About this episode

Kyra Sedgwick (Space Oddity) and Justin talk about how she got into acting to impress her theatre-loving mom, how she first met Kevin Bacon when she was only 12 years old, only to later work with him and fall in love with him as an adult. Plus, Kyra remembers traversing the mean streets of New York City as a kid and they discuss her directorial debut, “Space Oddity.”
