Summary

We’re joined by filmmakers Harrison Fishman & Dylan Redford to discuss their new docuseries “Neighbors”. The series chronicles neighbor disputes throughout the USA, and offers a near-psychedlic glimpse into how private property induces unbearable levels of psychosis in a variety of everyday Americans. We discuss how interpersonal surveillance, social media reinforcement, conspiratorial paranoia, completely useless civil institutions, bad pet ownership, guns Guns GUNS, and good old fashioned being a jackass render the very idea of living next to someone a psychic and emotional battlefield in this country, and how Harrison and Dylan went about capturing it on camera. Neighbors airs Fridays on HBO and is streaming now on HBOmax.

what is the show about and what are you guys portraying here?

0:55.5

Well, I mean, in just very basic terms, it's a, it's a show about neighbor disputes throughout

1:00.8

the United States.

1:02.4

And it's, you know, each episode has two different neighbor disputes that we follow in real

1:07.2

time as they escalate, essentially.

1:11.7

And I think we sort of use the neighbor dispute as sort of a window into both the kind

1:18.7

of like wild lives of our subjects, but also, you know, a window into sort of an American

1:23.8

psychology or sort of an American kind of moment and zeitgeist.

1:32.2

And there's a lot of reasons why we chose neighbor disputes to do that.

1:36.2

But that was our goal.

1:38.1

I'm just going to give you, like, if I had to describe this show to someone who is not
