Today we take on the seminal task of dissecting the life and lovers of Natalie Portman. We take our listeners on a journey, from the moment Natalie was discovered in a pizza parlor as a child through her rise to fame as the esteemed Hollywood actress and Oscar winner we know her as today. More interestingly, however, we pull out a magnifying glass on the slew of relationships and pen pals that have left their mark on Natalie's beguiling heart. This includes (but is not limited to) her torrid romance with Gael Garcia Bernal that ended in her flying to Argentina to confront him and his mistress when she got word that he was cheating with a co-star. We dig into the cringe-y emails between Natalie and Jonathan Safran Foer, who was so taken with their Gmail thread that he LEFT HIS WIFE FOR NATALIE, mistakingly assuming that he was participating in a requited love. Friends, Natalie's life is one of earnest intelligence and sexual fervor, and we lead you through it with no detail spared. So this Wednesday, we invite you to pour a cocktail, get cozy, and buckle in for THE LIFE AND LOVERS OF NATALIE PORTMAN.
