Summary

Joaquin Phoenix is widely regarded as one of the best actors of his generation, known for his intense and eccentric on-screen portrayals in period dramas, thrillers, and psychological films. He was raised among siblings who were largely involved in acting, including his late brother, River Phoenix, alongside whom he began his acting career in the 1980s. He made his big-screen debut in SpaceCamp (1986), and he earned his first starring role in the Cold War drama Russkies (1987). Phoenix is known for his commitment to embody each of his roles, particularly in his role as Arthur Fleck in Todd Phillips’ Joker, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor. His filmography includes powerful performances in Gladiator, Her, You Were Never Really Here, Walk the Line–where he won a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Johnny Cash–and most recently, Joker: Folie à Deux. In addition to his acting career, Phoenix is an animal rights activist and has taken up producing films like Gunda, and he continues to leave an indelible mark on the world of cinema. ------ Thank you to the sponsors that fuel our podcast and our team: Squarespace https://squarespace.com/tetra Use code 'TETRA' ------ Vivo Barefoot http://vivobarefoot.com/tetra Use code 'TETRA' ------ LMNT Electrolytes https://drinklmnt.com/tetra Use code 'TETRA' ------ House of Macadamias https://www.houseofmacadamias.com/tetra Use code 'TETRA' ------ Sign up to receive Tetragrammaton Transmissions https://www.tetragrammaton.com/join-newsletter

0:07.0	I do think that in those moments when thought stops and something emerges,
0:27.1	it doesn't invalidate the thought process for me.
0:30.7	I don't feel like, oh, well, that was a waste of time.
0:34.3	I shouldn't have put so much thought into it because now when I'm not thinking
0:37.8	something's emerging I think they are interconnected in some way that is beyond my understanding
0:45.0	at least when something takes over that's good what do you think that might be?
0:57.4	I mean, hopefully it's just part of something that has all...
1:01.0	That's like existed and it's accessible to anyone that maybe is open to it, right?
1:07.7	You're just kind of like riding this wave.
1:10.3	Yeah.
1:12.6	And I don't know precisely what it is or it's important or whether it's important at all or, you know, every once
1:20.6	and a while you have on a project, there's several times about the project where it's like,
1:26.2	it's not there. Yeah, but all around, it's like, it's now or never.
1:29.9	Yeah, yeah.
1:30.6	We're on a clock, and there's a lot of people that are waiting, and they've done their work,
1:37.0	and their work's fucking solid.
1:38.5	Yeah.
1:38.9	And are you going to be solid?
1:41.3	And that's really uncomfortable to kind of look up and have people looking
1:45.8	at you and you realize, I don't have it. It's not there. Yeah. So in that moment, what do you do?
