Journey’s End is fast approaching with Barry, the brilliant series created, interpreted and primarily directed by Bill Hader. This Sunday, April 23, HBO aired the third of eight episodes of Season 4, and it’s now available in France thanks to Prime Video.

But in the end we had a really good time. We had a lot of fun filming each other. .”

“What he does in his scenes is absolutely ridiculous. I still had to stop myself from asking him if I could play in every single one of his movies. But you can take those comments as my official request to him.” If Anthony Kerrigan or Bill Hader appear in Frankenstein, which Guillermo del Toro is developing with Andrew Garfield and Oscar Isaac for Netflix, you’ll know where it came from.
