I got home from oppenheimer and immediately had to investigate who played Teller fully knowing who the Safdie brothers were (but never having seen their faces). Learning that Benny played one of the most crucial parts in the movie was pleasantly surprising! His performance was incredible without the benefit of knowing that he was a major Hollywood player beforehand.
Actually been re-watching GoodTime recently after some watching some interviews the Safdies brothers did when the movie came out. The way they made the movie and the reason they created it are as amazing as the movie itself.
I used to tell Benny, back when i luckily just happened to be at the same college as him, like 2 yrs his junior, "Hey man, let's be in a movie together." i still stand by that.
@11:30 Box office for kid films is about what is recently interesting to kids. Kids don't read Judy Bloom now. They should have made this in the 80s, 90s or early aughts. Now kids like others authors, like Neil Gaiman. The Babysitter's Club and Judy Bloom are 80s books -- that's a long time ago for kids now. That's like if you were a 90s kid being told to watch a movie about a book that was cool in the 50s.
Y'all really pressed they have a white man on here who's in a movie based on a book, that Charlamagne is a big fan of; If you're that offended maybe you should become a radio jockey and host your own show.
This is a talented film maker and has more money than most of the people they interview. Are they only suppose to interview ignorant rappers? Stop being a hater, because that gets you no where in life 🙌
What do you mean anybody? He and his brother directed Uncut Gems, he in a new Christopher Nolan film, and he’s in Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.
Benny Safdie explaining Italian neorealist cinema, on the Breakfast Club, is unbelievably cute and hilarious. You could recite ancient hebrew scripture to these people and they'd understand as much of what's been said.
Seriously one of the best parts of Oppenheimer. His accent was on point.
I was genuinely happy seeing him in the movie. He killed his role
Good gosh you nailed it... The central thing I remember from the movie was his performance.
He may have been a douchebag, but that’s what makes him the funniest character in my opinion!
People really acting like he’s some random dude. This guy’s directed two movies that are some of the best ever made.
They don't the industry
All 3 of thir movies were a1
Heh? His movies aren’t known to a lot of ppl.
Cool story van go @@superwomankarmilia
I'd argue that HKW, GoodTime and Uncut Gems are three of the greatest American contemporary movies of this century

Benny is a Really Big Guest for film nerds
HONESTLY!
This is another good one. I'm also glad to see that you guys have gone outside of your normal box to get a great interview. Hey!! 👍🏾👍🏾
Not really outside their box. He's acting in and directing a film based on a book charlamagne read and loves
Quite possibly my favorite character in Oppenheimer dude killed it
He was really good .He nailed the reaction during the bomb
Anybody who's never seen his movie "Good Time" please go watch it ASAP
WAIT THEY DID THAT MOVIE TOO!?
I just knew the Sadfie brothers did uncut gems!
Amazing movie!!
@@aphoticphotonbenny plays nick, the mentally challenged (do you say that in english??) brother of robert pattinsons character! He is AMAZING in it

Omg the legend “uncut gemmmzzzz” and good times 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Are you there God, is such a wonderful, sweet, funny, touching movie. Loved it. And Safdie is great in it.
16:00 Benny: I was in the Oppenheimer movie…
20:19 Charlamagne: You’re in the Oppenheimer movie coming up, right?
😭
Shows he wasn't paying attention
Also literally rephrased the exact point he made 4 minutes ago
Put respect on the safdie brothers name
I dont respect Jews sorry
This is awesome. Please interview more filmmakers !
Took my tween to see Are you There God and they loved it. I also appreciate thr subtle nods to diversity in the film.
I used to tell Benny, back when i luckily just happened to be at the same college as him, like 2 yrs his junior, "Hey man, let's be in a movie together." i still stand by that.
My favorite character and performance in Oppenheimer, good work man.
Excellent performance as edward teller!
Love Benny…super down to earth & an intelligent. I could listen to him talk for hours!
IF YALL DONT KNOW BENNY SAFDIE YALL DONT KNOW NY AND NY FILM
Good time amazing movie
Dude was excellent in Oppenheimer
Guy directs but can't stop acting. Living my dream, man.
He's one of those actors that wherever he has a big role or small i enjoy watching him!😄
LEGENDARY NY SHIT

0:15 Goddamn it Envy, you or a producer could have confirmed that prior
Ikr this is pretty much every interview. Yall can't do some research?
He was the bomb in good time
Great interview, thanks for sharing
Physics? And now he’s playing William Teller in Oppenheimer 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Edward Teller
Yup. I had 4 passes and couldn’t get no one to go with me. Dragged my husband. But I think it should be released for streaming
This guy was so convincing as Edward Teller.
Awesome random guest

Buster keaton was different!
*And the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor goes to ...*
Benny Safdie for Good Time.
I hate Charlemagne, but I love Benny and this was actually an enjoyable interview
charlamagne restating exactly what Safdie said about Oppenheimer and AI in an effort to sound intelligent is comical.
I thought this was Jimmy from Degrassi
Good Time *****
09:29 Columbia prep 🥴🥴
Isn't New York built on top of a huge quartz crystal..maybe that contributes to the connectedness
I was not expecting to see Cory Matthews on this show.
Lol ikr
Theyre talking to a young scorcese
* sees title * This guy's too sharp to be up here.
Sees comment. But you’re here
Why does he look like. “It’s Pat”?
Thats great that he wrote these great movies and is so great in film and writing but jeez hes boring as far as an interview. This is very boring.
They just be interviewing anyone nowadays lol 🙄
His movies good af tbh

What do you mean anybody? He and his brother directed Uncut Gems, he in a new Christopher Nolan film, and he’s in Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.
Your ignorance is showing like crazy
The disrespect for an acclaimed filmmaker is crazy
