Writer and comedian Tim Barnes, (The Tonight Show, Warped!, the YubNub podcast), joins Anne and Ryan for a discussion of BEING THE RICARDOS starring Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem. The 2021 Lucillle Ball/Desi Arnez biopic is unmistakably the work of its writer-director, Aaron Sorkin, who imbues the movie with fast-paced repartee and a dead serious treatment of making comedy. In a slightly less serious conversation, Barnes discusses his childhood fascination with Power Rangers, comedy writing over Zoom, Star Wars as an ever-changing cultural contradiction, and much much more.
BEING THE RICARDOS is available to stream on Amazon Prime.
