Episode 216 — Steven Soderbergh Directed This

[JulyDiaz 2797]

Chris Sullivan from Cinemax's 'The Knick' pays a visit to the calming shores of Sklarbro Country for the very first time! Tune in to hear the guys talk about the unorthodox creation of the show, how television is being revolutionized by drama series, and how Sully learned his Irish accent. Plus, Bryant Gumbel calls in, the Sklars give their take on the NFL/Ray Rice debacle, and the crew get into some medicinally inspired Quick Hits.

It was great to hear Chris Sullivan on the Country. I absolutely adore The Knick but I never expected to get an interview with a cast member like him in any sort of long-form fashion, so I greatly enjoyed this episode. Soderbergh makes good fiction and Sullivan is outstanding on the show.

Great episode, guys! Sully was indeed an excellent guest.

"Juanito" isn't equivalent to "little Johnny", because "Johnny" is already the diminutive of John.

 

Anyway, good episode, always love me some Gumbel.
