🐺 Bob Odenkirk, Jeffrey Wright, and Dire Wolves - Oh My!
We're got exclusive late night insights from Bob Odenkirk, some Spike Lee thoughts from Jeffrey Wright, and an update on Colossal Biosciences' dire wolves.
Friday Edition August 15, 2025
Everybody’s got an opinion, but when an actor talks about a part of the entertainment industry that has touched them in some way beyond what they’re usually recognized for, it piques our attention. For example, people sometimes forget that Bob Odenkirk got his start writing comedy for SNL and Conan O’Brien, so if he’s got something to say about the current state of late night talk shows in the wake of Stephen Colbert’s ouster, his insight is definitely worth something.
There’s a similar weighty resonance when Jeffrey Wright shares his thoughts on Spike Lee. The famed director’s cultural influence has special meaning to Wright beyond their current collaboration on Highest 2 Lowest, and the history between the two as told through the actor’s exclusive interview is enlightening to say the least. Knowing about the journey that brought two respected creators together makes it all that much more special.
