Stephen’s J. R. R. Tolkien geekdom pays off. Marion Cotillard discusses ‘Macbeth’. Things That Sound Way More Intriguing When Said in French (with Marion Cotillard). George Saunders discusses his new book, ‘The Very Persistent Gappers of Frip’ and sings ‘Today Is A Beautiful Day, But Not For You’. Joanna Newsom performs "Leaving the City" from her album ‘Divers’. Saunders reads Stephen a bedtime story as the episode’s outro.
