Steve Cardoza listen to him not answer or show any remorse for what happened on the Twilight Zone set.

Landis is a pos, he responsible for people being killed.

​@@matthewharvey6459it was an accident. how many times does it need to be rehashed

@@timburr4453 As long as it takes until he admits his role in fucking killing three people.

He also was responsible for the gruesome deaths of 2 children but🤷‍♂️

This is one of my favorites as well. A couple of other standouts are Ed O'Neill and Dana Carvey.

Do you prefer the filmmaker and actor episodes? I found it a few days ago and I love the comic and comedian episodes but I'm trying to watch some with people I'm not real familiar with. I'm enjoying this one a lot.

I cringe every fucking time. I love Koechner but that clip is awful. I think that's why Kevin likes it...

I had to stop what I was doing and make a note of that, I'm looking forward to pouring my evening into it.

Saw that...how he's the spine to even mention her name knowing that he's the reason her father just missed the opportunity to really see his daughter shine on the big screen....and more importantly get to re-connect with her....absolutely disgusting

Wow, people really need to connect things that simply have no connection.

@@Valkonnen How so? He mentions the daughter of the man many people believe he killed.

@@pigeonboy7696 Dear deeply-closeted homosexual, lf you're going to do interviews where the interviewer is explicitly not allowed to ask about the death of Vic Morrow, who people think you played a hand in killing, don't bring up his daughter. That's classless.

@@TheKitchenerLeslie oh nice one buddy, a bit outdated using “homosexual” as an insult.

:)

Even by KPCS standards that’s a long intro. No wonder Landis can’t help chiming in before he’s introduced.

And those young kids...

They've been resting in peace for 40 years. Why do ppl still post RIP?

RIP billy Ray valentine

twilight zone assassin

And also a murderer

I remember meeting him at convention years ago and the handler told us all not to mention the film or bring anything about it. I’d say the guidelines were probably the same here

@@aaronfrye9104 he seems reckless.

@@rancosteel He hasn’t killed any more of his actors or kids since then, I think he learned his lesson 😂

@@aaronfrye9104 hmmmmm. Could you at least mention Rod Serling?

@@aaronfrye9104 that and maybe his lawyers begging him not to relive the past.

Thanks for the hearty laugh that woke up the whole hotel. I needed that.

RAIDERS58th i don't blame him!!

And murderer.

@@jamesg8141 he didnt murder anyone

He is a murderer

@@peachpixy9899 Wrong . Not at all John's fault. If anyone is to blame, it's the Helicopter pilot.

@@xtraflo The back rotor of the helicopter failed due to an explosion that was set off. Before that occured, the pilot was told by Landis to get 'closer!, closer!' But sure, it's the pilots fault.

@@timnergaard3831 You think Landis knows anything about flying a Helicopter? If the Pilot suspected danger - it is the Pilot's responsibility to deny the request.

@@xtraflo What? And get fired? It's not like that's even the only thing that went wrong. The kids were snuck unto the set past safety advisors since they're not allowed to be acting at night.

Fully agree, Very interesting interview, I liked his view on today films

Michael Ramdass It would've been 6 hours if Kevin had of got a question in!!

Lol. Probably

Yep and a negligent director who is responsible for 3 deaths, 2 of which were children’s deaths. He’s a GENIUS alright

@@minhtrangpoplawska9174 who the fuck cares.

the people still rehashing it decades later have something wrong with them. they want to destroy Landis for some reason

michael mattice he doesn’t want to talk about the twilight zone !!!!!!!

@@stephensarai1131 He's simply a coward, he never expressed any remorse or was held accountable for what he was responsible for nearly forty years ago.

he was diagnosed with PTSD in 1989 because of his involvement in the ACCIDENT, which is why he can't talk about it. He has remorse. Watch the pre-trial and trial footage. He cries 3 times on film.

you can’t say it’s murder if AT MOST it was involuntary man slaughter. Of course he didn’t purposefully kill people. Not only that, but you and all the other people like to blame John as if the director was the only person on set and was also the person who set off the special effects. Get real, it wasn’t his fault.

