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 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.
