McShane calls the Atlanta episode showcasing Brian Tyree Henry a "half an hour of pure delight" on the My Favorite Episode with Michael Schneider podcast. “You never know what’s coming next," he says. "It’s a very fabulously entertaining show. I picked that one because he just made me laugh continuously.” McShane also talked about the upcoming Deadwood movie, noting that Al Swearengen is "not exactly what he used to be" in the film, set 10 years after the series finale, due to all the drinking. “It’s a love letter to the old Deadwood,” he says. “I think they found the connecting tissue by making it statehood day. There’s a reason a lot of the characters come back.”
