Succession S03 Ep4 | Josh meets with the Roys | "He's a good kid." Pt 1| scene

[@Prousto]

Brody nailed the specificity of this guy - carefully styled-shlumpy Hampton’s billionaire with the fake humility, yet totally on the make.

[@ricardorivera7549]

yk idk if he is fake humble, i think he is a simple guy but is tired of seeing the Roys look down on him as just a pawn in their chessboard when he is actually, in this situation, the king. and he lets them know that. amazing character.

[@andrewgundy3045]

Yeah he was good - like a cool guy but was obviously incredibly smart

[@ty814]

At this point, Josh's 4% stake is worth over 3.2+ billion dollars. With the Gojo boyout with 197 billion USD I think the most benefited one is Josh, cause his stake would be worth 7+ billion dollars. 🔥🔥🔥

What an awesome character. He comes in out of nowhere and lets Logan and Kendall know that he has the power in this situation. Wasn’t expecting that

[@williammccormick2802]

It took me a couple rewatches to really see what was happening here. Josh basically tortures then both until Logan almost dies. It's like Josh is on a whole other level than even Logan. And outta nowhere, like you said. Succession, baby!

@@williammccormick2802 The walk was slick as hell. Testing Logan's health like that

[@williammccormick2802]

@@Fizzydog77 I actually think he was testing Kendall in a way to see how far he'd go with his Dad. And the fact that he'd let his dad die ("Ask your fucking IPhone") to get ahead on business just proves that Josh can't trust Kendall anymore and Logan is over the hill. Makes all the sense in the world for Josh to choose Sandy and Stewy, it's how he got there that is so intriguing.

'I think that you think that I'm some dipshit who had a lucky night at the casino' One of my favorite lines of the show. Perfectly encapsulates how people with old money look down upon 'new' rich people.

Thank you!

[@thrace_bot1012]

I don't think you know what Old Money means lol. It refers to inherited wealth, especially from aristocratic ancestries. Logan was born into a poor family and built his empire from scratch. That isn't "old money".

Great performance from Adrien Brody. The way he slowly peeled a layer of his real true character in only about 15 minutes worth of screen time is pure mastery. Brian Cox is like Marlon Brando, a veteran thespian. Jeremy Strong, an up and comer, like Adam Driver. But Adrien Brody is the Daniel Day Lewis.

[@sivret20]

I would say Jeremy Strong is more Day-Lewis seeing as he studied under him and he names him as his biggest influence and is known to go crazy method acting like Day-Lewis.

[@countlitmogaphil392]

Bro Jeremy Strong's dedication and energy is undeniable he is the true daniel day lewis

[@EvilTim1911]

I feel more like Jeremy Strong is Jeremy Strong, Adrien Brody is Adrien Brody and Brian Cox is Brian Cox, but that's just my 2 cents

[@nilescho2688]

literally one of the best scenes. the whole show maybe up until this point logan has never told the truth and has always been in control. the only time he isn’t is when a shareholder has a gun to his head and basically says if you say the wrong thing i will pull the trigger. sad situations have to be so dire for logan to be decent human being

[@arjundutta5521]

[@WiperTF2]

197 billion!? I don't think the deal was nearly that big. The final offer was $192/share if I remember correctly. The family talked about selling for $10B total at the end of S3, and were just barely big enough to be able to purchase PGM for $9-10B before Logan leveraged up. But maybe the family's share is a small one of the total pie?

[@ty814]

@@WiperTF2 Sorry yes your right the total acquisition was 46 billion usd.

[@ty814]

​​@@WiperTF2FYI Josh's 4% stake is worth 3.5 bill cause he says the 10% of his 4% was 350 mill he just lost. So after that his stake would be worth 3.15 bill

[@mattfields8217]

1:16 common cinematographic trope in this show is that when the truth is actually coming out, the camera stays on that character for a long time (which in succession is anything over a few seconds) and slowly zooms in on them. Same happened when greg was told he's being disinherited.

[@sianspherica]

Brody nailed this character so goddamned well that even in a cast full of outstanding actors he shows in only ONE episode why he's the guy who has won a best actor Oscar and they all are - fine actors that they are - aren't quite at THAT level yet. Like in 10 minutes of screen time he does SO much with this character. It's a dammed shame we didn't see more of him in Succession.

“Eff Sandy and Stewy.” *Meets Stewy at Helipad* I swear corporate finance is not for me

He reminds me of the Pierces - keeping it regionally authentic...via servants. The rich on this show *always* manage to flash their wealth just a bit when the opportunity arises.

[@gen2160]

I really thought that Josh would play a significant role in S4. It was a shame that they introduced this phenomenally complex character played by an Oscar winning legend and nothing further beyond this episode.

[@Gmanbrooklyn]

brody is incredible in this scene

[@jonathanturkmusic]

Fuckin beast of an actor

[@joshuaizly5502]

One of the best cameos/one off character ever. Here we have Logan who's whole narrative for 3 season was that he builded Waystar from the ground by his hard work, his prodigal son who believes he should be the succesor to his tyrannical father's empire because it's his birthright and finally a random shareholder that did no real work, not even on the board, just put some money on the company years ago and watched his money grow exponentially for years. Except Josh completely shifts the frame, he's not some random guy that bought shares and got lucky, he's their boss. Josh scolds the mad tyran, makes him say that he love his son and treat Ken like an angry child that wants an apology. After that he makes them fight each other for his own amusement and finally decides to fire them. He made us realise they were bigger fish out there, way before Mattson showed up.

[@MsAnnieBaker]

Is anyone going to eat any of the food! Josh had a bread roll and that's about it really....

That's why I love the Sopranos. Tony fucking eats!! All the other tv series/movies no one touches the damn food....

They do so many takes it’s tough to be eating that much for cooks and the actors. Like Big Bang theory they fake chew and spit food back into their Chinese takeout boxes.

[@maggiec83]

@@jacobdavies3796 Yeah, it's more practical for the actors. But it also says something about the characters. They've got a beachside feast that probably took hours to prepare and they don't care. They're rich enough that they can just ignore good food because they're not worried about where their next meal is coming.

Josh somehow makes Mattson look sane because Josh tortured Logan who is already too old on a long walk and also mentally breaking down both of father and son. He knows they are not in good condition but he doubled down by making them on this situation.
