Introduction this is your icon era obviously an icon playing icons Zeus the wizard that's right I'm no icon but yes Zeus and uh you know I thought it was Dr Zeus I came the first day with a Cat in the Hat I'd done my research they said Jeff cut why are you rhyming everything in that Whimsical way I said I'm ahead of you I I went further they said no no it's Zeus it's not Dr Zeus you idiot prepare your ears humans happy sad confused begins now I'm Josh harowitz and today on happy sad confused he's a happy sad confused regular very appropriately he is kind of chaos personified and he's promoting a show called chaos the one and only Jeff goam is back where he belongs unhappy sad confused thank Josh Hart thank you so much I'm so happy to be with you hey what's your did we ever talk about what's your what what's your middle name don't tell me do you have a middle name I do have a middle name don't don't tell me what it is have we talked about it I don't think so tell me the first initial of your middle name just your you're still in talk show host mode uh a it's a wait just a second I didn't do is it Aaron oh no is it Andy is it w we're going to spend the entire time on this it's a very basic one basic oh Allen aous that basic name Alvin no Alex it's Alex of course that's the only disappointment of this whole podcast is going to be that moment just now cuz I believed in your magic and you it just dissipated I have no magic no no no nor did it dissipate and I never had it and I like to play a guessing game of any kind or any games uh with you you bring it out of it uh it's good to see you my friend I always enjoy our chats I'm not responsible for the next 40 minutes it's going to be chaos in the best possible way as you said you you you tried to give me a good softball and I I I whiffed I whiffed I went tangential no now you don't get to plug it no you missed it okay no that was the window I didn't jum through but chaos yes and I am a man of of chaos not necessarily chaotic one thing or another but um I embrace chaos because that's the creative portal possibly yes yes yeah and Ian Malcolm was a chaotician are you trying is that is that a version of Me no no I'm just trying to like gauge what's gonna happen Okay he was a chaotician of course I'm going to lower the volume because I don't want to I want to hear your delicious tones better oh thank you so much wow look at this he's like you must have read the Jerry Lewis uh book uh complete filmmaker I haven't the man who invented playback though you're that's correct uh on what film did Mr Lewis is it the one that we've never seen the the the the today the clown cried no if I'm correct on this who Cinderella Nutty Professor I can keep going no I believe it was ladies man it was ladies man I think um and you know I was going to I was going to um uh um play that part in the last movie that he did called I know I know I know the it's and Kevin poic was in it that's the part I was going to play his son called Max Rose yes and I was going to play it for a second before I got otherwise occupied couldn't do with something else and so I went to Las Vegas and had a bonding delightful time with Jerry he was delightful because the rep was that he could be a little well prickly well you you know I mean I I mean delightful I say for me because when I grew up he was a centerpiece of you know all those years of the was it Paramount where he had Cinder fella and those I would see the first run of those with my sister at the Leona theater and you know he was just so you know fantastic you know at the fountain blue Hotel the bell boy that he was great but then you know everybody gets a little older and d d d and you saw that last interview that he gave that went made the rounds you know a lot where you know they asking so is it very different doing a movies and T no you know he was he was unhappy you will never be like that though you get more charming and sweet with each passing year you're talking about you you when you point the finger three point back at you you know that that's that's always true so chaos so yes so KAOS chaos we embrace the the chaos for Creative purposes and malam was a chaotician and now chaos spelled k a oos is the name of the show August AUST 29th I'm just not a dutiful Soldier because I'm here to plug it but I like this show have you seen any I've seen the first few episodes you did it's a big swing I like big swing shows and this is I like what you're saying big swing in what way well it's a big concept it's a big one to to wrap your brain around I'm sure from an acting perspective and for an audience at first but it to to its credit it drew me in uh an amazing cast what' you say R what it drew me in it drew me in you drew me in it drew you in I thought am I you want to closer I'm always interested in learning new words I thought you said it's droian druman druman what is something when it's droian yes is that like the Drew yeah but it it drew you in oh good and three episodes so you must I encourage you to see if you like those you know yourself better than I do uh see the other five it's only uh eight that come and get dropped on August 29th but yes it is a it is a it's it's it's wild it's a big idea a Charlie cell um is the Creator and I believe it's a brilliant eight scripts you know or whole movie eight hour movie whatever you call it that um was written and very