It's time to explore the World According to Glenn. I'm Kevin Jacobsen, Glenn Close is my favorite actress, and this show is all about exploring the career of one of the finest actors of her generation. Each episode, I'm joined by a guest as we dive into one of Glenn's movies, TV shows, or stage productions, going chronologically through her career, discussing her performance, and assessing the project itself.

This week, Gold Derby contributing writer Charlie Bright joins me to dive into Glenn's celebrated voice performance as Homer Simpson's mother on The Simpsons! We discuss her work in the 1995 episode "Mother Simpson" and why it's regarded as one of the show's best installments, and so much more!
