Friedkin is possibly the most underrated filmmaker of all-time. He deserves his spot amongst the greatest of greats

[@davidlean1060]

Maybe I'm as crazy as Friedkin, but after several viewings, I think Killer Joe is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen! It may even be my favorite Friedkin movie at this point!

[@PayneToTheMax]

Oh, it's absolutely hilarious. One of my favourite black comedies, truly.

[@damiengates7581]

The chicken bone scene is the best scene ever.

[@killbot_factory]

Sorcerer would like to have a word!

[@scms2528]

Mark dies inside at 4:38, lol. Friedkin never holds back!

[@vanzonhl]

its always a pleasure to listen to what friedkin says.

[@larsliljeblad800]

Great interview. Really enjoy listening to Bill Friedkin, wonderful speaker, always fascinating. Thanks!

[@davidlean1060]

Isn't he? It's not just what he says, it's the remanence of his Chicago accent. It gives everthing he says a sort of 'street wise' sensibility.

[@hightreason7934]

I could've listened to this guy tell stories all day.

[@JohnORourke.]

This should be titled William Friedkin on Hitchcock.

[@LeonWick526]

"Well, because I'm completely crazy." It takes a big man to admit he doesn't play with a full deck.

[@dneiss89]

It was a pleasure to listen to this great guy.

[@vidyatoob]

Agreed. Friedkin's a very captivating speaker, great character. I also like the way he says 'Mr. Hitchcaahk'.

[@user-yz6gz5ux2y]

Intelligent and good talking man

[@milesgordon8]

Fascinating, thank you.

[@roywilson4514]

What a rock star

[@MrCockPirate]

Thanks.

[@Exodus26.13Pi]

Just watched it and it was not like movies today. I didn't turn it off and that's rare these days. Zero anxiety and entertaining.

[@doccatface6868]

Takes a genius to do what he did. He is a powerful mind, as a fellow yid i am repulsed by it, but it is one of the pantheon of perfect films. He's good, hes powerful.

[@mousehead2000]

He knew a detective who was a hit man? Slightly worrying.

[@joeysoG]

Thats Life Baby Boy

[@CelestialWoodway]

He knew a mafia boss who owned the gay bars he filmed Cruising in.

[@savedfaves]

Killer Joe is messed up. Specifically the ended. I wasn't gone on the film. Juno Temple's American accent is very good.

[@damiengates7581]

Uncle Mort!

[@andym28]

I need to find if he is aries. He is so direct.

[@doodooswaggy3825]

It doesn’t matter, because astrology is nonsense.

[@catbreath8361]

This guy is a fool.

[@doodooswaggy3825]

Which one? Because neither are.

[@tamarab.7151]

William Friedkin, killer Joe is the worst movie you made

[@petarrakoc1416]

*best

[@elpulpo800]

I didn't like it very much. The only reason I watched it was because Friedkin directed it. But I was disappointed.

[@petarrakoc1416]

@@elpulpo800 Personally, I loved it. I just loved how raw and fucked up the characters were. But it's definitely not a movie for everybody.

[@doodooswaggy3825]

Someone hasn’t seen “Jade.”

[@roywilson4514]

Name the films you have made then
