In this week’s episode of The Envelope video podcast , we sit down with Naomi Watts to discuss paying Babe Paley in “Feud: Capote vs. the Swans” and talk to showrunner Issa López about reviving the “True Detective” brand with “Night Country.” Yvonne Villarreal: Welcome back.
We’re here with another episode of The Envelope podcast. My name is Yvonne Villarreal. Mark Olsen: I’m Mark Olsen.
Shawn Finnie: And my name is Shawn Finnie. You all had two great conversations today. Mark, go first.
Olsen: I talked to you, Naomi Watts, for the show “Feud: Capote vs. the Swans.” Naomi Watts is getting incredible reviews for her performance as Babe Paley.
The show is about the fallout from the publication of Truman Capote’s short story “La Côte Basque, 1965,” which was a thinly veiled portrait of this group of New York City socialites, including Paley. And the show kind of gets into her backstory, her life with her husband. She’s dealing with cancer.
And so really it’s just a sort of fascinating look at society and this very specific kind of moment in time. And yes, Yvonne, I did ask Naomi if she thinks that Truman Capote’s Swans compare to “The Real Housewives.” Villarreal: Capote is our Andy Cohen, you know? Come on.
And thank you for your service, Mark. I really appreciate it. Finnie: Yvonne, who did you speak to? Villarreal: I spoke with Issa Lopez, who conceived this season of “True Detective,” which was titled “Night Country.
” I mean,.