@@pigeonboy7696 no. If you look up the whole story, Landis continusly shrugged off safety hazards, and was illegally making the young actor work over child labor laws, and didn't care about the safety of the cast or crew. He might not have intentionally killed those kids, but he's responsible, and never played the price for it

CB96 Yhe only child labor law he broke was that he had the kids too late. Of course it’s not great that he broke that but that’s not really a safety thing, more of something to prevent people from keeping kids from going to school. So that’s kind of out of it. As for the safety hazards, those kinds of hazards have been used in TONS of other movies and haven’t had problems. Not saying it’s a good thing, but he really didn’t do much different from other directors of the time. Plus, a lot of the safety hazards weren’t told to him by people working on the set. He wasn’t perfect in the situation, but I still think it’s more of a freak accident than a manslaughter. It certainly wasn’t murder as a ton of dumbasses seem to think it is. Either way, it was horrible, but personally I don’t think he’s really a killer or fully responsible for their deaths

@@pigeonboy7696 only one here speaking facts.

@@CB-qg3yh Not enough people talk about how Spielberg was a producer for this film and also ignored all of the safety precautions and laws, brushing this incident off as well.

Let The Right One In, swedish vampire movie. They made a remake in the US, I think

That last part about “why did Morrow did what he did” is simple: Morrow signed up for the job he did and I can imagine he could not say no to Landis.

POS KILLED 3 PEOPLE

One of the best at killing actors and children.

@@toulee313 who fucking cares

@@an0970 should be prison.

@@an0970 nobody cares about you

You already knew the answer so why even bother making this comment pretending you didn't. So weird.

Probably also some pressure from Spielberg and company, but I am sure his lawyers are here to whack him down.

That might be true. Landis was acquitted of manslaughter but there was a civil settlement, and Warner Bros may have paid for everybody's silence.

I’m sure that the topic was off limits

That happened 40 years ago today -- July 23, 1982

ew your hero is a criminal walking free ew ew ew

@@areyounotentertained4133 Doesn't even matter to me. Mike gets a pass.

@@areyounotentertained4133 he’s wasn’t found guilty you fucking inbreed therefore not a criminal, you should be witch hunting the guys who are really responsible like the guys who didn’t inform him of all the hazards before the set or the other detectors, now go cry some more little guy.

@@an0970 now say that again without crying

They lied about age to get in the army then

Yeah, he's dismissive of the deaths he was responsible for, but he'll never get over the guilt.

I'd add Dana Carvey and Ed O'Neill but yes, this is definitely top 5

Awesome guy except he is a murderer

Due to years of guilt on his shoulders.

@Joe D My guilt doesn't involve the death of a man and two children.

@Joe D I never said it was.

Well, he is Jewish..

...but fuckers won't leave Landis alone about it. If thats how y'all feel... Are you American ? your country is responsible for more deaths in other countries than any other since WW2... by the reasoning of all the whinjing armchair critics who've probably done fuck all most of their lives, YOU are responsible for all those murders !!!! Can you even rub enough brain cells together to create a big enough spark of thought to work that statement out ? Now, tell me again how Landis is any different to the COUNTLESS other directors who've had deaths on the set ? Ya can't coz yer all knee jerk "i heard this story once n am now (selectively) outraged on someone elses behalf about a situation that does not affect me and has nothing to do with me" fools. Get over yerselves ! 1000's are dying in Gaza.....how bothered are you about that ? do you even KNOW, beyond the zionist led media bullshit what the fuck is going on there ?.... but a director had death on set YEEEEEEEEEEEARS ago n yer still fuckin whining like a bitch !

how very uninteresting and self involved. Project much ? don't forget the tissues... or do you use a fleshlight ? Toodles,

Dave Moss I thought the same thing reading your comment.

I think the reason it was so shocking was because it was caught on film but yeah, many people in films (including animals) have been deceased in the process of countless films.

Twilight Zone was completely different because Landis knew he was putting Morrow and the two kids in danger but thought his artistic integrity mattered more than their lives...he bribed the parents of the children to ignore the safety inspectors because they would have immediately put a stop to it
