What John C. Reilly learned from Martin Scorsese (NPR+)

It’s been 20 years since the release of “Talladega Nights,” the Adam McKay-directed comedy starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly as two NASCAR-driving best friends. So in this bonus episode, we’re looking back to Reilly’s Fresh Air interview from the time of the movie’s release in 2006. Reilly spoke about what it really felt like driving a NASCAR car at full speed, about his early career and impressing director Brian De Palma, and his experience working with Martin Scorsese. | Support public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.
