Fresh Air Weekend highlights some of the best interviews and reviews from past weeks, as well as new program elements specially paced for weekends. Our weekend show emphasizes interviews with writers, filmmakers, actors and musicians, and it often includes excerpts from live in-studio concerts. This week:
'I didn't want it to end.' Why director Todd Phillips came back with another 'Joker': After the 2019 Joker wrapped, Phillips knew he wanted to do more with Batman's archnemesis. Joker: Folie à Deux is a musical sequel, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga.
'WandaVision' spinoff is just as creative and magical as its predecessor: Kathryn Hahn stars as a witch who's lost her powers in Agatha All Along. To regain them, she has to assemble a witches' coven and lead them on a journey down a magical, threatening witches' road.
Uzo Aduba thanks her mom: 'I didn't know how many prayers she sent up to heaven for me': The Orange Is the New Black actor grew up the daughter of Nigerian immigrants in a predominantly white Massachusetts suburb. She looks back on her mother's influence in the memoir, The Road Is Good.
