Jason Keller—creator and showrunner of Stick, the new Apple TV+ comedy starring Owen Wilson—joins Schmear to talk about his latest project, why golf is the perfect sport for television, and what makes a truly great dad movie.
You may know Keller as the Oscar-nominated screenwriter of Ford v Ferrari, but Stick marks a shift into heartfelt, sharply funny territory with a distinctly Midwestern tone. In this conversation, we discuss working with Owen Wilson and what drew him to the role, the chemistry between Wilson and co-stars Peter Dager, Judy Greer, and Marc Maron, why Stick is set in Indiana, and how it captures a specific slice of American life.
They finish with a lightning round of rapid-fire questions, including what makes a good dad movie—and Jason’s favorite sports movie of all time.
