Today we've got CHRIS STUCKMANN (writer/director of SHELBY OAKS and longtime YouTube movie guy) talking about one of the few on-screen representations of the Jehovah's Witness world he left behind: 2022's YOU CAN LIVE FOREVER. And it's a queer teen romance, you guys! maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

Latest feeling seen is with filmmaker Chris Stuckmann, who brought a movie for discussion I’d never heard of: YOU CAN LIVE FOREVER, about a gay teen girl struggling in the Jehovah Witness community. We talk about living for movies and for yourself and it’s lovely! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

We better get leaks AS SOON as this wraps!

For Jolenta Greenberg, the first time through high school felt almost as awkward as Jerri Blank's return there in STRANGERS WITH CANDY. Except Amy Sedaris made it all seem hilariously...bearable. All this, plus RHONY reminiscences and the scoop on self-help books! maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

It is a hallowed day on Feeling Seen. For we are discussing… STRANGERS WITH CANDY! Find out how Jolenta Greenberg connects with THE Jerri Blank! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

If there is one Oscar nominee I will beg you to see, it’s the feature doc MR. NOBODY AGAINST PUTIN. It’s told from the perspective of a school teacher in a small Ural Mountains town as he, the schools documentarian, captures the tightening authoritarian grip following Russia’s invasion into Ukraine.

Very exciting to talk about Kristen Stewart's new-to-theaters directorial debut with @roxanegay.bsky.social and @alainmartin.bsky.social. We're talking THE CHRONOLOGY OF WATER, plus a discussion of memoir movies we love and ones we'd like to see get made. #filmsky maximumfun.org/episodes/max...

SUPPORT INDEPENDENT CINEMA! is a really rallying cry for us at Feeling Seen, and OBEX is as indie as things get. Saw it at last years Sundance and finally got to chat with Albert Birney about his inspirations and to my great delight: Marcel the Shell!!

Looking for some creative inspiration? @albertbirney.bsky.social’s stunningly creative, super handmade film OBEX is in theaters now, & he told @jorcru.bsky.social about filmmaking with friends for the joy of it. All through the lens of MARCEL THE SHELL WITH SHOES ON! maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

Yes, please believe that Jordan asked Tim Blake Nelson about his teen high school adaptation of Othello, 2001’s ‘O,’ starring Mekhi Phifer, Julia Stiles, and Josh Hartnett. And believe that he told her all about how he came to direct it — and how it almost didn’t get released!

Extremely grateful to the extraordinary Tim Blake Nelson for sitting down with @jorcru.bsky.social to talk about his career as an actor, director, & writer, from Juilliard (where he was studying when he first saw Jim Jarmusch’s DOWN BY LAW) to THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE, & beyond! #filmsky

We're still getting settled but wanted to give you a look at our new studio. Thanks to everyone who participated in our moving sale (closes today, so last chance: maximumfun.org/movingday)! We're so excited to have this nice space and as you can hear, hosts who record here are pumped about it, too!

A rewatch is in order

Marching orders: 1) watch HAG (tubitv.com/movies/10004...) 2) watch HOW TO BE SINGLE 3) marvel at the surprising points of comparison 4) Listen to HAG's director, Sam Wineman, on this week's FEELING SEEN! (step 4 can also become step 1, we won't tell) maximumfun.org/episodes/fee... #filmsky

It is a most beautiful day on @feelingseen.bsky.social because I have my dear friend Sam Wineman talking about both his new movie HAG, and also about the movie that is core to his being: HOW TO BE SINGLE podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

Badge told us a lot of great stories in this episode: about being in a table read with Meryl Streep in his 20s. About working at a Pizza Hut in Utah. And this might be the best of them all: how he almost got fired from the movie SHAME before filming even started. #filmsky youtu.be/3R4Ya5h_wv8?...

