In ALL SQUARE John (Michael Kelly) is a small town bookie having a hard time collecting on outstanding debts. After a one night stand with an ex-girlfriend, he strikes up an unlikely friendship with her 12-year old son, Brian, and develops a plan to recoup the money owed to him by taking bets on Brian’s Youth League Baseball games.  The film also stars Josh Lucas, Tom Everett Scott, and Yeardley Smith.  I had Yeardley on the show to discuss her work on ALL SQUARE as both a producer and star, we also discuss her role as Lisa Simpson in THE SIMPSONS, and her work in films like MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE, THE LEGEND OF BILLIE JEAN, and AS GOOD AS IT GETS.  ALL SQUARE will be having its premiere at this years SXSW, for dates and showtimes go to https://schedule.sxsw.com/2018/films/119595
