This week, host Tavi Gevinson talks to actress, painter, and producer Alia Shawkat about ‘Search Party,’ ‘Arrested Development,’ and her new film ‘Paint It Black.’ She also answers questions from listeners for our recurring segment, “Ask a Grown.”

Plus, Rookie contributor Dylan Rupert brings us a Starter Pack: recovering from an existential crisis.

Each week on the Rookie Podcast, we’ll interview people we admire: artists, writers, musicians, filmmakers, activists. We’ll also spotlight the work of Rookie readers (now listeners!) and contributors. We’ll discuss creativity, pop culture, feminism, activism, self-care, love, friendship, and more.
