363: Being the Ricardos, with Alison Rosen

Episode 363

26th February 2022

Alison Rosen, of Alison Rosen is Your New Best Friend, joins us to discuss Being the Ricardos, the movie where Aaron Sorkin DEFINITELY understands comedy.

Episode notes

We’ve got a new best friend, and it’s Alison Rosen! She drops by to discuss the Oscar-nominated Being the Ricardos, a movie that expresses Aaron Sorkin’s deep and not at all bizarre understanding of how TV comedy works, and how it’s the most solemn, earth-shaking thing that could ever exist, filled with people staring very seriously at jokes until their genius strikes them and they spew an impeccably-worded monologue about someone slipping on bananas, or whatever.