moving and powerful and um hilarious with a good part for me and everybody and this Stellar group of cream of the crap uh actorly actors um and that's it I can tell you much more of that but oh when you see the next five you'll see yeah it's a it's something you you can tell them but it's the Greek myths uh in a modern day setting I wear tracksuits and but it's it's a there are different twists on the backstory and how we wound up and you know getting to be these characters that the that the scholars will recognize oh yeah that's kind of a beginning point of the story we know and that I studied all my life but even if you don't know any of it it's entertaining as we say but um but yeah we tried to with these actors and the way we did we tried to n make it naturalistic and full these crazy things I'm married for to my sister for the low these 2,000 years and how do you really how do you really act that truthfully you know Etc te that helps that that what a Powerhouse she is she's just fantastic and David thulas David thus yeah and and Steven delay and just it goes on and on but um and then just brief before we go on listen to this here's the show and I'll tell you the the the the in a nutshell the rest of the show me I'm a maybe Divine maybe not so Divine you'll find out more about my how I got to be Zeus head honcho big big cheese but I I abuse power I'm an abuser of power I'm very complicated possibly charismatic uh but cruel and paranoid and insane and unhinged at this point and there's a diverse group of earthlings that are truth Seekers and loving and get together and unite to possibly unseat this Pretender to the throne they're full of energy and excitement and maybe they can turn the page let's see that's that's the show how's that yeah do you feel I feel something I feel the audience being tantalized wanting to know more yes yes well there's much more than that that's just the of the I we're not going to act out the rest for them no no no it's very rich there's lots of characters but that's kind of basically the the story you follow in a great line of actors who have played the icon that is Zeus I mean I will confess my knowledge of Zeus and the Greek gods came mostly from watching Clash of the Titans as a youth lawence Olivier Lawrence Olivia and then then the next one and the next iteration was Liam n so this is good Russell Crow recently in the Thor movie Thor and love and thunder played Zeus exactly right I was there myself in a scene with the great Mr Crow yes now before that I I know where you're going to go I know I know I know sure I know you know you know me too well but you know by the way Charlie was obsessed as a TT uh as a toddler with Clash of the Titans you know so made a lifelong you know Obsession of the Greek myths and and came came to this but me oh yeah I go a little further back to Jason the Argonauts yeah because have we talked about this before maybe we have I think Harry Howen has come up before yeah Harry Howen I like that and so there was as I remember it I haven't seen it regionally but remember there's Jason but I think he's being puppeteered by all the by the the the people and Zeus mainly in the uh in in Mount Olympus that's why I liked my my Clash of the Titans of my youth had that element too it had the Harry housing in there it wasle oh oh yours did yes which is what the Olivier the Olivier Harry Hamlin the whole it's a little cheesy but as a kid blew me away as I'm sure Jason and the argonut did for you I should show yeah I loved it I should show kids well I tried to show them a little bit Jason of the Argonauts hey um oh well in Clash of the Titans don't they say in both of those something some reference to and I think in one of them release the Kraken yes well here's the SP I don't think I'm giving anything away when I say in the whole Eight Episodes don't wait for it I never say release the Kraken well season two maybe so okay I hope this is your icon era obviously an icon playing icons WICKED Zeus the wizard that's right I'm no icon but yes Zeus and uh you know I thought it was Dr Zeus I came the first day with a Cat in the Hat I'd done my research they said Jeff cut why are you rhyming everything in that Whimsical way I said I'm ahead of you I I I went further they said no no it's Zeus that's not Dr Zeus you idiot right or Dr Zas from um Planet of the Apes it could have gone that way could have gone how how's the where' that song Come about sing a little bit of that rock me Dr I will not be but rock me and they did a they did a parody of that on The Simpsons didn't they yes it was very funny okay so wait a minute so and then and that's wi you were getting to and yes also that's an iconic character and I get to dabble in that a bit with the great Ariana Grande and Cynthia REO directed by John mchu you know who I just met the other day for the very first time don't tell me give me the first initial Jay Jay J it's a JB JB wait a minute John B Jonathan Bailey Jonathan Bailey yes who's making the rounds I saw him hey isn't he a charmer oh that is a love love bug yeah I love that guy we had a good time he's fun to be around Jonathan Bailey and and everybody falls in love with him instantly uh and wait till you see him as Fiero in Wicked so um what was your knowledge base of Ariana Grande prior to Wicked what was your favorite Ariana Grande song I like there Benny and I'm oh I can't tell