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, we're covering the 1989 adoption drama Immediate Family! Andrew Carden of The Awards Connection and AwardsWatch joins me to discuss Glenn choosing this small-scale drama as a cooldown from Fatal Attraction and Dangerous Liaisons, how Mary Stuart Masterson is the film's clear MVP, and how the film fits in with the other baby boom movies of the late-'80s.

This week, we're covering the 1988 psychological period drama Dangerous Liaisons! Oscar Wild cohost and AwardsWatch associate editor Sophia Ciminello joins me to discuss one of Glenn's most iconic performances, the choice to have every actor speak in their natural accent, the most wickedly delicious lines in the film, and how it all relates to our love of reality competition shows.

This week, we're covering the 1988 animated sci-fi fantasy Light Years! Sporcle curator Christof joins me to discuss Glenn's first-ever voice performance in an animated film, how the movie transformed from its origins as Gandahar in France, whether the plot is meant to be incomprehensible, and why the poster is false advertising.
