Olivia Wilde | Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Video Overview & Insights

Olivia Wilde (The Invite, Booksmart, and Don’t Worry Darling) is a director, actor, and filmmaker. Olivia joins Armchair Expert to discuss being raised by war-correspondent parents, growing up too fast on the Georgetown campus, and finding her footing at boarding school. Olivia and Dax talk about learning the wrong lessons in LA audition rooms, leaving The OC to chase movies, and making the jump from directing music videos to Booksmart. Olivia explains why the most personal work is usually the best work, how parenting teaches patience and humility, and why we need to relearn the art of disagreement.

I truly didn’t enter this biased in any way (familiar with the work, haven’t followed any interviews). Yet my general impression is that she has no real opinions of her own - she adjusts her answers in real time to sound more like what she imagines as “fitting” or expected by the room/audience. Reads it well, tho.

20 minutes in, she’s already almost insulting housewives. At least minutes later she gets to acknowledge that white people can also carry “the gene of oppression” - there’s apparently an exemption granted to the Irish (which as a Pole I’m envying actually).

I had no idea Olivia was so multifaceted. I must admit, this is the first time I've watched a whole podcast of yours. I've only seen clips. Will start watching full shows from now on.

I raised an eyebrow and maybe even felt a little sorry for Olivia when Dax alluded to her short-lived relationship with Harry Styles when he asked her about her comfortability when shooting a sex scene for Don't Worry, Darling.

About the Show:

In the "content inferno" segment what film are they talking about? They never say the title? OMG please help me

— @NomadicDuckMan

Hi, I’m Dax Shepard, and I love talking to people. I am endlessly fascinated by the messiness of being human, and I find people who are vulnerable and honest about their struggles and shortcomings to be incredibly sexy. I invite you to join me as I explore other people’s stories. We will celebrate, above all, the challenges and setbacks that ultimately lead to growth and betterment. What qualifies me for such an endeavor? More than a decade of sobriety, a degree in Anthropology and four years of improv training. I will attempt to discover human “truths” without any laboratory work, clinical trials or data collection. I will be, in the great tradition of 16th-century scientists, an Armchair Expert.

Watch Armchair Expert every MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, and FRIDAY here on Youtube!

Crushing again like it's 2005

Amazing interview! The vibe back and forth is so energetic and fantastic!

She`s right, Cockburn is pronounced Co-burn here in the UK. Also, her father Andrew was not some sort of Irish pauper, he attended Oxford and came from a lineage that included Sir George Cockburn.

12:46 Maybe if his mother wasn’t part of the Hollyweird cabal telling everyone that victimhood raises social status.
14:39 Exactly. Right there. We are literally experiencing the unequivocally most prosperous era of recorded human civilization and this idiot says, “Is it?!”. Then wonders why her kid won’t smile for her cheesed up pics that she wants everyone to believe is candid. 🖕🖕
18:29 Nonsense. You don’t respect your target if you sneak cameras to record them without their knowledge and permission.
19:09 There it is again! Her mother literally did exactly what she wanted to do, but her idiot daughter thinks she was somehow oppressed by the “patriarchy”. What an absolutely sickening worldview. 🖕🖕
33:23 Keep voting blue!
38:44 Just you and your looney liberal pals.
53:28 Watch how quickly she deflects women’s use of their sexuality to get into spaces that they haven’t earned and put it on men who lean into it. What a broken perspective.
1:06:08 “Cowboys and Aliens” is wildly underrated. I think if they pulled a “From Dusk ‘til Dawn” and used a deliberately vague title and better marketing, it could have been the blockbuster it was meant to be. If you haven’t seen it, move it to the top of your list.
1:09:36 Hateful shrew
1:16:37 It’s worth repeating….
hateful shrew.

Third favorite episode ❤

— @concessa_

1:25:32 - Sexuality on Screen

1:30:39 - The Content Inferno

one of my fav episodes so far..
I wish i you had had her a little longer. she’s very interesting. just the parents dynamic alone..and the trip to Japan with her kid…
I definitely want to go see this movie - my fav thing in life -> co-creating as a process, and the trust & joy of that process.
thanks so much for this.
i hope you have Olivia again. ;)

Olivia Wilde is wild, she should have just stuck with series instead of movies and directing.

