UNCUT | 15 Minutes of Jason Bateman Being Jason Bateman

About this episode

Jason Bateman joins Kareem Rahma for an unfiltered conversation about fame, personal struggles, and staying grounded.

Actor, director, and podcast host Jason Bateman (Arrested Development, Black Rabbit, SmartLess) boards the subway with Kareem Rahma for an unfiltered conversation about germs, fame, and what it means to stay grounded. From public transit anxiety to his lifelong battle with hand sanitizer, Jason opens up about why he stopped drinking, why he doesn’t dance, and how he’s learned to live with life’s mess—literally and figuratively. SubwayTakes Uncut is like SubwayTakes, but longer, looser, and with more stops, more takes, and more room to go deeper.
