Greta Gerwig

Skip Intro with Krista Smith

Greta Gerwig joins the show to talk about her role in Noah Baumbach's latest film, White Noise. Based on Don DeLillo’s 1985 novel, the film dramatizes an American family's attempts to deal with the mundane conflicts of everyday life while grappling with the universal mysteries of love, death, and the possibility of happiness in an uncertain world.

Gerwig shares her first encounter with the novel, describes how she unexpectedly volunteered herself to play Babette while Baumbach was working on the script, and provides a glimpse inside the film's choreography heavy rehearsals. 

Gerwig also reflects on meeting co-star Adam Driver back when she was a college student in New York City, reveals her goal of continuing to attend dance classes at 80 years old, and explains why getting to take her dog Wizard on a good, long walk is a major win.
