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.

Hey, I, uh... I'm in a bit of a situation. You think I could stay here for a few days? What are you talking about? Well, it's silly. Me and Ray got into this big fight, and then my mom caught us, and she just started yelling at us. And she threw us out, so... She kind of lost her mind.

Hey, do you know where Ray Bishop is? He's in the back. Come with me. How about next time you put your mask on before we get off the rig? I mean, I'm standing at that front door for a minute - waiting for you. What the hell? - I told him to. Always with the backhanded compliment. Why can't you just, you know, at least say the nice thing and then... - Listen, you should be happy with any compliment. - Okay. - It's constructive criticism. - It's... - It just... It's always bad. - Go ahead. I would respond better to encouragement. I'm just... I encourage you to shut the fuck up.

He's soft. He can't take it. - You're right. - He's an emotional eater. Well, that's the problem with this generation, man. They can't take criticism. - They get, they get all-all upset. - I know. Hey, I'm not a whole generation, all right? I'm just, I'm just a man. A man with feelings. - Oh, my God. - Aw! - Aw! Now you're making me look bad. - You're a man? - Now you're making me look bad.

Oh, Jesus Christ. What are you doing here? Look, uh, I-I don't have anywhere else to go, all right? I'm out of options, so... Why would I care? I'm sorry. Like, uh-uh... Go sleep under a tree. I don't care. Do you have any idea what you took from me? Do you? Huh? You do a 60-minute interview with my ex-wife to find out what kind of guy I am? What do you think she was gonna say? - I don't know. I... - By the way, I'm not a gambler, okay? I day-trade. I don't know the difference. You should've found out before you shot your mouth off. I know you smoke a lot of weed, but you're not dumb. You knew what the fuck you were doing. You went to the person that hates me the most to get the worst review you could possibly get. Why didn't you come down here and ask these guys what they thought of me? Did you ever think of doing that? I'm sorry. You're right. You're right. - Uh, I shouldn't have done... - You're not sorry or you wouldn't have done it. So now what? Now you don't have a place to stay? So now you come down here with your little puppy dog look on your face, and I'm supposed to feel bad? Look, all I know is, if you're not nice to me, then my mom will hate you forever and she'll never forgive you. Really? You're gonna play that card? It's a, it's a pretty good card. It's all I got.
