Summary

Susan Sarandon, the actor whose five decade career has earned her six Primetime Emmy nominations and an Academy Award for Best Actress, joins the pod to talk about her early days as a God-fearing Catholic kid in New Jersey. She details the unexpected and serendipitous path that led her to acting, and talks about her new film Nonnas, about a man who risks everything to honor his late mother by opening an Italian restaurant with actual nonnas — grandmothers — as the chefs.
