Larry Charles: ‘Seinfeld,’ Larry David and ‘Dicks: The Musical’

<p>Even if you don’t know Larry Charles’ name, his work is inescapable. He spent years as a writer on ‘Seinfeld’ before starting his career as a director on shows like ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ and movies like <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sacha-baron-cohen-june-2019/id1456474041?i=1000461203736" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sacha Baron Cohen</a>’s ‘Borat’ and ‘Brüno.’ Now, after swearing off Hollywood, he’s back with what might be his most “transgressive” movie yet, ‘Dicks: The Musical,’ a truly deranged comedy about two “straight” twins who were separated at birth and ultimately fall in love. In this episode, Charles reveals why this was the project that got him to narrative filmmaking and shares stories from the sets of ‘Seinfeld,’ ‘Curb,’ ‘Borat’ and more. Plus, the director opens up more than ever before about the major falling out he had with longtime collaborator Larry David after HBO pulled their documentary project at the very last minute.&nbsp;</p><br><p><a href="https://tickets.dicksthemusical.movie/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Watch ‘Dicks: The Musical’ at home</a></p><br><p>Follow Larry Charles on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/larrycharles" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@larrycharles</a> and Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/larrycharles" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@larrycharles</a></p><p>Follow Matt Wilstein on Threads <a href="https://www.threads.net/@mattwilstein" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mattwilstein</a></p><p>Follow The Last Laugh on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lastlaughpod/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@lastlaughpod</a> and Threads <a href="https://www.threads.net/@lastlaughpod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@lastlaughpod</a></p><br><p>Highlights from this episode and others at <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/franchise/the-last-laugh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Daily Beast</a></p><p><br></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; f
