On the heels of Beef S2, we're revisiting a favorite of ours with actor Oscar Isaac.

We begin with his 2023 Broadway debut in The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window (), the play's timeless writing (), and the legacy of the great Lorraine Hansberry (). Then, Isaac reflects on growing up in the early ‘80s (), his punk-rock salad days in high school () and then Juilliard (), and the inspiration behind his breakout role in Inside Llewyn Davis ().

On the back-half, we discuss grieving through Hamlet (), a guiding piece of poetry from Jeremy Strong (), the pre-show ritual he continues today (), a formative Bible passage (), and how he embraces the present moment ().
