Becky Ann Baker has played moms—on popular shows like Girls, Ted Lasso and Freaks and Geeks. But pigeonholing her is foolish given her theatrical training and can-do approach to life and career (alongside her equally talented husband, Dylan Baker). She's worked for everyone from Sam Raimi to Steven Spielberg to You can see her right now with Rob Huebel in All Hapy Families on VOD, but if you just wait a bit she'll turn up in another high-profile movie or TV show. What a delight for Leonard and Jessie to spend time in her company.

Rob Huebel can currently be seen in the comedy feature film All Happy Families (costarring Josh Radnor and Becky Ann Baker) on VOD, but he is never out of sight for long. An improv comedian and actor par excellence who honed his chops at Upright Citizens Brigade, he frequently works with such pals as Rob Riggle, Paul Scheer, and Will Arnett. His movie credits include I Love You, Man, The Descendants and Keanu and his TV resume is packed with shows like Transparent, Arrested Development and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Leonard and Jessie found Rob to be whip-smart, warm and funny…in short, a perfect guest.  

A routine that never changes can get old. So this week on Selected Shorts, host Meg Wolitzer presents three stories that shake up domestic life, teaching the characters something new about themselves and their circumstances. In “Scaffolding Man” by Jenny Allen, performed by Patricia Kalember, a woman in a drab marriage is intrigued by a “hot” stranger. In "Myrna's Dad" by Cyn Vargas, a father's changing occupations hide a family secret. The reader is Krystina Alabado. And in “Overtime” by Hilma Wolitzer (Meg's mom), read by Becky Ann Baker, a happy couple gets a jolt when the man's ex moves into their apartment. After the story, Meg interviews Hilma about what gave her the idea and her writing in general.

Sadly, the case closes on this Noirvember. But, we have one more bullet in the chamber and that bullet has A Simple Plan written all over it. In the shadows of '98, a celluloid masterpiece emerged, swathed in the seductive embrace of noir's enigma and ethical quandaries. A Simple Plan transcended mere cinema; it plunged deep into the murky abyss of the human psyche.Director Sam Raimi, a maestro of the visual canvas, conjures a hauntingly picturesque scene. The snow-laden backdrop becomes a mirror, reflecting the characters' ever-distorting moral compasses. Bill Paxton, Billy Bob Thornton, and Bridget Fonda, leading players in this grim narrative, find themselves ensnared in a moral maze where trust and fidelity are precious commodities.Step into the dimly lit sanctum as we welcome listener, Patrick Smith, to our rendezvous. Together, we'll unravel the mystery etched into the celluloid fabric of this noir opus. Let's dissect Raimi's directorial finesse, savor Billy Bob Thornton's Academy Award nominated performance, and unearth the thematic elements that etch A Simple Plan into the pantheon of timeless film noir.In the world of noir, every tale is a moral labyrinth, and A Simple Plan stands as our guiding beacon through the murky waters of fate.A Simple Plan is directed by Sam Raimi and stars Billy Bob Thorton, Bill Paxton, Bridget Fonda, Brent Briscoe, Gary Cole, Chelcie Ross and Becky Ann Baker.

Host Meg Wolitzer presents stories by the incomparable Margaret Atwood, drawn from our archives and a live performance evening hosted by the author. “There Was Once” is a brief satire about the art of writing and the importance of free speech. It's performed by René Auberjonois, Zach Grenier, and Jane Kaczmarek. “Widows,” performed by Ellen Burstyn, is a delicate and ironic tale in which a recently widowed woman becomes accustomed to her new role. And Atwood is in full dystopian throttle in “Freeforall” where reproductive rights have become a matter of life and death. The reader is Becky Ann Baker. Both “Widows” and “Freeforall” have been published in Atwood's new collection Old Babes in the Wood: Stories. Portions of Atwood's onstage talk with fellow writer A.M. Homes are also featured.

Host Meg Wolitzer presents stories by Kurt Vonnegut in which the Slaughterhouse Five author somehow managed to make a bleak dystopia funny and a high school band teacher a hero. The stories explore the darkly absurd side he's known for—“Harrison Bergeron” performed by Becky Ann Baker––and a softer, touching side in “The Kid Nobody Could Handle” performed by Dylan Baker. The show features commentary from The Daily Show's Jordan Klepper and backstage interviews with the Bakers, a husband-and-wife duo. 

