Ryan Coogler | Good Hang with Amy Poehler

Thanks, Amy, for connecting Chadwick Boseman’s memory with something comedic. Usually interviewers recall Chadwick and invoke painful recollections for Ryan, oftentimes reducing him to tears. What a smart and thoughtful way to remember someone who’s passed, not with tears or trauma, but with laughter. You do your homework and it shows. Congrats on the Golden Globe.

"I'm not a big soda person, but when they started to let you mix and match the drinks... I got involved with that." LOL I love the way he says things

I’ve never seen him more comfortable during an interview! Amy is that girl ❤

Saying that he’s agnostic when asked if he’s a raiders fan 😂 this man knows how to survive the Bay!

"When they started letting you mix and match the drinks, I got involved with that". Iconic, and so relatable.

Ryan Coogler is a treasure, both as a filmmaker and a person. I hope he never stops making movies.

Knowing THEE Ryan Coogler also stayed to watch more than one movie in the theaters makes me feel way less guilty about it lol

He is so purely Ryan Coogler. He does not try to be anyone else. I love this and I instantly respect him.

"My mom was my movie buddy." Man, that sentence means everything. Same Ryan, same. 💙

Ryan Coogler was a finance major, a chemistry major, a promising football player and is now a famous Hollywood director and writer. What an interesting and talented person.
