Andrew Scott/Remembering author Marjane Satrapi

Actor Andrew Scott examines the nuances of his career, specifically his ability to locate vulnerability within complex characters like the priest in *Fleabag* and the antagonist Moriarty in *Sherlock*. He emphasizes the importance of unlearning the "famousness" of iconic roles to achieve authentic, human-centered performances. The episode also honors the legacy of Iranian-French graphic novelist Marjane Satrapi, who used her semi-autobiographical work *Persepolis* to document the realities of life under the Islamic regime and the necessity of personal rebellion. Finally, film critic Justin Chang evaluates Steven Spielberg’s *Disclosure Day*, a science fiction thriller that blends conspiracy-driven intrigue with a critique of human nature. While the film captures the director’s signature sense of wonder, it ultimately struggles with an overly sentimental conclusion that undermines its darker, more compelling themes.
