Alia ShawkatEvery podcast appearance, updated as new ones drop

For the penultimate episode of the podcast, Ben and Adam are joined by their penultimate podcast guest: Alia Shawkat, who plays Gwendolyn Y from Branch 5X. They talk about Alia's early career as a child actor on Arrested Development, why she doesn't own a TV, and being type cast as an angry teenager. Plus, they discuss what it was like to be the first ones back on set for season 2 of Severance. Then, they answer some fan hotline questions and open up about high school.

“She’s willing to do whatever it takes in order to not actually face herself,” Alia Shawkat says of her character Dory Previn’s conflicted identity, which fuels the conflict behind much of Search Party. Luckily, in real life, Alia and actress/comedian Mitra Jouhari have a couple of fun-loving, goofy identities, which is evident in this episode of Search Party: The Podcast. Correspondingly, host Bowen Yang uncovers just how easily Mitra could have turned out like her character, Laney, in real life, why we all had “mean best friends” growing up, and the significance of the recurring motif of the mirror on the show (including why it’s so hard for an actress to put on lipstick while pretending to stare into one).
