Filmmaker Barry Sonnenfeld talks with Andy Richter about being the best French horn player in the NYC school system, shooting nine feature-length pornos (in nine days), and jumpstarting his cinematography and directing career with Blood Simple. Plus, Barry shares stories from the development of his new book “Barry Sonnenfeld, Call Your Mother”.

Host Andy Richter asks the same three questions to each guest: Where do you come from? Where are you going? What have you learned? These three simple questions, when answered honestly and thoughtfully, are enough to provide a pretty complete picture of who a person is. The answers are what Andy always wants to know about people. This will not be a one-sided process, as Andy won’t shy away from getting personal himself.

Comedy

Comedian and actor Bobby Lee joins Andy Richter to discuss the family wig shop, laughing through trauma, trying crystal meth around 12 years old, why persistence can be more valuable than talent, bombing so hard you cry, how one amazing AA sponsor led him to comedy, why 2024 has been the best year of his life, dinner with Jamie Lee Curtis in Hungary, and much more.
