Christoph Waltz Brought a Chaotic Energy to “Real Time With Bill ... (InsideHook)

Christoph Waltz was the guest on the February 17, 2023 episode of "Real Time With Bill Maher." Waltz and Maher talked moviegoing.

- The bulk of New Rules found Maher wondering when (not if) we’d see a fistfight break out in Congress. “And I think there is a reasoned and constructive attention to not repeating those mistakes in the civil rights arena.” Some of that was due to Waltz’s relatively chaotic presence and some of that was due to the way the two men discussed Waltz’s current project. “I always thought it was redneck food,” he said. (Full disclosure: I’m one of them.) “If you look at the march of civil rights in America, the media has often not been neutral or objective, like we’ve been talking about — it’s been anti-civil rights,” he said. - While Maher is often critical of people in their 20s, his tone on this episode was different and, dare I say, more empathic. “Lincoln and Washington — names that somehow became synonymous with ‘You need a new mattress.’” Maher riffed on Presidents’ Day for a while, with jokes that included references to both George Santos and Amber Heard. “Oh no; I was very successful in my indoctrination program,” Waltz said. “I’m a naturalized citizen,” Waltz said. Later, Waltz explained that it was a “protest beard” due to Lufthansa having lost the part of his luggage that contained his shaving kit. “I would have abused it shamelessly.” At times that focus widened into an exploration of contemporary media writ large, whether it was a discussion of the film industry’s lessons for politicians or an Academy Award winner’s impassioned case for watching movies alongside other people.

Both Waltz and Neill are industry legends and this is the first time these two actors come together in a project. There’s no way to tell when exactly the story is set, because though it appears to be set in the present day, the interiors of J.W.

The story of The Portable Door follows a lowly intern, Paul Carpenter, who ends up with a job at a secretive London firm managed by unconventional employers, including the mysterious CEO and a middle manager.