you know we we sang songs and we made some music I can't tell you anything about that don't ask me wait what does that mean what does that me what just happened you just said it why would you say me nothing I won't tell you are you on her next album is that what you're trying to say I will not tell you you can torture me I will torture you you will not hey no but my knowledge of her oh she showed me you going to puberty what just happened I don't know oh sometimes I bark hey you know like Billy I I bilish yes she sometimes has a a thing she's delightful I adore her and I met her recently and she reminded me that I'd met her before but easily startled I know you're um you've got to take some of that nerve medicine that I'm going to give you that Mo Howard had on that one show that's why they took him to the cabin and then that bear had to come in we're doing Three Stooges what are we doing yeah go Howard calling Dr Howard Dr Howard Dr fine and we saw them I I probably told you we saw them live in Pittsburgh at the Holiday House I loved them but they made my sister cry bam anyway so Ariana Grande in the same way that I just mentioned somebody else met me when she was a kid she showed me a picture halfway through the shooting of the two of us taken by her mother backstage at the pillow man right when she was I don't know 11 or 12 and she came back we have a picture of ourselves but I didn't remember that till halfway through the shooting but before then I had looked up many of her songs you know what song I like I think she covers it it's that Mariah Carey song you know all I want for Christmas is it I played it over and over again it just I cried it made me crazy she's just great great great and Cynthia rivo oh my God holy cats but I should have been intimidated by them as I like to say but it's true but I well I don't know why I sang songs for you know every between each take and they sang with me it was just great how about that Ad--BetterHelp this show is sponsored by better help what's something you'd love to learn yes as an adult because as an adult

which is do you ever get intimidated I feel like you are the nerves/confidence person that is most comfortable in their own skin perhaps on the planet Earth this is something I envy in you um I'm not but you're you're you're not what envious of me or you are comfortable in your own skin I'm not I'm I'm a bunch of nerves I'm anxiety just pouring out of me you should know this by now I too too that's perfectly includable that's why you're comfortable you accept everything about you you know you know somebody said the way to get over nerves is Shake more if you're sh if you get a little shaky shake more don't try and deny just go It Go With It Go Go With It yes so what so what what when do you feel anxiety in a professional capacity do you like the night before the first day of a shoot have nerves do you have impostor syndrome at this point I can't imagine you would I I less so you know Sandy Meisner said takes 20 years to call yourself an actor so at first I took that to heart in a good way but it also kind of haunted me feeling in the first because I was lucky I got started to get jobs as I've bored you with before right away luckily not too big at first but I always felt like you know I I think what you're talking about imposture syndrome I felt like geez they don't know I'm really not an actor yet I'm kind of still learning so that sort of haunted me a little bit but I by and by I kind of felt like you know you know I mean I know it's maybe glamorous and the the right thing to say the correct thing say oh no I'm never when if you're ever comfortable and that's true I know I I know that's true but I'd be lying if I didn't say that over the decades I I do have less horror right at it and you know feel like hey I kind of you know if I don't know what I'm doing now I you know I I you know forget it you know I mean I'm just going to enjoy this somehow so I do have a better time now in that way um but having said that like Jerry Seinfeld and Larry David discussed on that one episode maybe you know they go hey having said that I let phrase why do people say that anyway having said that um oh I still have a let's not call it anxiety we could call it it's anxiety adjacent but it's an alertness and uh let's even call it a professional uh obligation feeling and responsibility that kind of comes up so that I do my work I don't show up you know kind of ah whatever this is you know uh before I saw you today I said is there anything I need to study do I need to look him up or anything that will help me I did it on the interviews uh a couple of people today and it really did help me I went what's my due diligence what would that entail in this situation let's see G G and as a matter of fact I've gotten from the publicist I have an itinerary which said well then you're going to go and you're going to talk to so and so if they gave me any test questions I would once a day like in the morning I would go because I'm often fresh and in that half dream state I go and I go huh they want to know is there a place that's an ordinary place but for now now I have for whatever happened there I've got an extraordinary association with it huh how would that be oh and then on the second or third morning I go oh wait a minute right I have an idea and then I get that idea you know I I do a little work you