuy]

Really?You should rename your KZbin handle MrKnowItAll!I knew it was called Copout!

[@lw1391]

Rodriguez is a great interview!

[@ahyaok100]

they make it seem like anybody could make a good movie. this is not true at all. most of kevin smiths movies suck pretty much and rr's movie are pretty good and its probably because he's super smart. you can tell. ks smart in a more nerdy kind of way which is why a lot of his movies have a nerdy quality but certain aspects i like. just an opinion. but the point is most everybody can't make a good movie. this takes a certain talent like everything else.

[@James-ke8tp]

Clerks was a comedy masterpiece! The rest of Kevin smiths movies are hit and miss. I hear yoga hosers is really bad. But I personally enjoyed tusk, in a so bad it's good kind of way.

[@waterpenny6907]

Wait what???? Is Kevin Smith not a filmmaker no more

[@EroticSmurffXD123]

But Quentin Tarantino is better
