He did a Q&A after a screening of Blackberry in Chicago last week and started off by roasting Beau is Afraid unprompted for at least 2 minutes straight 😂
Him laughing at Savina's review and then seeing her top 4 and knowing exactly why she didn't like the film (there are no female characters aside from tiny parts with a few lines). Absolutely hilarious.
my partner is an engineer (and a woman) and she didn't even notice the lack of women in the movie since she's so used to offices full of guys like that lol
Lol yup, welcome to Letterboxd, where half the zoomers on there review films solely based on identity politics. Not enough women or POC? Two stars for you!
I disagree with almost everything he said, but this is the energy I’ve been missing. Let the teeth come out! Finally a filmmaker who’s not afraid to talk shit
He’s just a film snob with a controversial opinion or two under his belt like all of us. Love that he’s not afraid to shit talk, he’s got a good spirit. It’s not like a revolutionary or anything but it’s refreshing when a film maker is not all peaches and cream about film. Nirvanna The Band The Show is a great stab at geek culture and unabashed obsessions
The fact that it's kinda mindless sh*t is what bothers me. He guested on Sardonicast and said that Under The Silver Lake just had pacing/structural issues that could have been tightened in editing. Now he's devolved to just saying it's worthless outside of Garfield's performance with no real justification behind it.
@@tekkenchampion832 interesting you think he's a film snob, the way he talks about movies feels the exact opposite to me lol, laid back and simple, you can see what kind of stuff he enjoys rather than values like youre looking through glass
Matt Johnson is legitimately one of my favorite filmmakers working today, I hope black Berry is super successful so he gets to make more movies! If anyone here hasn’t checked out his other work PLEASE do so, The Dirties, Operation Avalanche, Nirvana The Band The Show
@@MamadNobari lol you haven’t even seen them. There’s his tv show too which is amazing. His stuff really hit me on a level that made me understand how to make movies and he helped me find what my style is
I watched The Dirties in Glasgow back in March and Matt gave the most hilarious Q&A I ever had the pleasure to attend! Sadly I didn't get to catch Blackberry during that festival, but I look forward to watching it soon. Love this guy!
i love a person who craves giving and receiving feedback, even if it's negative. it makes it so much easier to respect their work even if you dislike it.
Matt Johnson just quoted an "Unforgivable" episode with his Letterboxd profile: "Doctor Zhivago, A Brief Encounter, and Bridge on the River Kwai. A LEAN NIGHT!"
I appreciate the top 4s that seem like random movies because you know those are ACTUALLY that person's favourote movies and they're not trying to show off.
I’m so happy he’s getting some mainstream recognition especially here in the states. He and Jay created my favorite sitcom of all time and Matt has now made 3 of my favorite movies. Go SEE BLACKBERRY
Gotta give it to this guy he’s the first person in Hollywood to make some thing I liked watching in like 10 years. And you guys didn’t try to do anything to kids who are under age Good job on you for that👍🏿
“Right now it’s at 3.7 but this is going to plummet.” For reference, a month after release to general audiences, the movie has an average rating of 3.9
8:04 cant tell if he’s being serious about this or if its a reference to the classic youtube video “Unforgivable #2” A LEAN NIGHT Edit: he very well may love those movies but in his sight and sounds list he says the same three with his comment being “a lean night”. I love you matt johnson
Matt Johnson (May 2023): BlackBerry is at a 3.7 as soon as it releases in full the numbers are gonna plumet. April 2024: Currently stands at 3.8 on Letterboxd.
Just came out the North Hollywood Laemmle theater in Los Angeles, this is the first review I clicked on, driving around with Ninja turtles movie in hand was hilarious, film was great. My number one of all time is Requiem for a Dream, followed by A Scanner Darkly, Martyrs and The Prestige... gonna go start a Letterboxd now.
first time hearing of this guy but I already love him lol this made me look into his stuff. Dude has a great personality. Also he looks exactly like Chris D'elia, which may not be a good thing depending how you look at it... but there is that..
Matt if you see this it’s so difficult to find your films for rent in Australia, I had to buy The Dirties and Operation Avalanche, the second I saw at the movies and loved, and I just saw your new film at MIFF, and loved it!
I am so sick and tired of these kinds of movies but I love them when they’re great and the more I learn the more I hear that it’s great I’m definitely going to watch it now
Feeling bored so starts to read the lowest review, and then instantly checks their favorites to judge their taste…
He’s just like me😭😭😭
Matt Johnson roasting Under The Silver Lake and Beau is Afraid was uncalled for and hilarious lmao
@@i_so_late he's probably friends with them to a degree and is just busting chops. That or he doesn't care. Funny regardless

@@WhySoAwkward What did he say about it? Like what didn't he like about it?
@@WhySoAwkward i need to hear about this lmao
I love Ari aster but Beau is afraid is a frustrating and terrible movie. Great moments, but mostly bad. It deserves all the roasts lololol
"More like blandberry"
It was right there.
I was thinking "WackBerry"
@@McGillForRealliterally anything is more clever than midberry lmao
I thought of “decaf berry” but it doesn’t roll off the tongue too well.
