‘Marriage Story’ Destroyed Us. Plus: Noah Baumbach on His Divorce Opus.

Writer-director Noah Baumbach’s latest is one of the year’s best and most emotionally devastating films. The Netflix release stars Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson as a young couple reckoning with the dissolution of their relationship and the separation of their intertwined lives. Sean and Amanda take a long look at this story; how it will make you feel about your marriage; Baumbach’s catalog of erudite, entertaining movies; and the history of divorce movies (1:25). Then, Baumbach joins Sean to talk about the making of Marriage Story, transposing autobiography onto creative work, and the genius of composer Randy Newman (61:15).
