The King of Staten Island
The King of Staten Island is a 2020 American comedy-drama film directed by Judd Apatow, from a screenplay by Apatow, Pete Davidson, and Dave Sirus. It stars Davidson, Marisa Tomei, Bill Burr, Bel Powley, Maude Apatow, and Steve Buscemi, and follows a young man who must get his life together after his mother starts dating a new man who, like his deceased father, is a firefighter. The film was announced as Apatow's next project in early 2019, with the cast joining that April. Filming took place around New York City in June and July. The film has been called a "semi-biographical" take on the life of Davidson, whose father was a New York City firefighter who died in service during the September 11 attacks and who has had his own battles with mental illness. Originally intended to be theatrically released in the United States, the film was released digitally via Premium VOD on June 12, 2020, by Universal Pictures. It received generally positive reviews from critics.

Hello. - Yeah. - That's why you go to the spa. - Yeah. Or the therapist. - Or get your nails done. - Or... Or murder some folks. Hmm? I mean, come on, guys. I-I brought Tara over so that we could get out of this basement. Let's go out. Let's go dancing. - I love dancing. - Let's do something. We don't go out.

There's nothing but douchebags at these clubs. - I love it here, man. It's safe. - Oh, but, come on. God, you just sit here all day, - and then smoke weed and jerk each other off. - Yeah. That sounds amazing. I've never been jerked off by any of my friends. Me, either. I like your tattoos. - I knew you would, right? - Those are... - Oh, my God. That... - No, don't talk to him. - He has, he has chlamydia. - I had. - Oh, my God. - Had chlamydia. - It's curable. - And you introduced me to the girl that gave me chlamydia, so you basically gave me chlamydia. You assisted the chlamydia. He doesn't have insurance. - He can't get the meds. - It's fine. I act... I actually did some of those. You did? You know I got to rep the island. - Hey. - Staten Island. - Wow, Staten. - S.I., you know. - Yeah. - Looks so good. - Thank you. - You have a bunch of tattoos also. - Yeah. - What is that date? - Oh. - Ooh. Uh, that's, uh, the date my Dad died. Oh, my God, your dad died? I'm so sorry. Don't be. It's fine. It's totally cool. - So, what happened? - Ooh! - Okay, you don't need to ask. - No. - No, no, no, no. - Don't ask that. It's kind of inappropriate. Uh, he was a, he was a fireman. So, he died in a fire. Oh, my God.

Hey, honey. I made you an omelet. What are you gonna wear to your sister's graduation party? I was thinking, what about one of your dad's suits? I don't know. I-I don't think I'm really a suit guy, you know? Plus-plus, all those suits are out of style, so... You know, I thought they were back in style. And... can you not smoke pot before the party? Why? Because it smells. You smell bad. And no vaping because they're gonna think it's pot. The uncle is a cop. We don't need that kind of trouble. Fuck that guy. I hate this family. They're so rich and snooty. They've been really nice to Claire. Hey, Mom. You got me the plastic containers. I just need the cardboard boxes I can throw away. But they're so good for storing things. Yeah, but I don't have any storage. My closet's, like, two feet wide. Hey, Claire, do you even want me at your graduation party? Do I want you to go? I don't care. Just... It's weird if you don't go. That wasn't exactly a warm invitation. Yeah, well, it's not the part I'm looking forward to most. But I want you to be there. - She wants you to go. - No, she doesn't. - She just said it. - No, I don't want him to go. He has to go. Just don't sit on the couch in the corner the whole time. - It's weird. - No, I don't see the problem with sitting in the corner, okay? There's some people that go to the party and dance, and there's some people that sit in the corner. I'm the corner guy. Accept your brother. Also, don't try to fuck Layla, okay? She told you she's not interested. What are you talking about? I never tried to hook up with her. She's always trying to fuck me, and I-I have to avoid it at all costs, out of respect for you. I just thought she looked really good in those pants. - Jesus. - Thought that was a nice thing to say. - Just don't. - I didn't know I would get MeToo'd for it. Dad's suits are vacuum-sealed in the garage. - Yeah? - Just pick yourself a nice one. You have to look nice. We're celebrating your sister's achievements. You're gonna miss her when she's gone. Yeah. Celebrate me.
