We are just over the moon for this week's guest, Anna Maria Horsford. You Might Know Her From Friday, Pose, The Wayans Brothers, The Bold & the Beautiful, Hacks, Minority Report, How High, St. Elmo's Fire, The Fan, The Last O.G. and Amen. Anna Maria just gave it all to us. We talked about her playing Ice Cube's (and Method Man and Redman's) mom in iconic stoner fare, talking shit about The Wayans Brothers before she realized she was a series regular, sinking her teeth into a daytime soap as Hollywood vet, and renegotiating her Amen contract amidst network pushback. But that's not all! We also got into the landmark series Soul; her guest appearance on Pose opposite Janet Hubert and Jackée Harry; and how (why?) Steven Spielberg loves pregnant women. This one was just beyond. RIP to that extra in The Stone Pillow!