are you do and I will say for this is from personal experience I remember we were talking before we started about the sketch you did way back when I always think back to the fact that you were off book which very few people ever did coming to one of those sketches then I think about the event we did just a year or two ago I asked you for a homework assignment of like a few movies that and I had a I probably took had to took out the paper yep no I I come with something up my sleeve and then like that approach suggests what you hope for with that approach is that if you're prepared in the right way and prepared enough something happens where you can throw it all away feel a little bit hold your head up feel a little bit free and surprising things will happen that that's the idea and more and more that happens hey on this last week where I did that four consecutive nights of guest hosting for um Jimmy Kimel that was a you know that could be a daunting and harrowing and it was I think it felt like a harrowing task because you know you don't want it to go wrong you don't want to you don't want to be bad at least I don't want to not be able to hold my head up and say hey I think I did okay uh especially for want of preparation right so I did what I could and even that day it's a 24-hour cycle where you wake up that morning and then you start working and you know I spent the day as I got as much sleep as I could tried and and fed myself correctly and and and got myself into the right condition and studied I saw everybody's movies that I was going to talk to you're doing better than 90% of the talk show hosts already that's what they told me that's what they told and then looked up some more and had some more ideas and wrote down some things and then worked with the writer so did all that and then still at the 11th hour before the hour before you go you're like and there's still more to do come on and then it's still SE of your pants but then because of all maybe because of all that they turned on the juice and the audience was there and I kind of went yay and I kind of had a good genuinely good time I I relate to everything you're saying you you you'll notice I have like pages of freaking notes I prepared for you and primarily because it's you too you are very easy to riff with but like you over prepare and then you have that all yeah there and then you just know you do it more than I do so that's what I did I had cards and then I put them on the desk and I referred to them a couple times but most mostly I digested them half knew them and and then just went let's go and kind of just talked would you ever you were great by the way hosting Jimmy Kimel you're so sweet thank you would you ever Academy Awards consider hosting the Academy Awards Jeff Goldblum that's so funny ah you know you know I it's kind of a no- win scenario for a lot of us that's the conventional wisdom I believe and I talk to cuz I'm as if I was doing Larry Sanders or or creating the show like um Paul W hacks they're going to do this next year about a talk show and you know I really am interested in that mil is that the correct word in that world uh you know I played Ernie Kovac early on and so that world and how it's developed and evolved is really interesting to me and especially now having been a guest on these things and having to kind of figure out how to how to proceed so I was interested and so I got involved in conversations with the writers about how they how things go the feelings that I might have had and the approach that I was taking and uh talk to somebody very interesting um eron Irwin who's who's the top-notch Hub and Cornerstone of their operations there and Jimmy's right hand person and so capable and impressive told me about the last few years of his U Oscar experience anyway we talked a lot about that so I have a little bit of a feeling about it yeah I think you're right the the the the the you know you know the thankless if David Letterman Can't Get Out Alive if they roast him for 30 years for then who can possibly yeah yeah and then we talked about awards show that show and the awards shows in general you we we you and I could talk for hours about that stuff uh Happy 50 years of being on screen Jeff goldbloom 50 years on film 1974 Death Wish can you can you believe it I mean we're talking about playing these icons and this is uh you know I mean that's a marker that's a that's a that's a crazy thing to think of I guess so what do you what do you give if you're married 50 years what do you give your wife what uh that's a great question I'm far off from that so I don't know yeah uh I don't know but but I'll be looking in the mail for your your um yeah you'll have something presentation I guess my question is do you do you believe in I mean you know some people like to think of art as as something that kind of makes you immortal in a way look I mean it's it's foolish to think that film and TV will Outlast Us by thousands of years God knows where the planet will be then but there is something beautiful about the fact that we're going to leave behind whatever that is the hell we've done for future Generations do you think about that well not much um no no I mean even now you know even now I mean looking back on some stuff I've tried to get better and maybe because I might be some of the earlier stuff I go let's not watch that or you can watch it