Ghost Dad: Cosby, Poitier, Lil Batman & My Dad

My dad, Barry Corbin, played Bill Cosby’s boss in Sidney Poitier’s Ghost Dad! In this episode I talk to him about being in the great Poitier’s rolodex, why he prefers working with directors who are also actors, how I distracted Cosby on set, what it was like showing up to work with me dressed as Batman, and why Cosby used to be my hero. As always, I also sit down with my friend and co-host Nick Casalini to talk about where this movie fits into my personal story, why the comedy just doesn’t work, how hard it is to watch Cosby now, my dad’s insane accent, and the nature of a bad movie that’s good versus a bad movie that’s bad.
