i was a senior in high school, 1993. me and my dad went to S List on the big screen. we lived in the country and it was a little rural movie theater. Mostly empty theater. You remember, the film had an intermission?? I went to the lobby and wandered around during the break and i was torn emotionally -- I couldn't wait to go back in and see this masterpiece, but I also dreaded it, thinking this was the holocaust and "this was not going to end up well." what a feeling. Outside it was idyllic sun drenched corn fields but inside is black and white Amon Goethe shooting people in the snow.... powerful day. Thank you Mr. Spielberg
I grew up in the 70s - 80s. I was abused and I would escape the monster at home with Spielbergs monsters and adventures on screen and where the good guys stood a chance. Guess it gave me hope. I love this man dearly and wish I could thank him for helping a scared little girl slay some very scary monsters.
Indigenous female filmmaker here 🙋🏽♀️ Steven Spielberg’s movies have made a huge impact on me and I loved the question about impact “on the world”. So happy you were able to get him on Smartless. ❤ Sean wins for best guest of 2023 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Steven's warmth, kindness, and genuine generosity really shine through. And what's also interesting is that after so many years in the business he doesn't seem jaded, he still exudes that childlike curiosity and sense of wonder and joy for filmmaking. Really great episode. And I think it's the first one where not one of you guys joked around or bantered which shows the reverence you guys have for him.
Steven's humanity and kindness really shines in this episode, particularly in Will's story at the end. It's wonderful to know that a man who is literally at the top of the Hollywood elite is such a good person. Of course, close to my heart is Spielberg's latest semi-autobiographical account in "The Fabelmans", detailing his childhood memories including his parents divorce. Another wonderful episode guys, keep it up! - Yoel
Excellent episode guys! I had the pleasure of being directed on a small, but very funny scene with Judd Hirsch on The Fablemans. And it was all created by Spielberg! That's what made it more meaningful to me. 😊
Steven Spielberg was a cool guy while I was an extra for the movie, " 1941". It wasn't as good as I hoped, but they treated the extras well. Hundreds of them. Payed good for non union too! I appreciate the work and the time it takes. God bless Steven Spielberg.
God, as a wannabe filmmaker, the things I’d do to get even a minute of Steven’s time! Wonderful podcast guys, if I could beg you folks to arrange a one on one with Steven with me, I would. Hahaha Love you all and I hope your podcast goes places!
So satisfying to hear a multi-millionaire, super famous, rich guy talk about his struggles. Im so inspired now, my whole life is going to change after listening to this ruch guy make miney hand over fist on all his movies. So heartbreaking to hear that his daughter had access to equestrian training from 5 years old, what a struggle.
Enjoyed this Encounter of the best kind with Spielberg ;; Director , humanist , artist and more. You Smartness shined today boys ( Sean, Will and Jason )
Thanks for your awesome podcast! This was such a great episode. All 3 of you were so clearly equally entranced. Maybe this is jumping the gun, but I thought I'd share ideas for other guests!: Bill Simmons, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton, Tim Gunn, Eric Andre, Roger Deakins, Amy Schumer, Andre Baugher, David Simon, Rashida Jones, Aubrey Plaza, Tom McCarthy and Josh Singer, Donald Glover, Kathryn Bigelow, Nikole Hannah-Jones, Blair Imani, Tina Fey and any other amazing female writers... ok ill stop now lol.....
I had no idea on George Lucas’s contribution to Jurassic Park on color correction or editing of the film. I also had no idea Steven Spielberg meet George Lucas while he was in college after showing THX 1138 to an audience.
As many folks, Steven Spielberg makes common mistake with the phrase "per say", when in reality it is "Per se" - a phrase taken directly from the Latin, meaning “by itself,” and with the sense of “in and of itself.”
EVERY TIME Spielberg is interviewed, his relationship with Kubrick is NEVER mentioned. An hour of fan boy bullshit, completely omitting anything involving the real mastery of the craft. A waste of a true visionary's time.
OK, dude chill out, the guy is just talking about what's going on in his life, the guy is probably inundated on questions about making movies on the craft all the time probably just wants to relax though that is really cool and I'd like to hear it to these guys are comedian actors. He doesn't just want to talk at them about his film process.

