Show Notes

Ashlie Atkinson is getting kudos for playing Connie Kendrickson, the motherly yet evil KKK wife, in Spike Lee's "Blackkklansman." We talk about the unique prep work that went into inhabiting her and the tools she used to stay present inside such a sick character. We also chat about her approach to comedy, particularly in the Ingrid Jungermann web series "F to 7th," and working with Craig Zobel in both "Compliance" (a favorite of mine, as may listeners know) and now the brand new CBS All Access show "One Dollar."