by yourself or you know there's that so so leaving It For My Future Self hasn't been exactly successful I don't know if I wouldn't discard a lot lot of it myself but um I mean I'm grateful it's been miraculous and lucky but no I mean off the top of my head no I take the you know I like to read Yuval hari's book and to tune into some of these now more available physicists and think about the beginning of the cosmos and the future uh you know what's going to happen and the time scale and the calendar and in that Vein from that perspective we're BP well you know and to and even the wise people say hey in a hundred year in a 100 Year all our photographs and all not no one will remember you no one and every evidence of you will be gone like the S of I like you know I mean Robert Alman and his wisdom transcendental uh Paradigm enlarged wisdom called his production company sand castle Productions because the metaphor being that look we're here right now the art piece is really us being together enjoying this right uh however infinitely we can be doing that because soon enough the as if we're all building a sand castle with this movie the water is going to come the tide is going to come in and it's going to wash all that away and we get to do it tomorrow freshly that that's that's how fleetingly we're here I refuse to believe that Generations from now Transylvania 65000 will not be watched and studied but but here's my confession to you Jee yes confess way in all our years of talking I was a young man watching that movie I and my older brother we walked out of Transylvania 65,000 and it didn't work for us as a as a I'm so sorry I apologize that's like the only one of the Jeff go U that and I maybe it's a re-evaluation I need to give it you tell me not necessarily if you I have my wallet right here if you want a refund of your I don't know how much you spent on that ticket but you did stay for half of it so if it was a $5 ticket I owe you 250 it was an Ed Begley Jr problem more than a you problem problem no don't say that Ed Begley makes anything watchable over and over and over and over again he's a great friend and one of the great what a life my go Homo sapiens on Earth yeah now or ever well um oh yeah what can I say about that oh yes yes well who knows that you know what's being you know beamed yeah could be worshiped on another planet yes yes I'm sure John biner may now be a a cult figure of divine fixation I think oh this um brings to mind I remember there was an interview like Tom Hanks gave like a work to be proud of year or two ago where he basically said there were like four or five movies in his filmography that he actually is proud of how self-critical are you when you look back at the work how many movies would you say I point to that and I I'm legitimately very proud of that work well very proud you know uh even very proud well yeah I you know I mean I'm grateful and and pinching myself uh in half disbelief that I ever got to do any of it and now having done it for low these as you say 50 years and continually that's just spectacular but when I look back on yeah no I know what he means because and like I say oh Jeff this and that uh you could have done better here could have done better there um and it's unusual you know it's unusual to not only be good but these days I have a theory that you can't be good unless you're um with a good director unless you're really in a good movie and good movies for our taste I'll bet is few and far between those are rare but i' I've been lucky I've been you know I mean Nashville speaking of Robert Alman I do hardly anything in it but you know being in that movie that's that's that's okay and there are a couple other movies like that Wes Anderson you know movies and uh you know Steven Spielberg that dinosaur movie people like it and you know Jurassic Park and they you know that that got and he's a special you know that was a special kind of Storytelling and you know there's some others Philip Kaufman is a wonderful director wonderful person and Invasion of the Body SES but I tell you I'm trying to get better and I think I might like my more recent things better in fact sometimes when I present myself as myself I I you know early on I might have fallen into a frightened actor kind of um hey this is what's this publicity stuff kind of thing where you kind of you know but really my jazz gigs you know have made me feel like hey this is kind of a good use of myself and and I'm enjoying this no end and and look at me yak and it's you know if if I were to write this all down give myself a part with all these lines you know and then expect to do them well it wouldn't turn out this good so I like improvising and kind of do you know doing this kind of thing so I'll bet there's a lot of recent stuff in this vein that I might when all is said and done go you know that's kind of cute and this and that you [Music] know what are the biggest disconnects between expectation and and result in your film career for good or for bad a film that you thought the experience of making it was going to turn out to resonate with an audience and critics and didn't for whatever reason and vice versa like have there been projects where you weren't feeling it on set and then just clicked within audience in a profound way yeah that's a that's a good question well I know that's a good question for most people because