Interview: Jerrod Carmichael (Rothaniel), Taika Waititi (Our Flag Means Death), Ron Howard (We Feed People)

Three conversations with giants in their respective fields. Carmichael discusses the seismic impact of his comedy special Rothaniel and how he’s spending Pride month; Waititi explains why Our Flag Means Death rekindled his love of acting, and what he hopes comes next in season 2; and Howard discusses his pivot into documentary filmmaking— and how his approach to making movies lines up with what’s in his dreams.  Rothaniel and Our Flag Means Death are both available to stream on HBO Max; We Feed People is on Disney+.