@@sickrandy2946 I think it's supposed to be low-effort and on trend with calling everything "mid"
@@pex3 yeah well that makes it even worse lmao
Reads bad review > goes to check top 4 to invalidate opinion > profit
this guy is also hilarious as hell

As a Nirvanna The Band fan, seeing the number of interviews with Matt go up 100-fold makes me very happy
Holy fucking shit I didn’t realize this was him. The wii shop song guy. Whaaaaaaaaaat good for him

Can you explain why he’s one of your favorite directors working now?
And Matt and Bird Break Loose!
He only has made like three movies and apart from this one, they all have mediocre reviews, how is he your favorite working today.💀
@@MamadNobari lol you haven’t even seen them. There’s his tv show too which is amazing. His stuff really hit me on a level that made me understand how to make movies and he helped me find what my style is
@@AlexLeyba1 Fair enough
2:37 “this..this is a failed diss”
God I love Matt Johnson.
He came in hot with this. Hats off to him.
"when the movie comes out the reviews are gonna plumettttt" I like how self aware he is. Can't wait to see this movie
It actually went up 😂
Yeah it went from 3.7 to 3.9 lol
Love the Unforgivable reference at the end. A LEAN NIGHT
WHAT YALL WATCHING HOES?
The Legend of Bagger Vance!
GET DAT BULL OFF DA TV….I BROUGHT A COUPLE OF DVDS OVER
He also included those in his Sight & Sound top ten lol
going back to Unforgivable like a decade later after having seen a couple of David Lean films I finally got how insanely funny that line was
Came down here for this comment in particular, genuinely a legend for doing that lmao
i love how he just starts reviewing the films that people have favourited
This is what I've wanted from all of these videos. Have some fun with it!
the "dating site" bit made me genuinely laugh out loud
Love these videos of director's reading their Letterboxd reviews. Keep them coming.
Roasting Magic Mike XXL and Before Sunrise and thinking they were a troll was unforgivable
love your reviews dude
Matt Johnson saying his top 4 movies would be the same 3 movies the unforgiveable video guy brought over in that video… what an incredible reference
What do you mean
@@MichaEl-hl7pp google "a lean night"
“this guy is looking to pick up girls” was legit what went through my head as well
I watched The Dirties in Glasgow back in March and Matt gave the most hilarious Q&A I ever had the pleasure to attend! Sadly I didn't get to catch Blackberry during that festival, but I look forward to watching it soon. Love this guy!
In lieu of the third season of NTBTS, i'm gonna need Matt to just do this every week
This dude is funny af. Def gonna watch the movie. Coming in as a huge sunny fan
I love how unphased this dude reads everything. He is hardened.
He has that I-don't-give-a-fuck energy I need more of in my life
Go work on a film set for a couple of years - everyone is like that.
Dr. Zhivago, Brief Encounter and Bridge on the River Kwai? Sounds like a lean night to me. Genius reference.
6:58 "Right now it's at 3.7, but this is gonna plummet."
Update March 2024: 3.8
Matt made another great.
i love a person who craves giving and receiving feedback, even if it's negative. it makes it so much easier to respect their work even if you dislike it.
Holy shit the balls to go after Spielberg at the end like that
"I don't think you lost it after Jurassic Park".
Love this dude.
Clearly did this one too early bring this man back when it’s wide released I say! I want him to read more bad reviews
we may do part two, watch this space
@@LetterboxdHQ please do it. This is your most popular recent video, the follow-up would be gold!
@@LetterboxdHQ Guys, do it.
His top 4 is absolutely unforgivable
Such a deep cut
A LEAN NIGHT.
Literally making his Letterboxd top 4 a reference to a decade old youtube video... Unforgivable!
Matt Johnson accurately roasting the roasts against him is everything I had hoped it would be ❤
"Doctor Zhivago, Brief Encounter, and The Bridge over the River Kwai. A LEAN NIGHT." - Unforgivable #2
th-cam.com/video/Mz1nQEQ6UAQ/w-d-xo.html
lol his top 3 films at the end. a direct reference to one of the greatest TH-cam vids of all time
Matt Johnson just quoted an "Unforgivable" episode with his Letterboxd profile: "Doctor Zhivago, A Brief Encounter, and Bridge on the River Kwai. A LEAN NIGHT!"

Go SEE BLACKBERRY
i love this little freak, we need to see more of matt
This is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. I need every director to do this
Gotta give it to this guy he’s the first person in Hollywood to make some thing I liked watching in like 10 years. And you guys didn’t try to do anything to kids who are under age Good job on you for that👍🏿
“Right now it’s at 3.7 but this is going to plummet.”
For reference, a month after release to general audiences, the movie has an average rating of 3.9
Ok this was pretty great. Dude is hilarious. Kinda want to watch the movie now because of this. Also yes, give letterboxd a dating option.
Movie is great!
"Dr. Zhivago, Brief Encounter, and The Bridge on the River Kwai...a lean night!"