Olivia. The unassuming journalist comment about mom. I'm certain you have read Joan Didion. In Slouching she says how tiny and quiet she was. So everybody let her in.

Don't appropriate your sister's trauma. ( Min 9:00) My sister does that. She wasn't there. But it became her story, her trauma. I guess it is a Narcissistic attention-getting thing?

I recognize that Dax is trying to be cool & professional. But, we can see your eyes. I am a 60 year old heterosexual woman, and I can't stop staring at that perfection of beauty, either. That is a perfect face. That's it. Picasso would have a field day. Dora Maar got nothing on this.

Fun fact. Edward Albee dined & stayed at my father's house in Upsate NY. In the middle of the night, Albee woke & hit on my father's student , with whom my father was having an affair. The dinner & overnight was at the residence of my father & his long term partner (turned out, of 25 years) also a professor, but of Art. My father told me, his daughter. I lived there at the time but was away.
I thought Dax would appreciate this seedy anecdote. Oh. All males in this story.

"What is most personal is most universal" Carl Roger's Humanist psychologist quote is, I believe, what Oliva is referencing.

I found the discussion around Lake Bell dating ugly guys interesting. Didn't Dax got called ugly multiple times by media for dating someone way more attractive than him called Kristen Bell? I thought it was the sort of comments he found hurtful.

Ah. You got Richard Burton. ( WAVW.) You don't take your eyes off of him. I know, Elizabeth Taylor. Sandy Dennis is the star here.
My syllabus teaching college composition Oral Component was Richard Burton monologe in Cleopatra. (And Martin Luther King Jr. Montgomery Alabama, last speech.)
With this kind of playwright, you don't need rooms or set changes. You need actors.
I feel weirdly grateful that this artform has surfaced in my lifetime. The amazing playwrights scripts turned into films.✍️📚🎬📽

Sam Shepherd: Fool for Love. Honestly, the film with Sam, Kim Basinger, and Harry Dean Stanton, was as good. Line by line, because of course, Sam was right there. ( There is a film of the play, True West, with Gary Sinise John Milkovach. But no film of. We are so ripe for one.)
Other one comes to mind is of course StreetCar. Having read all of Tennessee Williams plays, and so many made into films, this is one does justice to the screenplay. Tennessee opening in screenplay ( which of course I have read) describes this seething carnality implied sexuality--I don't remember the ( rather poetic) phrasing, but it is as if he were describing the young Brando, instead of the other way around.
If more plays were adapted for screen, I would not question: "why am I subscribing to this shit (Netflix etc)? I never watch these films all the way through!"
I read l plays.

I like this podcast, however try to chill out on the “robotic” and over exaggerated responses.
The two hosts just can’t help but have automated replies. The “ooohs, the “ahhhs”, the “wows”the “yeahs”. “Oh this is the part where I laugh now”
Genuine authenticity, less performative will make me tune in a lot more. I mean, I appreciate how positive and nice you guys are to the guests, it’s just the over doing it is killin me right now.
Like, don’t be scared of 2 seconds dead air. It’s human, conversational. Ok that’s all out of me.

I hope people listen to this that have a certain notion of who she is. She is very interesting and I walked away from this interview liking her.

I love Olivia Wilde and her work and I find it very inspiring to hear about her trajectory. I like these conversations here too and the stances everyone takes. The only thing that I critisise is that they talk about their children so much. I think that parents should keep them away from publicity. It is their privacy too. I know you are proud and have fun and enjoy your kids, but it is really weird to hear you compare the relationship with your children to your partners. It is just my two cents, I know I would not have liked my mom to talk about her fun and how much she enjoyed me and tell the world about me being affectionate with her when I was a teen. your kids tell you they love you, it is for you only, youre not to boost it into the world.

44:04 I have an 8 year old daughter and 3 year old son, and i agree, but I also have always tried to make the distinction between I am asking or telling. Telling you to go brush your teeth. Or, do you want French toast or pancakes with your eggs.

Great interview but why don't you include the fact check after the interview.
