  • Summary

  • Since the turn of the century, actor Josh Brolin has had quite a run. From No Country for Old Men and Hail Caesar from the Coen Brothers, to Inherent Vice from Paul Thomas Anderson, to Sicario and the Dune films from Denis Villeneuve.

    His new memoir, From Under the Truck, contains stories about the life in between. We discuss his upbringing bouncing from Paso Robles to Santa Barbara (4:30), the influence of his mother (10:00), and his entry to writing (18:00). Then, Brolin reflects on his vivid early adulthood in the 80s (24:00), the power of a story (28:00), and what actor Anthony Hopkins illuminated about sobriety (30:00).

    On the back-half, we get into his collaborations with the Coen Brothers (34:00), his challenging relationship to drinking (44:00), and why finally, after three decades of playing characters on screen, it was time to fill in some of the backstory (1:00:00).
