#1292 - Lex Fridman

Joe Rogan (0:02)

Ready, boom, and we're live. Hello, Lex.

Lex Fridman (0:05)

Hey.

Joe Rogan (0:06)

What's going on?

Lex Fridman (0:06)

The sequel, part two.

Joe Rogan (0:08)

You have a very similar, if not the exact same, suit on.

Lex Fridman (0:11)

This is all I wear.

Joe Rogan (0:12)

You look very professional.

Lex Fridman (0:13)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:13)

Very Reservoir Dogs.

Lex Fridman (0:16)

Reservoir Dogs? Well, let's go to the best sequel of all time, Godfather, part two.

Joe Rogan (0:20)

Is that the best sequel of all time? I think John Wick might be.

Lex Fridman (0:23)

I haven't seen John Wick. How dare you, sir.

Godfather, part two. I mean, that has to be the best sequel. Okay. Then, and if this is Godfather, part two, let's definitely not do part three.

Joe Rogan (0:37)

Yeah, part three was terrible, right?

Lex Fridman (0:39)

Well, let's not offend anyone, but it was not up to part... Yeah.

Joe Rogan (0:43)

I don't remember it.

Lex Fridman (0:45)

It was the older Pacino.

Joe Rogan (0:47)

Oh.

Lex Fridman (0:48)

With that deeper voice.

Joe Rogan (0:49)

Oh, that was like way later, right?

Lex Fridman (0:51)

That was 90s.

Joe Rogan (0:53)

Oh, okay. So, it's like point break the remix.

Lex Fridman (0:58)

Yes. Right?

Joe Rogan (0:59)

When they try to redo things, like way, way, way later, they almost never... Except the Alien franchise. They've done a pretty fucking good job with the Alien franchise. They had a couple of duds in there, but for the most part.

Lex Fridman (1:10)

I've actually never seen the Alien franchise.

Jamie (1:12)

What?

Joe Rogan (1:13)

Who are you? What's wrong with you?

Aren't you in a science?

Lex Fridman (1:17)

Intelligent men can disagree, but...

Jamie (1:19)

You're not in the science?

Joe Rogan (1:21)

I don't know.

Lex Fridman (1:25)

That the older sent a woman, Al Pacino. You know that movie? Really? Yeah.

What?

Joe Rogan (1:30)

Over an alien?

Lex Fridman (1:34)

He got the Oscar for that one.

Joe Rogan (1:35)

What about the one when he played the devil? And the devil likes to rant!

Lex Fridman (1:39)

Okay. There's two.

There's duds for everybody.

Joe Rogan (1:43)

What was that one?

Jamie (1:43)

That was Advocate.

Joe Rogan (1:44)

Aha. There you go.

Lex Fridman (1:45)

That was with Keanu Reeves.

Jamie (1:48)

Ah.

Joe Rogan (1:48)

Keanu Reeves from John Wick. I heard John Wick part three is very good.

Lex Fridman (1:51)

Or The Matrix. The better movie.

Joe Rogan (1:54)

Not true.

Jamie (1:55)

Did you see this? That happened, this high school in North Bergen, Jersey, put on the Alien play a couple weeks ago.

Joe Rogan (2:00)

And Sigourney Weaver showed up, right?

Jamie (2:02)

Oh, she showed up just the other day to say thanks or whatever, tell them they did awesome.

It looked like crazy. And I was just wondering, if they did this when you were in high school, do you think you might have joined drama? Like if they did the Alien play?

Joe Rogan (2:13)

I would have loved it. I would have watched it. I'm not getting into drama. Those people cry too much.

It's too much work. It's a cool suit, though.

Lex Fridman (2:22)

Yeah.

Let's talk about this. There's two kinds of movies. There's fun movies and there's movies that are like transformational for society. Get sent to a woman.

Joe Rogan (2:30)

What? Are you going to say sent of a woman is transformational for society?

Lex Fridman (2:34)

Yeah, it's one of the greatest scenes between a man and a woman on film, the tango scene.

Joe Rogan (2:40)

Are you not married?

Lex Fridman (2:41)

No, I'm not married.

Joe Rogan (2:45)

It's like someone talking about French who can't speak French.

Lex Fridman (2:48)

I see. Yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:49)

It's nonsense. That movie sucked.

Lex Fridman (2:50)

I read about French in the book. Talking about France without ever being in Paris, yeah.

Joe Rogan (2:56)

Is Sent of a Woman your favorite movie?

Lex Fridman (2:58)

No, it's not my favorite movie.

Joe Rogan (2:59)

I don't really think that movie sucked either, by the way, if you're getting mad right now. I barely remember it.

Lex Fridman (3:02)

But it is up there.

Joe Rogan (3:04)

I'm sure it's a good movie.

Lex Fridman (3:05)

It's one of the greatest performances by any actor ever.

Jamie (3:07)

Jesus Christ, bro. Jesus Christ.

Joe Rogan (3:09)

You okay?

Lex Fridman (3:09)

We're off to a good start.

Jamie (3:10)

Yeah, yeah.

Lex Fridman (3:12)

I bet you there's thousands of people who agree with me right now.
