Zoe Saldana
Who is the highest grossing box office star of all time at time of writing? That's right, Zoe Saldana! No, seriously. And whilst you may know her from some of the most beloved, popular movie franchises of all time (and Avatar), The Brothers Wilson drill down into her career when she's not in a popular franchise. So yes, they do cover Avatar, the supremely successful, yet weirdly unloved 3D sci-fi romp from the mind of James Cameron. But, additionally, the episode looks at ill-received Nina Simone biopic Nina, and the surprise Oscar hit Emilia Perez. Are The Brothers emotionally mature enough to talk about a crime musical about a Mexican sex change? What does Ian actually know about Nina Simone? Why does Pandy start laughing hysterically towards the end of the Avatar review? Listen in and find out!

Danny DeVito
The 2026 slate for Hey, an Actor! inevitably starts with a well-known comedic actor of Hollywood pedigree: New Jersey's greatest short man, Danny DeVito. The Brothers Wilson skillfully navigate his Taxi sitcom days by covering his film dedicated to his former co-star, Andy Kaufman, in Man on the Moon, as well as one of his first post-Taxi cinematic supporting roles in Romancing the Stone, and his directorial effort in bringing Roald Dahl's Matilda to the silver screen. Along the way, Pandy introduces a new character, Ian learns a new synonym for "taint," and Jerry Lawler is discussed just enough not to worry the podcast's legal budget. Oh, and there's a song parody that sounds unintentionally Muppet-esque.

John C Reilly
You know how Christmas comes later each yeah? Well, The Brothers Wilson take this concept to the extreme with Hey, An Actor's End of Year 2025 special in mid-February 2026! With customary apologies, the episode contains what you've come to love and expect with outtakes, Christian's Casting Challenge, and the Tomlinson Awards. Beyond that, the hosts also set the episode around the filmography of the multi-faceted John C Reilly. On the docket are the music biopic mockumentary Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and his most famous double team project with Will Ferrell in Stepbrothers. How do the actual brothers feel about these films and life in general? Find out by listening in before normal service resumes!
