Life is Short with Justin Long

Ben Stiller 😜

LOVED Severance. Great high concept world that always kept you just the right amount of fascinated and confused. Also Adam Scott was perfect.

I’m interested but I don’t have Apple TV. It’s a shame because it seems like they’ve got a lot of great stuff on there but I’m not really in the market for a new streaming bill at the moment lol 

Anybody else watching Severance? Just knowing the concept from the first episode was enough to get me hooked. Then I find out Ben Stiller directed the series? 

His style of directing is so minimalist, considered and intentional, nothing I would have imagined from his onscreen personality. Not even 1 crazy Dutch angle!

Anyway, watch Severance if you can.

New episodes come out every Tuesday for free, with ad-free episodes available for Wondery+ subscribers.Is it just me or is time flying by? How do we make the most out of our short time here on Earth? That’s what we’re here to find out. I’m Justin Long and I’ve been an actor for most of my life, so I’m used to getting inside the heads of the characters I play. But now that I’m getting older (I’m 43 now, yikes), I want to peek inside the heads of real people to learn how they find meaning in life. I’m also very curious what their favorite snack food is, and what emoji they use most often — ya know, the REALLY important stuff. Every episode I’ll get personal with all kinds of people, from actors to musicians to deep thinkers who fascinate me. My brother Christian is on hand each episode to keep me honest, and occasionally remind me about some of the embarrassing things I’ve done over the years. Join us, or if you have more important things to do, that’s okay too — life is short!
