This episode was released in March.

Actor-producer-director Griffin Dunne (This Is Us, Dallas Buyers Club, An American Werewolf in London, My Girl), sits on the couch for a deep dive!

You'll hear Griffin and me analyze:

• His fascinating family history, including:
  • His father, writer Dominick Dunne
  • His aunt, writer Joan Didion
  • His uncle, writer John Gregory Dunne
  • His daughter, actor Hannah Dunne
  • His mother, brother, and sister, Dominique Dunne, who was murdered at age 22 by her boyfriend
  • Meeting Janis Joplin at Tom Wolfe's party
  • Parties with George Stevens, Jane Fonda, Billy Wilder, Tuesday Weld, Roddy McDowall + oodles of Hollywood icons

• His friends, like Tony Goldwyn (Scandal, Network) and Charles Wessler (Green Book)
• His "first," "second" and "third" acts
• His early jobs (waiter! camel feeder!)
• His Oscar date (hint: it's Griffin's "BF")
• Being a father
• His troubles in school
• Domestic violence
• Worrying about things we can't control
• This Is Us
• Martin Scorsese

But I don't want to give it all away! 

Just press play.
