Richard Linklater on the Making of "Boyhood"
Richard Linklater is the filmmaker behind some of indie film's preeminent classics. His early break throughs, Slacker (1991) and Dazed and Confused (1993), captured and defined our generation more genuinely than had been done before, and perhaps since. Boyhood, out in theaters July 11, is true to Linklater form in its exploration of the nuances of youth and life. It was ambitiously shot over 12 years, following the upbringing of a boy from the age of six until his high school graduation. In this episode of VICE Meets, Reihan Salam and Linklater discuss the inspiration behind the film and his career. It also includes behind-the-scenes footage from throughout the film's production.

Social MediUGH Ep. 2 w/ Matt Ingebretson: ENTITLEMENT Podcast
One major drawback to the social media giants, Facebook and Twitter, is how vulnerable users are to unwanted attention. It’s always a bummer to see Aunt Linda crash a perfectly good comment thread on Facebook, and equally a bummer to get trolled by random followers to a joke you post on Twitter. Not to mention how depressing it is to see that apparently all of your friends are always doing better than you in every aspect of life. Where can we go to feel comfortable on social media? Where do you have the most fun? Which is the biggest necessity? And in the end, is it all just another means for advertisers to pitch products to you? VICE contributors Grant Pardee and Alison Stevenson spoke with Matt Ingebretson, a comedian and writer for The Soup’s web content, to dig deeper.

VICE Meets The Men Behind 'The Interview'
The following interview with the cast and creators of The Interview—Seth Rogen, James Franco, and Evan Goldberg—was conducted by VICE on December 9, two days before the world premiere of the film in Los Angeles. At that time, hackers calling themselves the "Guardians of Peace" had compromised SONY servers and leaked a trove of sensitive emails that exposed and embarrassed senior company officials. Nonetheless, the film was still on track to be released on Christmas Day. On December 16, a new threat from the hackers promised a 9/11-style attack if the film was released as planned, and within hours the major theater chains across the country withdrew their support of the film. With no distribution, SONY announced that they had no plan to release the film. Over the course of the following days, as SONY was pilloried in the media by high profile celebrities and politicians, including President Obama, for having caved in to the hackers, senior company officials were working behind-the-scenes to create an alternative release plan. On December 25, as promised, SONY released The Interview using a coalition of over 300 independent movie theaters across the country. Additionally the film was also released on the film's website "seetheinterview.com" and via a number of other digital platforms including Google Play, YouTube, and XBOX.

Firsts Ep. 2: First Heartbreak, w/Dave Ross: ENTITLEMENT Podcast
We have a “first time” for everything. All the things we do in our lives now, no matter how mundane, had to start somewhere. That’s what “Firsts” is all about. Looking back, and remembering moments in our lives that we often try to forget. In this episode, we talk about our first heartbreak. My co-host, VICE Associate Editor Dave Schilling along with comedian Dave Ross managed to turn sadness into a laughing matter. We delved into the people that broke our fragile souls for the very first time, and even go on some lovely tangents about dating, toddlers, and Donkey Kong Country. Listen to the sheer and utter agony for yourself. Reflect on your own first heartbreak, and thank me later.

The Invention of the Scare Bat: VICE After Dark with John Lurie (Ep. 2)
It's the second episode of VICE After Dark with John Lurie, a live internet radio show hosted by cult icon John Lurie. You know John. He's the guy from Fishing with John, all those Jim Jarmusch movies, the band the Lounge Lizards, and the creator of the fictional musician Marvin Pontiac. John's priority for the last 12 years has been his paintings: http://bit.ly/Lurie-Art Tonight's episode is all about nervousness. Everyone gets nervous. People who say they don't can't be trusted and should have the backs of their necks examined for proof they're a robot. What makes you nervous, and how do you cope? One thing we're not nervous about is our lineup of special guests tonight, because it's unbeatable. Actor, writer, director, and former firefighter Steve Buscemi will be calling in. So will Evan Lurie, the musician/composer/brother of the host.
