Episode Synopsis

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, film critic and podcaster Jay Ledbetter joins me to discuss Glenn's kooky performance in Robert Altman's 1999 black comedy Cookie's Fortune! We discuss Glenn's intentionally heightened performance, Altman's non-murder mystery approach, the film's stellar ensemble including Julianne Moore, Charles S. Dutton, and Patricia Neal, and so much more! Support Kevin Jacobsen on Patreon!
