From WHYY in Philadelphia, I'm Sam Brigger with Fresh Air Weekend. Today, Pico Ayer talks about coming out the other side of the 1990 wildfire that burned down his Santa Barbara home and kept him trapped for three hours until he was rescued. After being rendered homeless, sleeping on a friend's floor, he was told about a Benedictine monastery, where they accept a few guests at a time.
His new memoir is called A Flame. Also, we hear from Roy Wood Jr. His new comedy special, Lonely Flowers, looks at why people are so disconnected.
That's coming up on Fresh Air Weekend.

In Poor Things, Mark Ruffalo plays a character described in the movie as a cad and a rake. His name is Duncan Wedderburn, and he seduces Emma Stone's character, Bella Baxter, to run away from her home and fiancé and have an adventure with him in Lisbon. Let's hear a scene.
In that scene, Duncan Wedderburn is looking at Bella Baxter like a cartoon cat who's trapped the canary. What he doesn't realize is that Bella Baxter is no ordinary young innocent to corrupt. She is in fact the result of a Frankenstein-like experiment by a scientist, played by Willem Dafoe, who reanimated a dead woman's body by replacing her brain with the brain of her unborn baby.
Bella goes through a rapid awakening to the world around her and to her own body, and like an infant who doesn't yet know society's norms, is uninhibited to a degree that both attracts Wedderburn and undoes him.
Mark Ruffalo's performance in Poor Things is hilarious and delicious, and he himself describes it as a big departure from his previous work in movies like Zodiac, Spotlight, Foxcatcher, The Kids Are Alright, You Can Count on Me, and of course, several Marvel movies and TV shows where he plays the Incredible Hulk. Well, Mark Ruffalo, welcome back to Fresh Air.
It's nice to have you. You said you had some trepidation about taking on this role. What were your concerns?
Well, it is such a fun role. Like, once you accepted it, did you have fun doing it?
