Damian and Anne are delighted to welcome esteemed theatre, film, and TV actress, Robin Weigert to the show this week. You Might Know Her From Deadwood, Big Little Lies, Concussion, Sons of Anarchy, My One and Only, Angels in America, and Noises Off. Robin talks to us about returning to HBO's Deadwood for the upcoming film and how she embraced both historic fact and tall tale to create her very own Calamity Jane. She breaks down playing poker with Jennifer Tilly and working opposite Nicole Kidman (and her red hair!) on the second season of Big Little Lies.
