The moving ship scene inspired the same thing for Dethklok in Metalocalypse. So epic.
ReplyHe is such an interesting guy. Gotta check out this full interview
ReplyOG fans know that this episode was coming.
ReplySuch a great director!!
ReplyWhat a fascinating human being. Thanks Conan.
ReplyPerhaps those penguins were just older ‘Judge Dredd’ style retiree’s, and take ‘The Long Walk’, to ‘bring law to the lawless’ on the cursed earth, and ‘die with their boots on’….er, I mean, ‘….flippers’. 🦾🐧
ReplyHe is one of the most fascinating people in ther world.
ReplyI think he just gave us the plot of Happy Feet 3.
ReplyI love that he gives the disclaimer not to misdirect penguins, as if we might actually have the opportunity to act on that.
ReplyThis guy pointed his main actor with a shotgun during a shoot.
ReplyIn the middle of the jungle.
I just saw Fitzcarraldo, Burden of Dreams, and My Best Fiend a few weeks ago. It made Paul F Tompkins’ impression even funnier for me.
ReplyWerner Herzog expresses his interest in madness, while in another video expressing his intense disdain for domesticated farm poultry because of their intellectual inferiority. Seriously though, this guy has created a compelling body of work
ReplyGosh, this guy puts me to sleep, and I do not mean that as a compliment. I can’t stay focused on any part of this interview for longer than thirty seconds, no exaggeration.
ReplyI love when Conan can make it through an interview without cracking a joke
Replydude I knew there wasn’t going to be any youtube on the podcast before this one, that dude would not stop interrupting lol – i loved listening to this guy however!
Reply“Although metaphor for what, I cannot explain. […] It has carried me that I am just myself, and essentially myself in many situations.” — Werner Herzog
ReplyThe simple act of editing this quote was literally awesome for me.
He has one of he best voices in cinema. 🙂
ReplyHere’s the penguin scene

I can always tell when it is Werner voice acting in an animated show. It’s subtle like Morgan Freeman’s voice but you can tell if you listen closely.
ReplyThe Klaus Kinski stories are amazing
