Something about Josh Brolin comes off as very mysterious and masculine and elegant all at the same time, I love it.

Its funny how a big super star like Brolin remains humble about the fact he was very lucky way back when he started, and still feels lucky today after every role a does and the fact he was allowed to be there around those talented people, seems funny now that he is a very recognizable name, but he remains down to earth

Him as Brand in The Goonies is how I came to know him. He’s been a fantastic actor for decades

The 'argument in the truck' scene between him and Jennifer Connelly in 'Only The Brave' is fantastic. One of my favorite scenes he's ever performed in.

I am SO happy that he sees the Goonies as an important part of his career and looks at it fondly. So many people move on to supposedly "bigger" or "better" things in their career and then act like their early projects are beneath them or something. I love that he's wonders if he deserves to be in the room with the big guys. He's so humble. The answer to his question is a resounding "YES".

Brolin is definitely on my list of celebs it would be cool to grab a beer with.

He is so humble and charismatic. One of the best interviews i ever seen

Brolin's performance as Thanos was epic. Thanos is one of my favorite Comic Book Villain's so he exceeded my expectations! I am a fan Josh Brolin!

I could listen to Josh talk all day. He seems to understand the technical aspects of performance, but he relates it so matter-of-factly.

Josh is the most underrated talent in entertainment he blows me away with how he gets so immersed in every character he does. He truly cares about his art.

Brolin did an incredible job playing a younger version of Tommy Lee Jones in MIB 3, he got Jones’ mannerisms down perfectly.

I grew up with this dude... We all have. Great in Sicario, great in Goonies; the best in Avengers Infinity War

Denis: “Let me send you the script.” JB: “No need.” 🗿

Funnily enough, the first thing I saw Brolin in was MIB3, being a fan of the previous 2. Then I saw No Country, then Sicario, and was like, "Wow, he's amazing."

These are classic. Wish he would have talked about Only The Brave. Such a sad but powerful movie.

He is literally in every movie I love. And his dad is hilarious in that one comedy show my parents watch.

I’ve had the pleasure for the last 3 years of sharing a gym with a guy that worked with Brolin on the Sicario movies (some of my favorite ever lol) and he said he’s not just a cool guy he’s probably one of the best MEN that he’s ever met in his life.

Unexpectedly, I was surprised by his humble, grateful and down-to-earth attitude. This is really touching, I like him more now than before 😄

he is so humble and well spoken, the more interviews I watch, the more I admire this actor.

Still remember him playing wild Bill Hickock in The Young Riders. Childhood memories..

The light and joy in his face talking about the Goonies set is so authentic.

I like that episode focused specifically on the actor's most memorable roles and let them go into great detail about them. Cos sometimes it feels like videos of "Here's 90 of the parts I've ever played".

For me it was Eric Marsh in Only the Brave. My dad was a structural firefighter for 40 years and he looked like him in that movie. Same goatee, same glasses, same attitude, everything. That was a hard one to watch, but it was also incredible at the same time.

Was hoping he was going to touch on it. I know he thinks it's silly, and it is, but there's a whole generation of guys who love that movie.

There is no Thanos without Josh.

When I see where the MCU is now it's easy to forget the tension, awe and shock that I felt watching Infinity War and Endgame, and so much of that was down to Josh Brolin's performance. Thanos is formidable, threatening, single-minded, but also with a degree of fragility and gravitas which offsets the character and makes his actions pack so much of a punch

This is the best episode of this serious I've seen so far. Josh Brolin is amazing.

It's amazing that despite playing the most "grounded" character in Goonies, he actually sounds like he was the one tripping the hardest on the set, enjoying the most of it.

I love how he speaks like he is no big deal. He’s probably one of the most talented actor of this generation being in a wide range of movies. Drama, action, coming of age, superhero movies, scifi. Name it and he’s got it.
