Ben Stiller: 'Severance,' but Real Life

from The Bulwark Podcast · host The Bulwark

With Elon's 20-something operatives running the Treasury Department, it's hard not to feel that we've been severed from reality and a better Earth someplace else. Ben Stiller talks with Tim about metaphysics, avoiding politics in public, and advocating for the millions of people displaced around the world. Plus, the origin story of Severance, Adam Scott, John Turturro, and whether the show is a metaphor for life itself. Also, Tim gives a pop quiz, Ben shares his love for the Knicks, and both ponder why there aren't good comedies anymore. Ben Stiller joins Tim Miller.show notes:Watch SeveranceThe Albert Brooks film, 'Real Life.'Trailer for "Real Life'Ben's New York Times interviewVideo of one of Musk's engineers/operatives
