Welcome back to The Black List Table Reads with Franklin Leonard. Popular demand called for it, and we listened: Each earmovie is now a single episode. Today, we return to our first ever earmovie – the obscenely funny BALLS OUT, written by Malcolm Spellman (Empire) and Tim Talbott (Stanford Prison Experiment) – in one bingeable package. That’s right, the full earmovie. Narrated by Craig Mazin, it stars Paul Scheer, Jason Mantzoukas, Lauren Lapkus, Matt Walsh, Eugene Cordero, Casey Wilson, Chris Cox, and Joe Wengert.
