Cheeto's interview skills just keep getting better and better. His ability to change on the fly his questions or tone to make the guest feel as comfortable as possible is super impressive.

[@ligairi]

Really? I say this with all the love in my heart for a top tier comedian but that was brutal. I felt so bad for him the whole time.

[@SBb374]

Immediately after seeing Out of Sight on a date, I lost my virginity. Thank you, Mr. Soderbergh, I salute you, sir.

[@NickPR87]

Bobby has recently hosted some of his bucket list people on Tigerbelly, but Santino has really brought in some heavy hitters! Goddamn, Red Rocket! 🚀

[@No5elfCTRL]

Steven helped make Bobby's favorite movie Magic Mike! He loves it

[@InvisibleMag]

randomly yesterday was thinking about Haywire and how underrated it is and how Soderberghs work needs to be promoted more, and then boom here he is :)

[@Queefy]

What timing. For the past year I’ve been watching all his films. Traffic was awesome. ❤

[@ceha9517]

panic has never solved anything in the history of the world! thank you Mr. Soderbergh

[@datdamadude]

I hope im not the only one that enjoyed this episode. I loved that there werent too many jokes or trying to make it a usual whiskey ginger ep., i enjoyed hearing a master of his craft speak about stuff you dont hear from regular interviews. Please pepper these kinds of episodes in the algo-rithm ❤

[@ericksierraaa]

Yesssss

[@abmelvic5066]

Totally agree

[@ligairi]

Idk. He’d have had a much better chance at getting cast if he’d been his normal, jokey self. Listen to how Soderbergh talks about Timothy Olifont. Instead, Andrew just spout bs rambling fluff for most of the interview.

[@datdamadude]

@@ligairi nobody was talking about getting andrew casted

[@ericcraw]

Awesome guest appearance by Steven - what a treat! Going to excerpt a few quotes from this and share w/ my team at work - lots of great parallels. Appreciate you both! AS - get that role in Soderbergh's next project! ✌️Eric

[@fukuuu]

Same here!

[@raggedlionpress2024]

One of the best thank you Andrew, great interview

[@michaelt8680]

"Traffic" and "Ocean's 11" are my all time favs.

[@leob4403]

Why have everyone forgotten Traffic? It got 4 academy awards, but nobody ever talks about it

[@undertheumbels]

So nice to see Soderbergh! Schizopolis is one of my favorite movies and he rarely pops up on podcasts. I'm interested in this brandy and very interested in the mysterious collages that no one speaks about.

[@RedPancake1993]

Jesus you pulled this LEGEND? Huge! I’d like to propose another director guest: Guy Ritchie. Sound off in the comments if you’d want to see that too.

[@bkh.8853]

Absolute legend! His filmography is insane.

[@ARKHAMxMaverick]

I'm scared that Andrew might be turning into a professional podcaster now.

I feel it too he's too clean, main stream now. He Don't hit the same as before. Bobby after all these years makes me die. Oh oh 🌭

[@ru4realzzz]

oh chill, he's just trying to get cast in a soderbergh movie.

[@sammathey1995]

@@micknightmare3why can’t he have whoever he wants in and behave however he wants? He’s way more versatile than most guys/girls

What a fantastic podcast. I had to come and watch this one!

Wow....was not expecting to see a fellow dork of the cinema here. It's a wonderful thing. And I agree

[@sammathey1995]

Just watched Tracfic for the first time a few weeks ago, excellent film. Have always been obsessed with the Ocean’s. And Logan Lucky. Great ep Tino!

[@jeffboud5422]

Santino is such a master of his craft. There’s a reason why I listen to WG even when there isn’t a Comedian or actor on. He’s a great interviewer.

[@matthewsssftf]

saw you at whiskey bar in the valley. couldnt believe it was you. you realised I recognized you and you gave me a nod. made my night.

[@grantpowell4135]

Is there anyone this Cheeto cant have a conversation with i mean come on with this guy. Love it

[@RBN406]

I know he only worked as a producer on it, but Godless is one of the best TV series I have ever seen

[@BPH55]

Totally agree. All the actors were phenomenal.

So Singani is a clear brandy like Pisco and both are processed the same but Singani is like the champagne of Pisco in that it's grapes are only permitted from 1 specific region. Pisco can use several different grapes. TMYK

[@patmanpow1173]

People complaining about Steven's voice have missed out on a wonderful podcast. He is an absolute genius filmmaker, and a fascinating interview. As we get older, yes our bodies break down, things change. Get over it you absolute dorks.

[@JLiberio]

I think he was off axis to the mic and they needed to lower the gate threshold. Sounds like it was cutting off the feed if he got too quiet.

