Summary

We're back! This week, Sam sits down with comedian Brett Gelman. You probably recognize him from films such as The Other Guys and 30 Minutes or Less and television shows like Man Seeking Woman, Another Period, and Fleabag. Back on screen in Lemon, which premieres at Sundance later this month, Brett came on to discuss today's political climate, trying to walk the line between self-awareness and self-criticism, leaving Adult Swim, and his minor feud with Eric Andre. ------------------------------------------------- Talk Easy is sponsored by MUBI.