because they might have interesting answers to that myself I there I I can't off the top of my head and maybe I've been asked this before um no there there's nothing like the Independence Day thing did that shock you at the time Jurassic couldn't have because it's Spielberg and oh well no those the popular movies yes like independence day and the first one and and uh that first Jurassic Park oh no no it wasn't so shocking it wasn't like hey I had a bad time and she what who's who knows what this is going to be oh no dinosaurs and that book had been popular and Steven Spielberg you know and so you think but it nobody would have predicted and was still surprising and delightful that you know it turned out to be has nerve tickling you know that was so widely right uh and has stayed you know stay stay of Interest similarly Independence Day you know that could have gone couple of different hundred different ways but that kind of rang the bell for several people for a bunch of people and and then the fly you know I think was a horror movie I'll bet some people had turned that down before I don't know for specifically but you know although David Cronenberg you know um but I guess it's maybe more even on the flip side of the smaller films that must have felt special I mean even something like Adam resurrected with Paul shider which like you know you know the audience is only going to be so large for a film of that type right but I don't know those must I mean you you pour your heart and soul especially into those projects I would imagine and then to see varying degrees of success must I mean that that's a a pill to swallow but I guess the experience is the reward I don't know of course like we're saying the experience is always the really really the award or the reward and that's not just you know lip service glamorous you know cliche lip service cuz where are we getting to anyway and you know and so you know um but no you know there I knew you know with several movies you know that it had like you say you know a limited potential anyway wasn't going to be a blockbuster yeah the mountain wasn't going to make the mountain wasn't going but it's you hope that I guess you hope I like I say I've never been careerist so I guess some people go in hoping oh this is the one I'm going to really grab the brass ring for of some kind I I've never really done that you just go this is worth yeah doing and we'll try to make this as good as possible then it goes well some people like it some people don't you so so nothing like I say distinct you know outstandingly you know shocking one way or another yeah like like like many actors who've been doing this a minute in recent years we've been returning to these characters that resonate whether it's the Independence Day sequel the Jurassic movies I'm curious like now looking back you got a chance to reprise in Malcolm a couple times one in a more significant Revisiting JURASSIC PARK way than the other um I don't know did you get something out of it I mean obviously that's fun to like revisit a character that people have so such affection for but did you feel like I don't know those characters were Serv in Dominion that you and Laura and Sam got enough fun stuff to do for your money I don't know there you go um that's a good that's a good question well so I did that first one then I did that second one with Julian Moore and Vince Von and you know that's um you know I I think that did well that was fun to do that was with Steven Spielberg still I love Lost World Lor's actually got some amazing stuff in there POS of the weight yeah and Richard Schiff and um and then you know I made an appearance in that next one worked you know I tried to do my best on that ja biona thing and then did that last one yes I you know I I worked hard I'm you know I guess that's the headline I I did work enjoyably yeah on that and went hey here's some I I I let me see if I can do this and tried to protect the character and everybody even every in every part of that movie every job uh uh description on that movie everybody was trying to you know protect the audien's you know not betray their interest and their um hopes for it um yeah I thought it went fine dity it was uh it was um it was enjoyable to be with Sam and Laura again and the three of us would huddle together and try to maximize our opportunity and see if we could you know um you know uh do the assignment uh yeah I thought finally I was okay the the um you know we did that at the beginning of covid and so they pioneered the uh some of those protocols during that it was it was an experience uh but yeah F delightful fine Dandy do you know anything about what's going on we talked about Jonathan Bailey like all I know no I I know nothing all I know is that um Jonathan biley after we said goodbye and you know he said hey you know this is what I'm gonna do and Scarlett Johansson so Scarlet Johansson I was I I knew I'd come into contact with her mom we had a meeting at the chatow Marmont when she was oh she'll remember better than I do you know 11 or 12 or 30 talking about something to possibly do together and and she was strikingly full of talent talent and gifts and beans and and vinegar you know from the start obviously and then she's just great and then we brushed we rubbed elbows on had a brush on um asteroid city of course she was in which she was spectacular I had my