Nick D – Stephen Tobolowsky, Poolman & Seaweed

At the very top of this episode, Nick gives a full review the eagerly awaited prequel, “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” and then he welcomes legendary actor Stephen Tobolowsky (Ned Ryerson from “Groundhog Day”) back to the podcast to chat about his latest role in Chris Pine’s wonderfully weird new movie “Poolman,” in which Tobo appears in drag! Plus, Tobo talks about his terrific history with Annette Bening and Jennifer Jason Leigh, his working relationship with David Byrne, how the Talking Heads video for “Road to Nowhere” was shot in his pool, and how he is responsible for how the band Radiohead got their name, and he talks about how you’re never too old to play Romeo. Then, Esmeralda Leon joins Nick to close out their Food Myths topic with the truth about dull knives, salty potatoes, and skinless chicken. And their taste test through Thailand continues with Esma and Nick snacking on some crunchy seaweed. [EP247]