A routine that never changes can get old. So this week on Selected Shorts, host Meg Wolitzer presents three stories that shake up domestic life, teaching the characters something new about themselves and their circumstances.   In “Scaffolding Man,” by Jenny Allen, performed by Patricia Kalember, a woman in a drab marriage is intrigued by a “hot” stranger.  In "Myrna's Dad," by Cyn Vargas, a father's changing occupations hide a family secret.  The reader is Krystina Alabado.   And in “Overtime,” by Hilma Wolitzer (Meg's mom), read by Becky Ann Baker, a happy couple gets a jolt when the man's ex moves into their apartment.  After the story, Meg interviews Hilma about what gave her the idea and her writing in general.

Tune in as Dr. Terry Dornak (Hello Wonderful Podcast) stops by the show to chat with Arthur about Netflix's The Half of it, the 2020 coming-of-age movie that follows introverted teenager Ellie Chu as she pens love letters on behalf of inarticulate jock Paul Munsky and sends them off to his crush Aster Flores. The catch: Ellie herself has caught feelings for Aster as well. On top of breaking down this queer and contemporary spin on Cyrano de Bergerac, Arthur and Terry address the usage of media like films and podcasts to process life experiences, the conservative attitudes that drive bigotry and ignorance in small-town communities, and the smell of freshly baked flour. Written and directed by Alice Wu (Saving Face), The Half of It stars Leah Lewis, Daniel Diemer, Alexxis Lemire, Collin Chou, Wolfgang Novogratz, Becky Ann Baker, Catherine Curtin, and Enrique Murciano.

On the next Selected Shorts, it's all about the Slaughterhouse Five author who somehow managed to make a bleak dystopia funny, and a high school band teacher a hero. With host Meg Wolitzer we celebrate 100 years of Vonnegut with stories that explore the darkly absurd side he's known for—“Harrison Bergeron” performed by Becky Ann Baker--and a softer, touching side in “The Kid Nobody Could Handle,” performed by Dylan Baker.

Not many of us can brag they've been murdered on screen by both Sir Ben Kingsley and Bill Paxton; Becky Ann Baker can, in the respective thrillers The Confession and A Simple Plan.  “I always say we got into this business to die, because it's the most fun you can have,” she once said. Her  long list of movie, TV, and theater credits also includes iconic shows such as Freaks & Geeks and the HBO's millennial-skewering comedy, Girls, for which she was nominated for an Emmy. Although she has built a reputation as one of our most accomplished character actors in shows as varied as Big Little Lies, The Good Wife, and Blacklist, Baker began her career primarily in musicals, as a singer who could dance. It took ten years of open casting calls and auditions before she was able to sign with an agent. “I wasn't your thin little blonde,” she has said. “I was a second banana character person. I don't think anybody knew what to do with me, so it took a while.” 

Guest host Cynthia Nixon presents stories by two masters of the short-story form.  Humor, humanity, and fantasy all combine in four tales of things gone wrong. In “Fly Already” by Etgar Keret, performed by Liev Schreiber, a widower and his small son watch a drama unfold. In “Where Are You?” by Joyce Carol Oates, performed by Dianna Agron, a demanding husband pushes his wife to the limit. In “One Gram Short” by Etgar Keret, performed by Ira Glass, a stoner makes a really bad deal; and Oates' “Assassin” combines tongue-in-cheek horror and political satire.  Becky Ann Baker is the reader.

Hello! This episode's How Was Your Week is wonderful. First of all, PATTON OSWALT, one of our favorite guests and friends, is back! This is always a treat. This week, Patton is here to discuss his Webbys hosting gig and how Internet Commenters have evolved from standard trolldom into conversational tangent-bringers, the importance of being comfortable with silences, and then--BAM! BOOM!--discusses two great Robin Williams movies at length: THE BIRDCAGE and WORLD'S GREATEST DAD. Then, RETTA, who plays Donna on Parks & Recreation and is a hilarious standup, is here to talk to Julie about sexting, GIRLS, 9/11, French Guys, and why we are both worried about Ellis not returning to SMASH. Also! Julie takes a trip to the Genius Bar and survives to tell the tale, her cat explores the "Say it with Urine" style of communication that is so very popular in that particular community, Anthony Bourdain says some crazy shit, Becky Ann Baker is awarded a well-deserved honor, and library water fountains are reconsidered in the bottled water age. Hooray for this show!
