How 'Barry' Features Others, What's To Like About 'Love & Death,' and Outrageousness in 'Somebody Somewhere'

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>We begin with a few brief thoughts on the writers' strike and what that may mean for television: just look at past strikes (1:36). Then, it's the fourth episode of the fourth and final season of <em>Barry</em>, which allows for a lot of its characters not only to carry the episode but also tell large parts of their story (6:36).</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>A listener gets a shoutout and thanks (17:50) before we give the hosts their hellos (18:27). After a break: a discussion on what's working very well for <em>Love & Death</em> on HBO Max (20:07). Finally, we get incredibly tickled on the outrageousness of the second episode of this season of <em>Somebody Somewhere</em> -- unless you watched, it may not be what you expect (35:17).</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>A transcript of the episode appears on the second page of <em>The Alabama Take</em> site for this episode.</p> <p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><em>The Alabama Take</em> brings you an entire family of podcasts and writings -- all with no ads!
