Bill Hader & Conan Impersonate Jimmy Stewart | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

when I was a kid I watched old movies. almost exclusively and I'm bringing this. up because I want to bring it around to. Barry that's I have to say this is and. not just because we're friends or. anything it is I think the best show on. TV I absolutely love it thank you man. thank you um now keep in mind I don't. see a lot of stuff yeah and he's never. seen this I've never I've never seen. this yeah I don't watch Barry I've never. seen succession yeah exactly no it is uh. I just love what you're doing with this. show and I know that that this season.

you uh directed and I every episode yeah. every episode and so I I kind of just. wanted to go back for a second and think. explore there's you you clearly are such. a classic film buff and it comes through. in your choices as a director and you. take that really seriously and I know. that I think you were telling me once. when you were a kid you'd go over to. sleepovers and people thought oh these. kids are probably watching you know. porno yeah right it's like no you were.

watching A Clockwork Orange yeah right. Taxi Driver yeah I was watching Taxi. Driver yeah studying like and studying. the shots yeah yeah exactly yeah no one. was interested in that or it was like. see how the camera it's like a. subjective camera move. subjective camera move. why the hell you in my house. the father comes in and tidy whities not.

just here subjective camera moves. where the hell you come from. I want you to get out of my house. looks like we gotta say there was a film. buff. it was more nerve-wracking for that no. but it was yeah you would watch that or. watch old movies and it's just what you. were kind of interested in it was you. know what the thing that you can't.

describe the thing that you're attracted. to that is what happens and when I would. watch movies I remember you know my mom. liked actors and things like that and. what always captured me was kind of the. the story or the the way it was shot or. the design of it and uh just recently. you know I I have three daughters and. and uh I showed them a rear window and. it was fascinating because it started. they went yeah this is like old you know. 13 10 and eight they're eight and. they're just this is boring why are we.

watching this please no and then. as it went on they were getting more and. more into it and well and then it gets. to this point which is one of my. favorite Parts in any Hitchcock movie if. you can remember the movie where uh. Grace Kelly goes and gets she goes and. gets in the Raymond Burr's apartment. yeah the Killer's apartment and he comes. home and then there's that great moment. where she finds the wife's ring and she. has the ring and she's she's trying to. show Jimmy Stewart across the street. like I found the ring and then the.

camera pans up and Raymond Burr is seen. that she's doing that and he looks right. in the camera he sees he sees Jimmy. Stewart Jimmy Stewart so he now knows. I'm being watched and I now know what's. happening and when he did that all three. of my daughters just went. and I thought okay this guy made this in. the 50s early 50s and there's just. nothing that you can do whatever you. want in movies whatever but if you have. good storytelling and craftsmanship this.

is what you get it's Timeless you know. and it really made me. that's why I keep going back to those. because it's just like it's just the. bare bones craft of it hey whether. you're stuck in traffic or streaming. your favorite podcasts that's where I. come in it's important to have a network. you can trust wherever you are say it. with me T-Mobile mobile yeah you didn't. really have to say it with me but it is. your network you know I'm excited about.

it's the one the shower movie. [Laughter]. I showed my kids. vertigo with some friends of mine and. they're watching it and at least they. were old enough to appreciate because I. went on a riff at one point about you. know because it's kind of crazy Jimmy. Stewart takes uh takes this kind of.

Dana's bit beautiful blonde woman up and. yeah up in this Tower uh and then you. know she. goes flying out of the Tower and so then. he comes back later on to the same. Mission with uh uh you know Kim Novak. with Kim Novak and I just do him running. into a nun and saying I'm just we're. gonna get one more try here you see. we're sure.

you were here once we're the blonde who. looks exactly she died she died. I think I'm some sort of a creep. and then I do him going after the second. the second one like ah kind of land in. the same spot. I uh the wind must catch oh I got the. Winchester a bit and that's she's.

yelling right where the tiles meet the. eaves yeah and my kids were like. laughing at that and I thought okay at. least we have all right yeah it's a it's. okay it's funny that yeah you try to. watch those old movies and sometimes. they work but then man it sometimes when. they when the my daughter had a big. sleepover with a bunch of friends and. I'm usually downstairs watching an old. movie they're upstairs like you know. whatever singing karaoke and you know. singing carry a pair you know Katy Perry. songs or whatever and then they came.

down I was watching this movie called. Jeopardy. um. with Barbara stanwig. and it's basically a story about these. this this couple and their child go to. Mexico and the the father played with. Barry Sullivan somehow gets stuck under. like a a there's a dilapidated boardwalk. and he gets stuck under like a like a. piece of it like a log and the Tide's. Rising so he's like you need to go get. me help and so she leaves her son there.

she goes out to get help and she finds. Ralph Meeker and she goes and you do and. he is an escape convict right so you're. cutting back to Barry Sullivan the. waters up to his neck yep and he's. talking to his son going like don't know. what he said it's gonna be all right. uh can you just set your pants on fire. son Let's make a beacon and all this and. then she's with this killer and my my. kids uh and then I turn around and like. more of these kids are coming in behind. me and they're watching it okay and.

they're just totally they go how's she. gonna get back to the you know what I. mean and I'm like it's that simple you. know and I came into the edit Bay the. next day of Barry and I was like it's. that it really isn't that hard if you. just can you know tell a good story. right that's what it's gonna be and so I. get that's why I get very inspired by. that stuff.
