Justine Bateman | Club Random with Bill Maher

26 Oct 2026 · 1 h 49 min · Explicit

Justine Bateman and Bill Maher agree Hollywood has a problem. They just don’t agree on what to do about it—and that’s where the fun starts. On Club Random, the Family Ties star, filmmaker, and computer science grad challenges Maher on AI, while he pushes her to admit it can do some good. They get into who’s steering the technology, why studios seem to listen to the loudest voices online, and whether movies can entertain without delivering a lecture. They also get into: old-school pilot season, the peculiar math of fame, streaming’s everything-at-once business model, Las Vegas, and the unexpectedly deep question of why salt and pepper became table staples. #Billmaher #justinebateman #ClubRandom Subscribe to the Club Random YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/clubrandompodcast?sub_confirmation=1 Subscribe to the podcast for free wherever you listen: https://bit.ly/ClubRandom Support our Advertisers: Find your next fall favorites at Quince.

Visit https://podcastchoices.com/adchoices ABOUT CLUB RANDOM In Club Random, Bill Maher unleashes his comedic wit on an unpredictable lineup – from Bill Burr and Jerry Seinfeld to Quentin Tarantino and Neil deGrasse Tyson – digging into everything but politics. It’s Maher in his familiar element: one-on-one vibes, unfiltered laughs, and the kind of freewheeling banter only he can deliver. ABOUT BILL MAHER Bill Maher was the host of “Politically Incorrect” (Comedy Central, ABC) from 1993-2002, and for the last 23 years on HBO’s “Real Time,” Maher’s combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him 41 Emmy nominations. Maher won his first Emmy in 2014 as executive producer for the HBO series, “VICE.” In October of 2008, this same combination was on display in Maher’s uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion, “Religulous.” Maher has written six bestsellers: “True Story,” “Does Anybody Have a Problem with That? Politically Incorrect’s Greatest Hits,” “When You Ride Alone, You Ride with Bin Laden,” “New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer,” “The New New Rules: A Funny Look at How Everybody But Me Has Their Head Up Their Ass", and most recently "What This Comedian Said Will Shock You".
