About this episode

What does the title of “highest-grossing actor of all time” actually mean for a Hollywood star? For Scarlett Johansson, who currently holds that position, it means directing her first feature film without any pressure of achieving box office success. In her directorial debut, “Eleanor The Great,” there’s not an explosion or sex scene in sight, and the lead role is played by 95-year-old actor June Squibb. During this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, Scarlett dropped by to talk about her new film, working with the late Robert Redford, and why she doesn't and has never used social media. If you like this conversation, check out Tom’s conversation with June Squibb from 2024.
