He is so hot as Blackbeard, and Spanish Jackie is such a bomb character.
Dude Blackbeard is an insane thirst trap
@@ellespencer8563 Taika in leather HELLO
I'm so so happy to hear Leslie Jones let Spanish Jackie get to her head cuz she DESERVES 20 HUSBANDS 😂😂😂😂 Srsly tho, I'm happy to see her love the show and the character as much as us.😊
That character is so tailor made for Leslie. It’s brilliant!
Her enthusiasm is so warm and happy, I love her!
If you have not watched Our Flag Means Death, you are seriously missing out so much. It is so so funny.
BUT be prepared for trauma and 🏴☠️🏴☠️ get some soup ready 🥣 🥣🥣🥣 oranges for season one and soup season two 😅
What is it on?

"spot the hetero" is so real. also leslie saying "blackbeard and rhys" neither leslie jones nor spanish jackie will ever remember stede's name ksdfjlsjd
Genital Pirate Steve!
I was waiting for her to say Steve 🤣
“Spot the hetero” my man gets it
I love them together so much, and it’s so fun when Taika is around people he genuinely enjoys interacting with and can just be his ridiculous adorable self.
Leslie and Taika's happiness in this interview is so contagious and nice. I was honestly feeling a little down today but this, seeing 2 people genuinely enjoy each other, put a smile on my face.
The thirst for Taika "I have heart eyes" Waititi is too real. Props to Leslie for saying out loud what we've all been thinking; this cat is up there with all the fine wines and cheese, daring to get better with age. (As a biracial pacific islander myself, I know how fine we are!) Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go take a cold shower before I erupt from all this heat.
WORD!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s so fun to see Taika and Leslie talking about #OurFlagMeansDeath! Hopefully we get to see them on screen together again in OFMD Season 3!
All I wanted was these two to talk about Our Flag Means Death.
I LOVE Taika Waititi’s humor. I was already a huge fan of What We Do In The Shadows but OFMD is in my top shows of all time!!! Don’t even get me started on Taika as Blackbeard 🥵🔥
Con O'Neill deserves an Emmy for this 2nd season. Our Flag Means Death is such a great show!
And a Grammy for that performance of la vie en rose
FINALLY someone lets him talk about Our Flag Means Death! They have such great chemistry and both love the show so much, it warms my heart.🥰🥰🥰
Bless you Leslie and Taika for spreading the OFMD love! It is not talked about enough and did not get as much promotion because of the strike! Now is the time to let the cast hype it up!
ofmd has been spoken of freely...only the states went on strike, the other 95% of the planet carried on...cor blimey, we did it before you and will do it without you...planet earth; doing it w/o the states...
I love Taika. He's the type of person that makes my day better. If more people were like him, the world would be a better place.
10/10 interview, thank you for putting these two people together in a room again and letting us watch the magic!
Now, these two are like the realization of my fever dream; I could watch them for hours on end!
loved to hear them talk about Blackbeard and Spanish Jackie - can't wait wait to see a third season of Our Flag Means Death!
FINALLY THEY GET TO TALK ABOUT OFMD! brilliant show, go watch it if you haven't already. taika is exquisite as ed and leslie as spanish jackie is an ICON 🔥 i'm so glad they got the chance to talk about the show because everyone in the cast seems to love it SO much. here's to many more interviews and, most importantly, a third season!! #renewasacrew
Leslie! Spanish Jackie is everything. So awesome to see Leslie and Taika talk about OFMD!!!
I'm Samoan and I can't wait to watch this movie. Alofa Taika!!!
It’s so great to see them talk about Our Flag Means Death and see that they love it as much as the fans do. It’s such an amazing, hilarious show.
Our Flag Means Death is what we needed on TV.
What a great interview, Leslie is so funny and charming and Taika was gorgeous and funny. Leslie should do this as much as she wants she’s killing it!
I love Taika Waititi! One of my favorite entertainers. I'm seriously obsessed with Our Flag Means Death 😂🎉 The show lives rent free in my head
I was one of Spanish Jackie's husband's in the new season of Our Flag Means Death. Got to do a very small scene with Taika
Our Flag Means Death is my favorite show on TV right now, it's so wholesome and adorable
He saw our tattoo! (I have a doggie with Blackbeard's face on my arm)
I love that we all agree that the proper pronunciation of Bronson Pinchot is Balki
Im so happt to finallt see a Taika interview that mentions our flag means death. This show is so wonderful and there's so little interviews/promotions on it. And Leslie's character is so COOL and fun I'm so glad to hear about them talk about it 🥰
One of my absolute favorite directors 🥰
I love how leslie loves everything about the show she is one of us 😅
noooooo! this was way too short! i needed like twenty more minutes of blackbeard/spanish jackie shenanigans! 😭
OFMD is the best show on television!!! I'm actually super excited about "Next Goal Wins". It looks so fun and sweet.
OK so this is like my fever dream come true ❤ I could watch these two for hours!!
I need a 2h long version of this interview
I have loved every Taika has made/performed in! I am seeing his new movie today! I loved their conversation!
