Annette Bening

Annette Bening joins the show to talk about her performance in Nyad.

Bening recounts her initial reaction to the script, describes her experience meeting and working with Jodie Foster (who plays Diana's best friend and coach Bonnie Stoll), shares what it was like to be directed by Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi, and digs into the intense physical challenge that the film presented.  She also breaks down a few of the roles that had a major impact on her, reflects on the current state of the industry, and shares her favorite ways to spend her free time.  Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts.

In this interview, she reflects on her career arc, discusses the genius that is her instagram, shares how she’s stayed grounded amid paparazzi madness, and digs into her passion for causes and projects far beyond Hollywood (including Save the Children and her organic food company Once Upon a Farm).

Dania Ramirez

Dania Ramirez joins the show to talk about the recent release of the second season of Sweet Tooth – a post-apocalyptic series in which Ramirez stars as Aimee Eden, a former therapist who is fiercely dedicated to protecting her daughter and other “hybrid” children who are highly vulnerable to the outside world. Ramirez reflects on the unique experience of shooting the show's first season in New Zealand during the beginning of the pandemic, gets candid about the challenges of being away from her family for work, and talks about bringing her kids and husband along for the shooting of Sweet Tooth's second season. Dania also digs into her experience immigrating from the Dominican Republic to New York City at 10 years old, explains how her sister helped her land the role of Callisto in X-Men: The Last Stand, reflects on her experience working on The Sopranos, and shares how she carved her own path through Hollywood.
