I sometimes think Herzog comes across as someone who's almost surprised to still be here and he carries all the wisdom that that brings. He's definitely someone who's lived a thousand lives.

This makes a lot of sense in a weird way...

Werner has bigger balls than nearly every other director/producer in the world, only equaled by a very few other actual auteurs (of which there are maybe 20 in all of the history of cinema...writer/directors who singularly create their own bodies of work). He's a living testament to the power of having total confidence in one's convictions, and of course, he is irreproducible, a singularity, a gift to humanity.

Bravo! From the audacity of his vision, through his pugnacity of conviction, and all the way down to the humility of his compassion, Herzog gets me right in the gut.

Bret and Werner use same reading glasses, fascinating. Eric sits in complete disbelief and wonder ! German 'sensibility' is so disarming and riveting. This is a must watch.

Eric: Correct me if I'm wrong but... Herzog: You're wrong.

I WANT to listen to the whole of his interviews so far. But I just end up listening to Joe Rogan in stead. You do you Eric, and don't stop on my account. But you should know, you're losing me here...

@savnetsinn_original

It definitely looks like introverted intuition at work, if you'll at least admit that sort of typological concept to the discussion. I don't know that Eric was out of his comfort zone, but I think instead he had a few of his own assertions knocked back and realized that he couldn't lean on existing conclusions (ie, "You're the unreliable narrator..." "No no no, I'm the one who makes sense!" 13:56). People like Eric are extremely adept at grasping the abstract, but they just tend to grab it outside of the conversation, when they're on their own and their subconscious has had enough time to fit the pieces together. But they go further by then locating the finished puzzle within a larger picture, and that, I would submit, is the ability from which someone like Eric draws greatest strength.

Wonderful podcast Eric, thanks for introducing me to such a wonderfully interesting filmmaker and I look forward to your continued interviews. Best of luck!

thank you once again, Highly fascinated by these conversations!

Eric, ' Livin' between the Dash' YOU snagged an interview with Werner Herzog! Bravo. (holy moly) Thank you very much!

I agree with Werner Herzog's admonition to travel on foot - that you see the world differently when you travel on foot. I don't do it long distance because of the time it takes, but it is often how I experience cities that I visit around the world, and it is a completely different experience than traveling on a tour bus. But for long distance I suggest traveling by bicycle. I once traveled a bit over a thousand miles on a recumbent, unsupported, and I got a completely different perspective than when I have traveled by car. But traveling on back roads by car is also a valuable experience, and very different from traveling by interstate. Each of these ways of traveling has its own advantages and disadvantages, but certainly they provide different perspectives and insights, and traveling on less traveled roads exposes one to experiences - raw material for thought - that most people never get.

Truly a subject worthy of Eric's interest and attention. I am currently reading 'Werner Herzog. A Guide For the Perplexed' and have seen many of his films. A truly remarkable and brilliant man.

I love how Eric is such a gracious interviewer.. He sits deeply in his chair probes and prods just sets off Cascades of stream of consciousness emerging out of Herzog all of which forms a matrix or a kind of netting he operates in. It's very sound. Explains why he's subjected himself to so much danger with decades of his hazardous filming and yet has never been really injured or hurt. There's something subtlety superhuman about him. Eric has the depth in the respect to respond orthogonally shifting and sieving the sands of Herzog's mind. Two eccentrics.

Despite all the stupid questions of this guy, Herzog is a genius and make the interview masterful

Accomplished artists are often quite difficult to define. I get the feeling Werner is constantly conscious of this fact. He disagrees regardless of the proposition in order to give himself the opportunity to frame it in a surprising way, even if the answer isn't surprising at all. An intellectual sleight of hand. I think spending a lot of time with this man would be exhausting.

So you're basically saying he's pretentious in the event that he eludes you in what is 'often a difficult task,' 'defining people', for which purpose you invent the idea that Werner Herzog is contrary just for effect. As well as saying you say you found the statements of this accomplished artist 'surprising'(?) but dismissable as 'intellectual sleight of hand.' What is your remark if not 'intellectual sleight of hand'? Werner Herzog is not up to your standard although you can't be sure because he has somehow eluded your legendary defining ability. Hollow boasting, isn't it?

He could've just text him by the amount he had his phone out!!

Around 32:00 Herzog claiming that he's very prudent and considerate of others, he lists a litany of people who never got seriously injured: his actors and production people who were very close to him. Is anyone going to mention the deaths and injuries of the local indigenous people who participated in the film? It's quite egregious that he would say essentially "no one got hurt in my 70 movies", completely ignoring all the actual people who got hurt, but who happened to be not his friends or actors, when he's probably the director with whom most people got hurt in movies....

Fascinating guest!

Wow. One of the most important people of our time. How you managed this is beyond me. Many comments are critical, largely because this is their first exposure to Herzog. For those people I’d suggest studying this mans work, from the beginning. Without context, be wary of ascribing an identity or diagnosing pathologies. He’s way ahead of you, and is quite aware of the human as a collection of pathologies. To define him by any of them is already wrong, by default. He has integrated them. Rather than being blindly driven by any of humanities myriad of pathologies, he skillfully uses them each as they serve a purpose or expose a deep truth. It can seem clunky, or obvious here, but that should be a cue to look deeper. Not cast away. A fully integrated human cannot be defined in a KZread comment. And to try is to be wrong by default, or at the least, likely just a reflection of the pathology you see in yourself. I’m very glad to see this man on your podcast. And I’d encourage those who’s first exposure to Herzog is this, to be wary of defining the man at all. There is incredible value in starting from the beginning. You’ll learn a lot.

Beautifully visceral episode. Thank you Mr. Weinstein. Btw I am reading your recent paper currently.v