Saw ‘Next Goal Wins’ already - so much fun! Thanks, Taika! Looking forward to more from you! 💕
More Leslie please 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
What an incredibly fun interview. They are delightful together.
The fact that Taika is so silly just makes him so much hotter.
Fantastic interview, so wonderful to see them talk st length about their genuine love for the best show on TV, Our Flag Means Death!
Go watch every tv show Taika is involved in, comedy gold.
They vibe so well
" ... I would like to say it's just me ..." lol too funny, that one slipped through undetected
So much love for OFMD between those two. They just got the questions about "Next Goal Wins" (which I can't wait to watch) out of the way so they can talk about OFMD. Great interview, brings a smile to my face. Also, Leslie, how does it feel to be so right and correct 6:56 ?
The love I have for this man 🥹🥹🥹
I loved this interview so much 😂❤
Taika is hilarious in our flag. HILARIOUS 😂
Next Goal Wins looks like it's going to be a fun one. It looks quite evocative of his earlier work like Boy. I think Jojo Rabbit and Thor: Ragnarok were fantastic movies, but I REALLY adore the more quaint local films he made before he blew up big overseas.
Jojo Rabbit.
I recommend watching our flag means death
Boy was just the best movie ever
I have grown to love this guy. Thank you and for the others making OMFD!
My favorite Director of all time, and I love both Thor movies. People seem to forget how much trouble Covid was during all of that.
COVID has nothing to do with Thor 4 being the garbage it was. 💀
Thor 3 was one of the best in the MCU and Thor 4 is one of the worst.
I recommend watching our flag means death
Leslie, you need to spend more time in New Zealand, we have many fine people.
I love this Spanish Jackiesque ensemble Leslie has on!
I love how passionate Taika and Leslie are about the show, and they’re both sooo funny! I also loved when Taika shouted out the fan art of the show it was so wholesome❤ I NEED this show to have a season 3!!❤
I feel like these two are friends... Love Leslie, Love Taika!
Adore Taika. Just adore him.
Aaaaaahh!!! What a great interview !! All the our flag means death looooove!!!!
Love that show What We Do In the Shadows and Thor Ragnarok is such a fun movie!
Hunt for the Wilderpeople and Boy two more Taika awesome films
I recommend watching our flag means death
LESLIE JONES SHOULD BE THE PERMANENT HOST OF THE DAILY SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!
I get you, Taika. I've caught my reflection and thought, "What's up, girl?" Ha ha ha
TALK IT THROUGH AS A CREW!! 😂❤
Love his directing
TAIKA ❤️
This made my day, I'm so happy to Leslie and Taika talking 🎉🎉🎉❤
The group of New Zealanders he came up with are overwhelmingly talented!!! Jemaine, Bret and Rhys make magic! What We Do In The Shadows deserved Golden Globes mentioning!!
I don’t always watch the interviews but if Taika and Leslie were to just sit in silence for 8 minutes I would be there for it.
I love him so much!!! He is so hilarious and charming 😭💕
Emotional intelligence is vital for mental health. I love how "our flag means death" vocalizes the emotional health component of life
My girl said Balky!!! IYKYK
Taika is doing great for film creating. Reservation dogs, our flag, various marvel things. I hope he never stops creating.
This is everything I hoped it would be ❤❤❤
Thank you Leslie for that last question :D
I need to see his reaction to finding out he’s in the top ten dilfs of the year
Taika makes me so happy I'm a New Zealander. Funny, smart, unhinged, witty, clever fellow.
Same👍😊have a great Christmas mate🇳🇿💯respect
Taika is my world. Oh how i Love him. He could laugh me to sleep anytime. 😉
Taika Waititi is one Magnificent Maori !!!
I ❤ Taika!! 😊
Please have Leslie back more often! She's amazing!
Taika is the best. ❤
The fan girl interview I didn’t know I needed. 😂😂❤
Can i say that i just live him?I LOVE HIM!!!! ....thank you
Love Leslie Jones as an interviewer! 😁💯👌
Leslie Jones Looks AWESOME in this interview, and Yes Our Flag Means Death people. What We Do In The Shadows *chefs kiss* also Reservation Dogs!
That show (OFMD) is soooooo incredible!!! It has everything 🥰- love, violence, soup, a nose jar ❤❤❤❤😅😅😅
Eccentricity personified. 😉👍
Taika , beautiful being 👌
Can y’all really not tell he’s hammered in all of these interviews
Awesome director!!!
Man, what a director. He really is this generation's Uwe Boll.
I love him so much!
I love that he is still seemingly normal, comparatively.
love you both! go team!
I'd pay money to know who that "coffee not hot enough" impression was based on
Taika Waititi is the sexiest man alive. I said it.
I was going to make a comment about his jacket being 4 sizes too big, but he said it's not his. 😆😂🤣
LESLIE WE NEVER DOUBTED YOU ❤😳🥵
I love them 😂❤ so I need more !
Being from Hawaii it’s great to hear him pronounce SAM oh a correctly! Not Sah MO ah! Fa’a’fete! (Thank you in Samoan).
Fa’afetai!
Can’t wait to see all of it.
