Club Random with Bill Maher
David Mamet | Club Random

If you must. I loved it. Henry Johnson. Thank you. Yeah, well, of course, the first thing I thought was, you know, you have said, I think, now don't throw another 10 grand at me if I get the quote wrong, but I think you were even here maybe talking about it, that movies almost don't need dialogue. Yeah, do that one. And yet, this movie is all dialogue. Well, what am I going to do, you know?

But I thought it was delicious. It's three scenes, really, and Henry Johnson is in all of them, and he's with a different person in each of the other ones. I don't want to give too much away. The first is someone at a firm he was working out with, and then he's in prison. And that's the one with Shia LaBeouf, who has never been better than in that role. He's amazing. And then the prison guard.

And, you know, to me, the through line, not just through there, but a lot of your work is you do feel like people are always conning people. I mean, a lot of your work is about con artists and different ways of conning. Aren't we? Yeah. Yes, I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm saying that to me is like the through line.

If I had to think of like so many of the David Mamet stuff that I love is like you just getting into that subject of people conning each other in all the different ways we do it. I mean, some of them are direct cons, the Spanish prisoner and things that are like classic cons that are people actually doing as a con. Those are fun. And then it's just the more subtle ways.