my little um my little thing um but but just to hang out a little bit was delightful I'm a big fan of hers and then I can't this is another secret that I'll only allude to no no okay no no it's uh um we we did something together that I'm looking forward um to um you know um bringing home um so U so you you'll see something about that but she's she is great is that Jurassic adjacent Marvel adjacent is that I can't tell you I can't tell you but uh so she is so what I know is what you I don't know as much as you do it's what what is it it's Scarlet andar Jonathan M Ali David kep is writing it I know I knew that didn't no M Ali I didn't know that oh yeah that's probably we don't even know if it has continuity like if it's like in this is it a reboot we don't know if it's a I Haven the vag idea I Haven I haven't heard a thing about it I'll be in a sleeping bag on the sidewalk possibly days before to get that first dicket oh yeah you know how I am with those abrupt sounds um so you may or may not have just alluded to Marvel but I am curious Future Marvel um is there more Grandmaster perhaps coming Grand Grandmaster hey you you put the emphasis on Grand more Grandmaster don't I say Grand the grandm grandmas if anything it's a little bit equal or second second syllable emphasized the Grand Master the grandm you said the grandmas well do you say roast beef I say roast beef you're focusing on the wrong cabable as always yeah do you say TV let's watch some TV I say let's watch the TV Jeff gold Bloom not gold Bloom uh that's right although I was in Argentina once once and the the the David Letterman at the time of Argentina said here he is Jeff gold Blum yeah he did wait what were you distracting me from so there may or may not be more grandm Grand Master uh I I if there is okay it's in your cards in the future cards and in your crystal ball Horwitz um do you keep up with the Marvel Shenanigans do you hear about yes Robert Downey Jr do you know about this I don't know what to what are you refering let me inform you he is coming back you know Iron Man Died I don't want to upset you Iron Man's dead Okay I this is a lot to process I know at once Iron Man Died yes yes but the good news I have good news for you Jeff Robert dowy junr is coming back as a bad guy Victor Von Doom AKA Dr Doom in Avengers Secret Wars process as you will excellent news I think I'd vaguely heard the yes yes I'd heard Whispers on my peripheral yes channels Victor Von Doom yeah what a name I like that name if my name had been Victor Von Doom I'd be a lot further along than I am now that's a great name or V to anything or van yeah Von gold boom would have been wonderful too fun gold Bloom hey what's the yes what's the in in North by Northwest ah yes it's James Mason's character what's his name in the picture come on come on that's upsetting we're gonna have to Google I don't it's been a minute it's vanam oh yeah yeah I think it's vanam and what's his first name I I forget but vanam wasn't he great that Martin landow oh so good and Carri Grant very very good and of course EV Marie Saint I could go on them arguably top five movies for me um although I didn't remember the character name although yeah that's okay V although if we're talking about Hitchcock maybe the tippity top for me is vertigo often at the top of those lists I have an affection for the birds but I do like I think vertigo is tippity top Bernard Herman score fantastic hey who's the reigning uh impressionist of Goldblum nowadays i' I've befriended Matt friend recently is Matt the guy I'm Goldblum impressions sure you have Matt friend I've seen from a little well come up yeah he's taking over Show Business he's the Eddie caner of Show Business now he's he's uh well on his way oh he's fantastic well he does a very nice uh thing oh there have been several here and there you know do you do any uh no I don't do anything I would not insult you to your face what are the do's and don'ts to doing a good Jeff gold what do you advise what do you say is there too much Heming and haing too much there's not too much of anything don't do do whatever you feel uh I'm always interested in the new a new Wrinkle in the gold blooming do whatever you you feel it it it you know processes processes its way individually based on the practitioner it's a state of mind as much as it is the mannerisms certainly certainly I think I feel I've acquitted myself in Gold Bloom I put a little too much gold Bloom seasoning in this conversation didn't I never enough really so who who are the top three right now is Matt up there who are the other oh sure well I would wouldn't want to you know insult anybody you know I still like David Davy when he was on the Saturday Night Live who else does it nowadays well Elon Gold okay does it you know um he does I would have said he puts a lot of emphasis on that but he sprinkles you know the the but I noticed myself doing it today as if I'm doing an impression of his impression but yeah you've uh yeah it's getting a little meta um it could have yeah being uh Jeff Goldblum the sequel to being John malovich it's inevitable I don't think so nothing's inevitable but and that's inadvisable but uh I don't know what else should we plug I have to let you go but uh chaos August 29th yes sir I really I really am interested in seeing what you think of that I really liked it great great actors I really like it um uh
