Kevin has crafted another amazing show after the conclusion of his Best Actress series! This pod is fun, informative, and a wonderful ode to his favorite actress. What’s so enjoyable is that each episode has the same level of care and detail, even if the project is less notable in her filmography. Well done!
I’m so happy this show exists to celebrate one of the finest actresses in film herstory
Few filmography podcasts can match the love, care, and consideration of The World According to Glenn. Even when they don’t like the film, they’re never mean and manage to find and discuss the positives. Highly recommend for any actress lover.
After three episodes I have to ask the following: Does the host or guest hosts actually enjoy any of Close’s film work? You wouldn’t know it by listening to this podcast. So overly critical - total turnoff.