The Indy gunshot was exactly what I’d always wanted ALL movies to do! F off, I’ve got stuff to do 😆

Steven is such a lovely and beautiful energy! I am tearing up how gracious of a man he is. He is STEVEN SPIELBERG!!!!
I just listened to this podcast on apple and I had to come here to make a comment
Sean Hayes “No paper?” Line killed me. Unbelievable!
No words....everyone asked great questions and he was just awesome. Now please try for John Williams!
This is the episode when Jason asks Steven all his directing questions under the guise as being for “all the film school students out there” LOL 😂

Wow, Steven Spielberg & Bojack Horseman on one podcast 🖤
The best interview ever! Thank you, boys! 😊
Whole other level. Fantastic. He truly is an incredible talent and person and you all clicked. Loved this conversation. Well played Sean!
on a Bateman binge right now lol discovered this
wow, i just started listening to these episodes this one is the best!
The most amazing conversation ever. ❤
So many people with incredible talents helped create Spielberg's films. The scores for example John Williams made the films come to life.
LOL Spielberg is so good on this podcast you should add him as a regular. Just dream - he is definitely a fan of the podcast.
I tune in for the inside baseball, so never apologize, Will. Typing from Toronto. This was great! Thanks for such a perfect podcast!
Best ever ❤
When I saw the name I GASPED SO HARD! Yes
Great episode. Spielberg is the GOAT. We are all lucky to have experienced his masterpieces
6 decades of academy nominations. That's it that's the comment.
20:12 huh
God, as a wannabe filmmaker, the things I’d do to get even a minute of Steven’s time! Wonderful podcast guys, if I could beg you folks to arrange a one on one with Steven with me, I would. Hahaha Love you all and I hope your podcast goes places!
"No paper?" hahahahaha....love you Sean. I died.

A great guest and an even better host Sean H!

You Smartness shined today boys ( Sean, Will and Jason )

Rashida Jones, Donald Glover and Roger Deakins would be interesting. Also, I personally would love a few writers on the show.
33:49 Steve's favorites
Jason's 2nd longest question ever
I had no idea on George Lucas’s contribution to Jurassic Park on color correction or editing of the film. I also had no idea Steven Spielberg meet George Lucas while he was in college after showing THX 1138 to an audience.
Hermoso.
I love Steven Spielberg, the dude's always been sort of a realist, but very fine filmmaker with a positive motivation
CLEARLY, the boys had a heads up for this one.
Steven, may I call you Mr. Spielberg?
Spielberg should direct the legendary heroic story of the Sumerian King Gilgamesh of Uruk and the Anunnaki Sumerian Kings List.
Get those lowrider suspension setups Jason.. you can bounce the front end when honeys walk in front of you at the intersection, and it goes up)))
I did not know that story about financing Lincoln.
Where is the Smartless Podcast video version?
wow, i mean just wow
Who was that actor Spielberg had a conflict with in that tv movie? So curious
Can I watch somewhere the podcast with live view nőt just the Sound?
Don't you think that if they had a visual component to this podcast that UA-cam would be the place they would upload it?
Their docuseries is on MAX.
The former HBO MAX.
~ Smartless: On the Road ~
Let's Do It! Great How Jason is accusing Steven of throwing people out of airplanes with dodgy parachutes... lol
Jason knows things the rest of us do not 😔
I volunteer to set up the cameras for the video portion, hire me!

Welcome
Whaaaat???!!!
Spielberg's movies are either about T-Rexes or Germans
Or aliens lmao
Or robot
Or trucks.
Y’all need to get drew Barrymore!
Algorithm+1
Not true, I know who Gabby Hayes is.
Don't be reluctant to ask "inside baseball" questions.
...aren't the coronaviruses = number 2 leading cause of the common cold, parainfluenza = number 3, rsv = number 4 leading cause of the common cold?
Steven who? Get some real celebrities on here, why don't ya

Tainted lamb? Maybe just don't eat flesh?
funny how this genius think it was the end of the world event listening to fauci and stuff, just goes to show you the power of media eh
Ahhh…the joy of woke political views. 😏
Ahhh, the joy of people needing to comment just because someone has different opinions than them on a podcast they listen to.
finished watching the golden globes great winners but i wan't more banshees awards
