Adam Savage Interviews Jason Reitman - The Talking Room
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- Jason Reitman has directed some of our favorite films of the last decade--Juno, Thank You For Smoking, Young Adult, and Up In the Air. Avoiding the allure of big-budget blockbusters, Jason instead tells emotionally-intense stories in smaller films. He visits The Talking Room to discuss the appeal of crafting complex, resonant characters, his approach to selecting projects, and growing up on film sets.

Thanks for watching!
The Talking Room probably have the best interviews in the internet. Adam, we want more!!!!!!
I love interviews, but this show beats them all. Adam, you are FABULOUS at interviewing people. It seems like everyone you've interviewed at some point has said "wow, that's a REALLY great question".
What a wonderful peak into someone's creative process. As a musician, explaining to my band mates the idea of a song being a song, and having its own voice, not necessarily the voice WE want to give it, is one of the hardest parts of the creative process. Mr. Reitman explained that aspect perfectly.
Thanks for doing these interviews. Loved them all so far.
Now I want to hear him interview Adam. Can we get a Reverse Talking Room?
When you just listen to the audio you realize his voice sounds quite similar to Grant Imaharas. Edit: Even the laugh!
+segfaultii I was thinking that he kind of sounded like Adam Scott
+segfaultii Damn, now I can't unhear it.
+segfaultii was about to say the same thing!!
+segfaultii its crazy freeky how similar it is
+segfaultii Just realized, so true!
Love these Talking Room videos.
When are you interviewing Alton Brown!?
This is my favorite part of tested adam. Please keep doing these.
These are great to watch. Keep bringing them on!
Whenever you happen to hang up your Mythbusters boots, Mr. Savage, I'd implore you to consider doing more of these talks. While they might not satisfy the 'maker' in you, they are a gift to us, the listeners. Many thanks for many hours well spent.
Reitman is fantastic. This made me smile so much.
Wow, this was my first Talking Room, and I loved it. I need to go watch all of these movies! I have never seen Up In The Air, but after hearing him describe it as the movie he was born to make, I must watch it! Great Show YALL!
I think Jason's comment around 18:50 is fairly profound: He grew up the child of parents who did "really well", and as a result never had to worry about the money. He didn't live the life of a spoiled do-nothing playboy (some do), he didn't become an asshole (some do that, too). Instead, he used his freedom to make the artistic choices that he wanted to, and in the process made fat stacks himself.
With the solidification of the "gig economy", it seems pretty obvious that things like affordable healthcare you can't lose will only grow in importance, and that having a certain safety net which only allows you to fall so far actually leads to more entrepreneurism and risk-taking. This benefits both individuals and society. Some people have no ambition; that's just a fact. But in my experience, on average, people want to make a difference and create something.
Thank You for Smoking was amazing.
You need to do more Talking Room.
This is very quickly becoming my favorite video series, I'm going to have to go back and watch the backlog. I'll be honest, Thank You for Smoking is the only one of his movies I've ever seen and didn't even know by the name who he was, but again this is an awesome interview. Definitely going to go watch the rest of them now.
Enjoyed that interview. Jason just strikes me as very genuine in his intentions. I rarely see so much revealed about a director's personality and Adam set the perfect stage with a comfortable, "living room conversation" feel. I'm a lot more interested in Jason's films for it.
-Thank you tested
I totally agree, 'Up in the Air' is an absolute masterpiece. And the fact that he can see that, and understand what it is, is awesome. Great interview.
This is an amazing interview. It is an even better interview with context. Thanks guys!
Thank you for smoking was literally shown in two different college classes. One a survey of communication strategies, the other a class on persuasion. HAHA.
Such a great interview from both sides...just awesome.
I wish these were longer. I love them!
Really liking these. Although it normally takes me around 3 days to watch each one as i go off on tangents about each topic :)
Adam makes interviews so great!! I wish he had a nightly show.
Many people are good in speaking, Adam is amazing in listening and asking questions, with just enough of himself and his storie to add to flavour the interview. Mythbusters should never end for many reasons, but if it ever does, the TV/radio channels should do a deatmatch who gets Adam.
Jason, if you ever read this, Thanks for doing this really like your movies!!! Second thanks Adam for everything you do for Tested and helping the STEM community!!!!!
Jason Reitman's Commando.
Fund it Hollywood!
The pie scene from "Labor Day" is one of most beautiful scenes I've ever seen.
this was truly great. a lot of insight in this video. thanks guys
.Great interview, i think that Jason was surprised on how good Adam took the direction topics
I love every one of his films.
Totally wish "The Talking Room" was a weekly show.. heck even bi-weekly would be nice.. more please!
The lighting seems harsher in this episode or is it just me?
@tested , are these available as podcasts too? Enjoyed every one of these. Adam needs to do more of them. :)
This was a great interview.
A few great science books I notice are Richard Dawkins' _Oxford Book of Modern Science Writing_, Brian Green's _The Elegant Universe_, James Gleick's _Chaos_, and Michael Shermer's _The Science of Good and Evil_. Nice.
This is a little off with relation to the video :) but.. You have a familiar maker OCD compulsion of list making :D I was wondering if you have a catalogue of the books on your shelves ? :D I find myself rewatching the videos to try and pick out titles :)
huh...this is the first talking room I have watched because I didn't think they would be that interesting, given the fact I don't remember actor or director names, but it was very enjoyable.
Tarantino, and Rodriquez were pretty rock, and roll, but Sam Peckinpah was pretty badass a few decades before. Iron cross is one of the best war movies ever, shows the soldiers of the Werchmant as Human and shows how Officers can be terrible terrible people. Then there is The Wild Bunch which has inspired so many different things. Red dead redemption basically takes the story of the wild bunch, there is scenario for Cowboy action shooting based on it. Countless other movies have taken inspiration from it. Then there is just The Getaway with Steve McQueen and Ali Macgraw which is just a good watch. Then straw dogs, and Bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia which are both excellent movies. He's also made a few other westerns that are worth a watch, and a few others that are meh, but he really brought some really crazy concepts to film.
Very interesting. I absolutely love Up in the Air
I thoroughly enjoyed Juno and Thank You For Smoking, excellent director!
Any chance we could get the audio version put up on the podcast?
I would have titled this - Jason Reitman, Hearing Voices. ;-)
a detect a small chip. I bet he thought it would be another interview comparing him to his dad. but adam is just soooo good at putting people at ease.
This was filmed almost 3 months ago? How dare you! :)
The talking room. And great video so far. :)
RUclips needs to allow multiple likes of a single video.
Soo, during this was there a topless Hyneman walking around some where?
I'm not really sure why this is not an audio podcast as well. I think a lot more people would listen than watch.
+John Edmondson Just convert it?
When is Guillermo del Toro going to visit the Talkin Room?
That would be awesome!
So true about that moment in Up in the Air, 'at Vera's doorstep' -- oof.
What happened to this?? Where is Winston?
fantastic!
I thought it's Keanu Reeve looking at the thumbnail
Fantastic
I just did an interview with KFaceTV (Dark Lord Funk) and Dark Pixel yesterday on my channel.
They need to get Quentin Tarantino on this show.
As if there were any question Ivan Reitman's son could get into USC Film School. lol
I *like* 1-2-3. :(
Adam Savage... Open your book S and read it.
Sorry Jason, but Up in the Air it is not that great.
Adam Savage is a great interviewer. His first question was eloquent and direct. Reitman opened up like a gaping anus.

Jason makes me cringe.
Adam makes interviews so great!! I wish he had a nightly show.
