Bill Hader & Henry Winkler On 'Barry'

NPR
About this episode
The HBO dark comedy series Barry is about a Marine vet-turned-hit man who starts taking acting classes, but is conflicted between the desire to open up emotionally and the need to hide the truth. We hear from Bill Hader who stars as the hitman, and co-created, co-writes, and directs many episodes. And we hear from Henry Winkler, who co-stars as Barry's narcissistic acting coach. Both actors have won Emmys for their roles, and are nominated again this year.

Film critic Justin Chang reviews Nope, the new sci-fi epic from director Jordan Peele.