Continuing into our 200s with major star-power…JAMES BADGE DALE gives us an acting masterclass packed-full of amazing stories, and the inspiration he felt watching the free performances in Scorsese’s MEAN STREETS. You gotta listen! #filmsky maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

Team I need you to drop everyone and listen to THE James Badge Dale on @feelingseen.bsky.social right now! An actor’s actor. A talent. A storyteller. A cool ass guy. Talking to him about MEAN STREETS and KING IVORY and so much more! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

Thank you for your help, Felipe! And for your honorary toilet paper dispensing. For folks who want to achieve this status (well, close to it--all the toilet stuff got claimed so fast, so you won't be on that level), there are still a few items left to be sponsored: maxfunstore.com/collections/...

Looking for a great episode of FEELING SEEN to listen to? There are now 200 to choose from! Like this delightful & insightful conversation with amazing actor Shea Whigham, (which has come up often ever since)? He felt seen by Robert Duvall in TENDER MERCIES. #filmsky maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

In continuing celebration of 200 episodes...have you heard our very first episode, with @emilystjams.bsky.social, from 2021? Not only does it set the tone for the whole show going forward, but it was nominated for an LA Press Club award! bit.ly/4iJK8hW

Reminder: Thomasin McKenzie was on Feeling Seen and she’s an absolute gem podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

In honor of 200 episodes, we're sharing some of our favorites. Since guest Thomasin McKenzie, shouted it out on Ep 200, why not give a listen to @jorcru and her interview BFF Allison Williams talking about Mary Poppins and Maria Von Trapp? youtu.be/WFwlwRSYxMo?...

BIG day for us! Thomasin McKenzie is our guest for our **200th Episode!!** 🎈🍾🎊 Thomasin is feeling seen by Julie Delpy in BEFORE SUNRISE & feeling intimidated by what she called "the best interview she's ever heard," Jordan's Allison Williams ep from July 😊❤️ maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

I cannot stress enough the level of DELIGHT in our 200th episode of @feelingseen.bsky.social where Thomasin McKenzie tells me about her heart’s desire to be miniature sized, her obsession with mini figures, and also her love of BEFORE SUNSET! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

Today we reached the 200 episode threshold of FEELING SEEN! And what better way to mark the occasion than our latest interview, which features Thomasin McKenzie calling the Allison Williams episode the best interview she’s ever heard. Thomasin, A TALENT WHO KNOWS podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

It may be Thanksgiving, but we're here for you with a great new episode - @weegee.bsky.social, author of BREAKING THE FRAME: CONVERSATIONS WITH WOMEN FILMMAKERS, shares his unexpected affinity with Ana Garcia, the lead character of 2002's REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES! maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

Did you know that @alexwinter.com has been acting, writing, & directing since he was a literal kid? Now he's got a new movie, a hit Broadway show, and a 4k remaster of his 1993 film FREAKED. All this and how none other than Buster Keaton showed him the way forward... maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

You know who is a fucking excellent conversationalist? Alex Winter! He’s my latest guest on @feelingseen.bsky.social and it was an amazing treat to talk about how inspired his career has been by Buster Keaton! Stick around for talk of FREAKED, making docs & more! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

A new favorite episode! Barbara Muschietti is the producer behind the modern IT movies and the new tv series, MAMA, and more. She and @jorcru.bsky.social are talking about the Hollywood shuffle through the lens of WORKING GIRL & Altman’s THE PLAYER! maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

We've got VIOLENT ENDS writer/director @johnmichaelpowell.bsky.social on the show, talking about his thrilling new movie, and a film from another Southern director -- David Gordon Green's 2003 Sundance premier, ALL THE REAL GIRLS. #filmsky maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

Great new ep with Tina Romero this week, director and co-writer of QUEENS OF THE DEAD! If you've ever wondered about the Venn diagram of Zombie movies, Peter Pan, & queer liberation, this one's for you (And you're def wondering about it now! Gotcha! 😜) #filmsky maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

Incredibly excited that we landed Katy O’Brien for Feeling Seen. And it was tremendous to talk with her about parasocial ownership of your sexuality when you’re a queer actor, looking to gay to be cast as gay, and the bad bitch Ridley Scott movie G.I. JANE!