[@kerilibearian9010]

I know Andrew didn’t read these but he needs to get these cool Whiskey Grail vessels (cups) for his whiskey! Saw a video on it and it out brings out all the notes!! Someone tell him!!

[@matthewking2011]

This was surprising to see pop up, but does make a lot of sense. Soderbergh loves comedy, and often casts comedians in roles. Tom Papa has been in multiple of his projects and Stavros was just in his newest series Command Z

[@i.c.2972]

What a guest! Amazing episode holy shit.

[@michaeledward2518]

who do you have to blow to get someone like steven soderbergh on your podcast plus he started talking better as the show went on .......... love from hamilton ontario canada

[@jamiecook3477]

Wow, what a great guest, an and out of the box thinker his movies are amazing. I can't wait to listen to this.

[@ULTRAVISTA.]

I never even realized how many movies i knew by Steven. I cannot wait to watch all of his other movies! Down the rabbit hole

[@philippvidovic145]

Honestly audio sounds a bit like a father and son conversation on the deathbed, remiscing and trying to act normal :D Love those two though ❤

[@BobMcRoberts1991]

what a get for santino. Love Soderbergh. My favorite work of his is The Knick.

[@williambartholmey5946]

Seriously, every single episode is riveting. The minimalist score is perfect and plays up the tension. To me it's up there with The Sopranos and Breaking Bad and whatever else people consider the greatest series ever. Just a shame it's only two seasons.

[@BobMcRoberts1991]

@@williambartholmey5946 agree with everything you are saying. It's my favorite of all time honestly above sopranos and breaking bad. It is a shame that it lasted only 2 seasons. I believe they're coming back for a third season or a reboot with soderbergh and andre holland who played dr.edwards.

[@BobMcRoberts1991]

spinoff not reboot

[@williambartholmey5946]

@@BobMcRoberts1991 I'm sure it will still be good, but I'd be a little disappointed with no Clive Owen.

[@haley2926]

Omg cool! I was just watching his new show with Gaffigan.

[@itzdadam8463]

Andrew is so happy, intrigued and content during this. Definitely makes you appreciate it more.

[@MyhorseInthegravy]

Didn’t know Soderbergh could be so damned cerebral. 👍🏽 Fascinating man.

[@charliedovlander1269]

Cerebral palsy more like. Whats happened to his voice?

Yeah, right? I was wondering about the same, what happened to him? Something for sho, because he talks weirdly slow…

Che is one of the best films ever made. Regardless of politics, that movie, both parts, is insane.

Me too i loved Che.

[@WeekendUpdate7]

Got soderbergh on the pod lmao? Santino really has the connections.

[@dalton_dye]

Hell yeah dude. Soderbergh rules!

[@TheKaleighWelch]

So interesting!! Love the broad depth of andrews guests. All you people insulting him, I’m thinking maybe Parkinsons or something so quit being an ass. This is still a genius

[@jodiblunt1710]

@TheKaleighWelch I appreciate your comment. My thoughts EXACTLY! I am elated he's on here, this is in my top five of all pods ever. I have PD and I think he's fine as it does let up. Either way his voice has nothing to do with what he is saying. A brilliant man and a Golden interview thanks to both👏

Why is Howie Mandel so sad ? J.k , just a little roast. I dig ur movies and ur a good interview

[@stephaniehalloran4447]

AWESOME!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@robertallenburton7455]

What a great guest and intriguing conversation. I am very much looking forward to Soderberg's upcoming films. We're lucky to have a director who is passionate about filmmaking, storyline, and the big picture of society as whole working in the entertainment business. And how bout our Ginger! Does he get great guests or what?! When he first cracked me up on YMH in 2020 I couldn't have foreseen him having these deep and insightful conversations. Thanks!

was that set up even quicker that normal? Andrew little star struck...

Whoever's ass he can kiss to get into a movie better than the B list stuff he's been doing.

And he’s missing his mouth. Ha

[@adamdrakestudio]

I think it was a compliment / almost showing off. Or starstruck. Could be. But yeah noticed the speedier than the usual already speedy delivery.

[@kylefabyan8567]

Welll...I think we have to thank the strike for this episode. I hope it doesn't last to long for the sake of the PA's, grips, and all the other hard working behind the scenes crew that make our stars look so good. Let's do our part to keep America working. Thanks!

Really wish they would've talked about Full Circle but

[@jtx6104]

Could tell Santino was nervous at first. Probably respects the hell out of him and knew at some point he wants to shoot his shot to get in a movie. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. Right after you can tell he calms down and the talk starts flowing smoothly.

[@augusthall8516]

AWESOME!! One of our greatest directors.
