HBO Max published this video item, entitled “Alia Shawkat and Mitra Jouhari in “Identity” | Search Party: The Podcast | HBO Max” – below is their description.
“The whole crux of the show is her searching for her identity…desperately wanting to find something that makes sense,” says actress Alia Shawkat when discussing the motives of her lead character, Dory Sief. “She’s willing to do whatever it takes in order to not actually face herself,” she explains on this episode of Search Party: The Podcast. This denial of identity lies at the core of Search Party’s main conflict, as Dory’s sense of self shifts over the course of the first three seasons, and self-preservation drives her personality’s dark metamorphosis. But don’t worry, it’s not all cerebral here: Host Bowen Yang also finds out just how easily comedian Mitra Jouhari could have turned out like her character, Laney, in real life; why we all had “mean best friends” growing up; and the significance of the recurring motif of the mirror on the show (including why it’s so hard for an actress to put on lipstick while pretending to stare into one).
