I guess my taste isn’t discerning enough, as he sounds enough like Herzog to sell me on it.

It may not sound like Werner but Mike Mulligan And His Steam Shovel will never quite ring the same to me now. I think I need a drink after hearing that…

Funny, but I would have loved this SO much more if it actually sounded more like Werner Herzog. A for effort, but whoever’s imitating him just doesn’t come close. (I’m a tough sell, I guess, having obsessively watched ever single documentary the man’s ever made multiple times.) I swear, that man has the most singularly delicious and oddly comforting voice I’ve ever heard. Remember when Joaquin Phoenix got in that car wreck and Herzog helped rescue him?

“I remember this knocking on the passenger window. There was this German voice saying, ‘Just relax.’ There’s the airbag, I can’t see and I’m saying, ‘I’m fine. I am relaxed. Finally, I rolled down the window and this head pops inside. And he said, ‘No, you’re not.’

“And suddenly I said to myself, ‘That’s Werner Herzog!’ There’s something so calming and beautiful about Werner Herzog’s voice. I felt completely fine and safe. I climbed out. I got out of the car and I said, ‘Thank you,’ and he was gone.”

This was right around the time the man got shot in the leg during an interview and decided to keep the tape rolling. Fuckin’ A, I love him. I wish he WOULD offer audiobooks of children’s stories!

Hilarious, but not Werner Herzog