I need him so bad it’s getting me
8:04 YOOOOO… he quoted the guy from Unforgivable at the end. A LEAN NIGHT! I am howling 😂😂
"This is a failed diss" lmao I love him so much
Only working director who roasts so freely, love it
8:04 is that a reference to Unforgivable lmao
A Lean night
The fact that he checks with his fans top 4 films is just so fking matt johnson.
Never have i seen a guy so enthusiastic about L opinions, fair play.
8:04 cant tell if he’s being serious about this or if its a reference to the classic youtube video “Unforgivable #2”
A LEAN NIGHT
Edit: he very well may love those movies but in his sight and sounds list he says the same three with his comment being “a lean night”. I love you matt johnson
That's what I immediately thought. No way that wasn't an unforgivable ref
his sight and sound top 10 makes the same reference, and his only comments are "a LEAN night".
I want Matt to roast my top 4 so badly now!
Me too!! He would hate it hahahahahah
drop your handle, we might ask him if he agrees to do it again
@@LetterboxdHQ @svenunovo
@@LetterboxdHQCan I jump on this too? My handle is Doctrin
@@LetterboxdHQ @jkBlueRose
He looks like a fairy sprinkled pixie dust on a cartoon and it came to life.
excited to see what else he does. thats rare for me these days
Great UNFORGIVABLE reference at the end there.
"more lile Hackberry"
nah it was actually fantastic
I re-watch this interview when I need a reminder of how much me and matt are alike
Cannot believe the Unforgivable reference, amazing
love that they started printing them out and vetting them after this lol
the three films Matt chose to list at the end were unforgivable
he wanted a LEAN night
I’m so glad someone else caught that
Letterboxd TH-cam is being handled amazingly. Bells on
the beau is afraid and under the silver lake shade caught me off guard
"It's at 3.7 right now but this is gonna plummet"
It's 3.8 now lol.
Doctor Zhivago, A Brief Encounter and Bridge on the River Kwai? A LEAN NIGHT.
obligatory 'where is Nirvanna the band the show season 3' comment, also so happy for Matt and his ongoing success ❤
Absolutely loved blackberry, it was fantastic !
In the first sentence, he shows how Canadian he is 'eh'. Also asmr.
Love the energy and Matt's movies but Under the Silver Lake is underrated as hell. Yet to watch Beau though I'm cautiously optimistic about it
Do not be. Terrible and overindulgent
its amazing
The first 30 minutes would’ve been a great short film. 70% of the movie feels completely superfluous.
This was published in May 2023 and it's now January 2025 and it hasn't dropped down from 3.7 but in fact, it's sitting at a solid 3.8!
Was the top 3 a reference to the early youtube masterpiece "Unforgivable"? Cause if so that's legendary
Just naming David Lean films is hilarious
Love this guy’s vibe.
Even Spielberg caught a stray lmao 😭
The most important moment is the clear distinction he makes between magic mike and magic mike xxl
I love Beau is Afraid and Under the Silver Lake almost equally with The Dirties. Still gotta watch Blackberry
My god i love this. If I had more reviews of my films, I'd do this. lol
8:05 A LEAN NIGHT… unforgivable…
Finally he can call himself the director of BlackBerry
Hi Matt I have zero issues with the movie...I loved it!!! I'll be watching it again!!
Hey Johnson, sweatpants are out.
He’s so honest which is hilarious him begging for half stars 😂
Did he say “wint’s stuff”? As in dril?
i cant tell if he said that or "wince stuff" as in stuff that will make him wince
C'mon folks, Matt Johnson wants to get pithed on.
Matt Johnson (May 2023): BlackBerry is at a 3.7 as soon as it releases in full the numbers are gonna plumet.
April 2024: Currently stands at 3.8 on Letterboxd.
I feel like Matt would have appreciate that one if it were “more like wackberry”
Just came out the North Hollywood Laemmle theater in Los Angeles, this is the first review I clicked on, driving around with Ninja turtles movie in hand was hilarious, film was great. My number one of all time is Requiem for a Dream, followed by A Scanner Darkly, Martyrs and The Prestige... gonna go start a Letterboxd now.
"these numbers are really padded, like right now its at a 3.7, but this is going to PLUMMET". Currently at a 3.8 👏
first time hearing of this guy but I already love him lol this made me look into his stuff. Dude has a great personality.
Also he looks exactly like Chris D'elia, which may not be a good thing depending how you look at it... but there is that..
He looks nothing like D'elia the fuck are you talking about
This is the best one of these.
2:52 when i realized i will watch any movie this guy makes
The top 3 he chooses at the end are.... Unforgivable
Second review spells DENNIS if you combine the letters of each new line
Matt if you see this it’s so difficult to find your films for rent in Australia, I had to buy The Dirties and Operation Avalanche, the second I saw at the movies and loved, and I just saw your new film at MIFF, and loved it!
Watched this movie last night, Matt was so funny in it. Great movie
I wish Matt Johnson had Letterboxd
Matt Johnson in his Alex Turner phase.
I am so sick and tired of these kinds of movies but I love them when they’re great and the more I learn the more I hear that it’s great I’m definitely going to watch it now
I love matts obsession with David lean
