Secret Life of Walter Mitty was very underrated. One of my favorite stories when I was younger. I really related to the character, and I think Stiller's reimagining of the story was brilliant, and still captured the essence of the story.

Loved this soundtrack as well. The book was incredible as well if you’re interested in reading novel.
Seriously this is one of the best podcast around. From the variety of guests, to the ever changing filming locations. Every episode brings something new and interesting. Thanks again fellas
If you have not watched Severance, watch it. Incredible show and the second season has a lot of hype behind it

I’d wait until next year to watch it when season 2 comes out. That way you can watch 2 seasons back to back. This whole waiting a year in between seasons makes it easy to lose interest in a show

I definitely agree. I love the camera work
Severance is an amazing show… it really touches on so much of the modern human experience.
I'm obsessed with Severance and I love JJ Redick... didn't know these 2 things would ever intersect. I'm excited. lol
Easily one of the best shows I've ever watched in my life.
Despite being a fan for a couple decades, I don't think I've ever listened to an interview or talk show with Ben Stiller. The most normal he's ever sounded in my experience 😂 genuine and nice dude
I’m so happy they stuck with it and the show became what it was. I just finished it the other day and I love the show.
Ben Stiller is a fascinating case, because he's been all over the map artistically. That said, I don't know if celebrities of that caliber will ever truly understand the payoff between work, economics, and time, at least not like the average working-class person.

@@GenteelCretin Pitt took acting classes and worked odd jobs before he got his start. Clooney sold insurance, womens shoes, and cut tobacco on a farm before he got his first job as an extra on a soap opera. Most of these actors know what it’s like to struggle for a living. Almost none of them grew up rich. Most are the epitome of self-made who made it on their talent.
The man. The legend. Ben Stiller.

Totally love the movie... I discovered it by chance on tv. Didn't pay much attention at first. After like 15 mins i left everything else aside.
Severance is a dope show. Can’t wait for season 2.
It’s the best show I have EVER seen.
I just love the podcast and the different guests on the podcast
Keep up the good work gents. Enjoyed this interview
Just subscribed , jj is straight up no agenda ! Love it
I love this show soo much!!
Everyone I know who’ve watched it love this show.
What a genuinely incredibly interesting dude.
Such a fire show
I have never heard of this show have to check it out.
I love severance, I don't even have an iPhone but I signed up for the trial to watch it
That would be really cool if you tried to get Anthony edwards on the show or Danilo gallanari because gallanari played with early jokic chris paul Carmelo Anthony and now plays with trae young
They should advertise it more. If this podcast didn't talk about it people like me outside USA wouldn't really know. I think Netflix just has it easy coz they're the nameplate/standard. If the other players won't push them they'd just get overshadowed by the giant and shows like severance would just end up wasted 😕 EDIT: FINISHED WATCHING HOT DAMN THAT WAS SOMETHING LOOOL WHEN'S SEASON 2???

Yo JJ! Do remember meeting a starstruck fan at a Florida movie, you came out of Aladdin with your fam lol!!
Off topic for this particular podcast but didn’t know how to find a way to thank you! The way you stood up for Draymond was amazing. As a former college baseball player and coach the comments by the other host made me extremely angry. The only reason I wasn’t stuck with pent up frustration was the way that you went at him with taste but definite emotion. As a lifelong Duke fan it is gratifying to see there is clearly substance behind a player you rooted for on the court and now more so in every day life. The things you said about Draymond as far as what makes him great are characteristics that you also possess which is why I think the two of you share a bond and it’s hard as a fan of athletes to somehow not have similar feelings of both of you in regards to the mentality you played/play with although have different skill sets. The one characteristic you didn’t mention because it didn’t fit the topic was loyalty but it was refreshing to see that displayed.
Somehow I feel that there’s something about Mary is severely underrated!!! Top 5 comedy of all time !! I’ll wait
🔥🔥🔥
Get some mic stands man. Love your stuff!
Heavyweights is his best film
Ben Stiller was the most underrated point guard from the 80's.. That game winner back in the '87 playoffs against the Wizards .. Insane!! 12 points in 3 mins is a record that will never be broken for a pg.. Glad to see him get some props :)
I still love Heavy Weights
Secret life of Walter Mitty was a banger lowkey
“…some CRABAPPLE for dessert now, y’hear? HELL YEAH….! HA…!”
This is as insightful as the basketball intel , as far as depth
Heavyweights is goated
Apple has many quality shows to choose from. I'd pick it over Netflix if I were forced to choose. Foundation (best show for sci-fi lovers) Suspicion Severance See Etc
Oh wow Bens stiller. Off topic but I like it. I only heard good things about Walter Mitty.
How is Ben stiller on old man and the three????
I can just look at Ben Stiller and laugh he’s soo funny man him Will Ferrell Steve carrol they can look normal and I’ll laugh they just funny ppl naturally

I didn't think severance was gonna be good, had so many shows on backlog, I thought I'll give it 1 episode and see, welp finished in a day or 2. Cant believe the main guy, is from step brothers LOL the evil brother, so funny to see him seriously acting. Specially crying at the start. Thought this is his life outside the step brothers house, and he has that job
I would love to watch the show but I just can't buy another subscription.

I got it for Ted Lasso which was fun and we gobbled it up but nothing else was as fun and as engaging. I tried this show and thought It was really strong but it seemed really depressing though too. Also felt there was a bit of a Westworld dangling carrot kind of vibe to the show where they were going to parcel out breadcrumbs as long as they could do it which I'm getting really tired of.
Not relevant to this video, but DAMN, JJ is the f***ing man on First Take. I'm sure there will be a video on this soon, but round of an applause for JJ standing up for Draymond Green. Class act. I hope you gain so much more success than ever.
Appreciate you JJ, saw how you shot down the negative green criticism
