Love love Joel. His character is complex and very human and I love it.
I adore Michael Zegen
I adore the pink pyrex in Season 1. :-) And the toast rack!
Alex did a great job! The interview was like a private conversation between friends.
These kids. These actors. These wonderful artists....they are so real. Great interview. Thanks for putting forth the time and transparency. Loved it.
This interview is interesting, the interviewer obviously has a lot of insight into the characters, but... she's asking actors about the characters as though they ARE the characters and not actors playing parts that are written for them.
It's very weird.
Yes, you said it exactly. Strangest interview I’ve ever seen.
This is exactly what I was thinking! You can sense the awkwardness in their faces and their responses as they look nervously at each other. I kept thinking "how are they supposed to know? Only Amy Sherman-Palladino could answer those questions".
Yeah, the interviewer needs a life....damn!, they're playing characters for crying out loud
omg thank you alex. such a satisfying deep dive. feelings!
Amazing interview love how organic and real it was .... They are awesome performers that are just so humble and relatable.... This interview flew by as I was so entertained !!!!
A terrific inside, behind-the-scenes look at this fabulous show and its super leads. They are real people, and working people, and it's great for the general audience to see that. Brava.
A great interviewer; she’s so aware of and definitely a fan of the show!
Best interview of this cast. Thank you!
Appreciate the "parenting" on the show! Makes us look better! Even my daughter noticed. ;)
Love this show! Bravo!
May have named our new kitten "The Marvelous Mrs Meowsel"
Midge for short.
It’s a great show! The acting is fantastic and the costumes and set designs are gorgeous.
Why ask the actors. Why wouldn’t she ask the writers. Wouldn’t they have a better insight.
Exactly! I kept thinking, she should be asking Amy Sherman-Palladino these specific questions. The actors are just playing the characters! I felt so bad for them to try to answer the questions.
Spoiler Alert
I love the character of Joel in the show. Yes, he did mess up his life badly but he was lost. And it is very real and human to me. Then he tried his best to find himself, such as working hard to fix the family business while taking care of kids, punching the manager who didn't pay Midge, speaking up at the resort on behalf of the family and supporting her with her career choice at the family dinner, even he didn't want to be the topic of her comedy (fair enough).
While we blame on Joel cheated on the Midge, we seem to forget that Midge cheated on her finance, Ben.
Comparing this Joel and Midge, I found Joel spend a bit more time with the kids then Midge.
The scene when Joel was drunk and begged for forgiveness really touched my heart.
Anyway, just want to share that I think the character Joel was well written and acted out.
Becky, I completely disagree!
Don't get me wrong, I really like the show and this interview was very interesting and entertaining, but for me the way you and Alex and Rachel and Michael see Joel is absolutely naive. He is just an inmature, spoiled jerk. He lives a very good life: he has a well paid, secure job, he has a wonderful wife and two healthy children, but is he happy? No, he's crying like a little boy because his unrealistic dreams didn't come true. That's not just inmature, that's f...ing ridiculous! I don't wanna say that he's a bad guy, but he's also not a good guy. Maybe in five or ten years he could become a grown-up, but now he's just a whiny boy pretending to be a man.
Well, technically. After the call, I think Midge broke their engagement over the phone after the offer to work for Shy.
I love Joel too!
36:20 I love Rachel's explanation of why her character identifies as Mrs. Maisel - it's complex but makes so much sense
Alex, something to consider: you have two ears and one mouth; use them in that ratio. The result will be far more interesting for your listeners. Most of us are probably more keen to hear what the actors have to say. It's great that you're enthusiastic but you're not the star.
Couldn't agree more. Talk less, listen more, Alex! You don't need to prove to us that you have memorized the whole season. We're here to hear from the actors.
This interviewer is terrible. She needs to keep her questions to the point and not read so much into each scene. Let the actors tell it.
I agree
Really good.
I hate interviewers that talk more than the subjects they're interviewing. Let THEM talk!!
Super cast.
Does this interviewer know they are actors and not the writers. They are not really the people on tv
The interviewer was good
Michael Zegen clearly hasn’t thought about this stuff as deeply as super fans have... 😂
He’s like “I just read the script!”
I think Joel was afraid to disappoint I’d be as he said. Midge is an overpowering personality and I think Joel felt a little lost in the relationship. I luv luv luv the character. I actually just watched it. Omg,
"The Mediocre Mr. Maisel" 🤣🤣🤣 and he thinks he isn't good at improvising
What about the parallels between Midge and Abe’s personality traits and Rose and Joel’s personality traits? How we choose out mates in terms of parental reflection.
The interviewer clearly prepared to interview Midge and Joel instead of Rachel and Michael. After 5 minutes, I can accept that, even though it certainly hurts the interview. But when audience (and probably staff) repeatedly try to save the whole evening by relieving the interviewer of her job by moving on to audience questions and she simply goes on interviewing (in her mind) Midge and Joel, it starts to hurt again... In a perfect world, she'd have gotten the many, many, many clues at some point, but sadly we're not in a perfect world. Minute 39: Fiiiiiiiiiiiinally.
Honestly, I remembered the during Midge and Joel's era was the era of neglectful parents. Those children, in the end, become helicopter parents of our era as a reaction to that behavior. I mean, look at "Mad Men."
19:55 comes with the bobbies lol
I gave up, the questions were way to long
I wish the host would talk less. The point of the interview is to hear from the actors, not the moderator.
Interviewer needs to shut up and let the actors speak.
poor actors.. look how embarrassed they are regarding the girl i the chair
Alex, Talk less, listen more, I gave up at 5:42.
Yes! This was more her talking about what she thought or interpreted rather than interviewing them. I got so annoyed.
she talks like my mom when she's drunk, just going on and on, impossible for the other people to get a word in.
G, the pressure on modern parents! Midge is at home with the kids all day. I think it's okay to leave them with the grandparents for an errand or a nightout. That doesn't make Michael or Midge bad parents!
Michael looks high or drunk
this was a poor interview. interviewer makes long winded statement followed by question , then interrupts actors to give her own in depth understanding of the scenes and characters. interviewer speaks 90% of the time. woeful.
I couldn’t make it till the end of the video. Terrible interview
He desperately needs dental work
why because he has normal teeth and not the usual capped Hollywood ones?
Ridiculous
He's absolutely perfect the way he is.
Absolutely not. His smile is adorable
@@suziwest7 Agreed! He's gorgeous the he way he is!
