Name a more influential filmmaker from the past 30 years than Quentin Tarantino. Go ahead, we'll wait. The one and only auteur is back with his 9th film, another stone cold classic, "Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood", this time teaming up two iconic movie stars for the first time, Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt. Quentin returns to "Happy Sad Confused" to discuss where this story came from, why he's content to soon retire from feature film directing, and discuss what may end up being his last slew of projects--including a new "Kill Bill" story and a "Star Trek" film!

Few filmmakers in recent memory have begun a career with a 1-2 punch as provocative and memorable as Ari Aster.

Ari joins Josh this week to talk about his beginnings, his unique sense of humor, and Albert Brooks? Yeah, you read that right.  Learn more about your ad choices.

It's been five years since Jesse Eisenberg dropped by the podcast so there's a lot of ground to cover in this fun fast paced conversation -- from his new film "The Art of Self-Defense", why it took ten years to get the gang back together for a "Zombieland" sequel, and that time Bob Weinstein threatened his life!
