Over at MySpace TV, comedian Bill Hader interviews Ed Brubaker on his critically praised series Criminal. The photo-driven interview is funny at first, then slides into nigh-hilarious, then back into pretty darn funny… and it’s chock full of name-dropping fun! Best line? Brubaker: "You DO know those are two different series, right?" Ahh, welcome to…
