Hey guys, Willie Geist here with another episode of the Sunday Sit Down podcast.

My thanks as always for clicking and listening along.

My guest this week is Oscar-nominated Golden Globe winning actress Maggie Gyllenhaal.

She's getting ready for the final season of the Duce, the big HBO series that looks at

the birth of porn in New York City.

I'm just going to come right out and say it, the birth of porn in New York City in the

1970s and now in this new season in the 1980s.

I'm joined as always by the producer of the Sunday Sit Down podcast, another great Maggie,

Maggie Law.

Hey, Willie, how are you?

When I think of Maggie Gyllenhaal, the word cool comes to mind.

She's not in a lot of huge big budget kind of movies that you've heard of if you go down

her list, but she picks all these interesting movies and these interesting parts in TV.

And especially the Duce, which you'll hear in our interview.

She says she believes is her best work ever in the work she's most proud of.

Yeah, I really like that.

I also thought that was interesting.

She was like, well, I would hope almost that your last work is the one that you're most

proud of because it's sort of, you know, all culminating in this.

Yeah, means you're getting better.

She was in the dark night.

Right.
