Summary
We don’t often feature voice performances on this podcast, but there’s a reason why we made an exception for Lupita Nyong’o, who does exceptional work at the center of the critically acclaimed animated feature The Wild Robot.

Plus, Nyong’o plays Proust Questionnaire Roulette, revealing her fictional hero and what she considers the most overrated virtue.
