Episode Description from the Publisher

It's time to explore the World According to Glenn. I'm Kevin Jacobsen, Glenn Close is my favorite actress, and this show is all about exploring the career of one of the finest actors of her generation. Each episode, I'm joined by a guest as we dive into one of Glenn's movies, TV shows, or stage productions, going chronologically through her career, discussing her performance, and assessing the project itself. This week, writer Ben Miller returns to discuss Glenn's performances in the 2017 dysfunctional family comedies The Wilde Wedding and Father Figures! We talk about how she and John Malkovich are the saving graces of The Wilde Wedding, her bringing an emotional truth to Father Figures, her various reunions with former costars in both movies, and so much more!
