Jeff Goldblum's career is a unique reflection of our times: He's a character actor who eschews attention outside of his films, yet he's more popular than ever, thanks to a quality that can only be described as memeability. He's also ageless, timeless, and stylish, and prefers magic and jazz to acting, all of which just makes him seem … perpetually cool, whether you spot in him a nearly wordless role in a 1970s film or in blockbusters like Jurassic Park and Independence Day. On this episode, we dissect the magic that is Jeff Goldblum with Travis M. Andrews, author of Because He's Jeff Goldblum: The Movies, Memes, and Meaning of Hollywood's Most Enigmatic Actor. We talk about why he and Keanu make such good memes, how he invented the sexy scientist role in Jurassic Park, and why The Fly is so disgusting.

Andrews writes for the Washington Post’s Style section, where he covers the Internet, pop culture, and the ways we live now. Recently, he wrote about Adam Sandler, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Yang.
