Adam McKay is pretty much known at this point for taking a “Saturday Night Live” approach to larger-scale projects. Everything from “Vice” to “Succession,” and now on “Winning Time,” we see comically over-the-line portrayals of either real people or characters we’re supposed to loosely tie to today’s society.
Within that context, we knew heading into “Winning Time” that we’d see a darker, cartoonish side of everyone associated with the Showtime Lakers, but we weren’t necessarily prepared for what that would actually look or sound like. So this week on “The Anthony Irwin Show,” I welcomed Spencer Garett — who plays Chick Hearn — to discuss some of the show’s and his own choices in portraying the legendary Lakers broadcaster.