Sigourney in WORKING GIRL one of the all time not girls girl anti feminist bitches. A work of art. Anyone have best recs for more top shelf women undermining women villain roles??

Big day on FEELING SEEN, as @jorcru.bsky.social got the chance to talk with @thekatyo.bsky.social (who has literally 5 movies coming out this year!). Better yet that the feeling movie she brought to discuss is…G.I. JANE! maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

We've got a great conversation today with MISADVENTURES OF BUCKY & BEENE writer/director/producer Lisa M. Thomas today. She's feeling seen by sweet Ludovic in '97's 'Ma Vie En Rose'. It's a fun conversation about the importance of fun (honest) queer voices. #filmsky maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

This is why we do the show! It's fascinating and fun to hear from these creatives about all the ways seeing themselves (or struggling to see themselves) on screen made a difference in their lives and art; but the real good stuff is giving listeners the chance to remember how art has that power ❤️

We're tenderly embracing Horror Cinema Season with this week's episode -- Mercedes Bryce Morgan, director of the new BONE LAKE, joins Jordan to talk about feeling seen by Carrie White from (you guessed it) 1976's CARRIE. #filmsky maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

Just trust us and listen to this engrossing conversation with RED SONJA director M.J. Bassett about seeing herself in all kinds of shapeshifting characters -- and how her comfort level with that identification changed after coming out as trans. maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

Had a blast talking with Jordan Crucchiola on Feeling Seen podcast. Here is evidence…

Very cool to talk to director @alicewu.bsky.social on the occasion of her SAVING FACE becoming a part of the Criterion Collection! Alice is feeling seen by two very different complicated women: Frances from FRANCES HA and Jane from BROADCAST NEWS. maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

ANDRÉ HOLLAND is our guest this week! André feels seen by his own breakout character, Algernon Edwards, from THE KNICK (one of @jorcru.bsky.social's favorites!). Plus, he tells us about his hopes (& plans!) for a Season 3, and about his new film LOVE, BROOKLYN. ❤️ maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

This week on the show, Jordan’s talking with director, writer, and actor Macon Blair! His new film is THE TOXIC AVENGER, and he’s feeling seen by freshman Mitch Kramer from DAZED AND CONFUSED. You know we always find a throughline…listen and find out what! maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

Big episode this week, as @jorcru.bsky.social talks horror heroines with Madison Iseman, star of the new WITCHBOARD. Madison's feeling seen by one of the greatest to ever do it (and at a personal cost): Shelley Duvall as Wendy in THE SHINING. We get into all of it: maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

Such an honor to be joined by Richard Lorber, of @kinolorber.com! Richard tells @jorcru.bsky.social how he's always related to dogs (as a kid, he even aspired to BE a dog like Rin Tin Tin!) and how he sniffs out the finest international arthouse cinema. #filmsky maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

Jordan has a great, deep chat this week with James DeMonaco, best known as the man behind THE PURGE franchise. His latest film, THE HOME is in theaters now. He shares how Rocky Balboa opened his eyes to a world of possibility...and how he copes with the news cycle. maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

You guys, DANIELLE DEADWYLER came on the podcast, and it was magical 🤩. She and Jordan talk about 40 ACRES (in theaters and now available to rent at home), and how Ofelia in PAN'S LABYRINTH and Wong Kar-Wai's IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE make her feel seen. #filmsky maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

Action star Marko Zaror shares stories of his personal life philosophy, acting journey, and his lifelong fascination with Bruce Lee on this week's episode, about '80s cult classic NO RETREAT NO SURRENDER, and Zaror's latest film, DIABLO. #filmsky maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...

So thrilled to have had the chance to speak to trailblazer/iconoclast Bruce LaBruce (who Letterboxd called "The Godfather of Queer") for this week's episode! He brought us a doozy of a pair of late 70s/early 80s movies in MAKING LOVE & LOOKING FOR MR GOODBAR. maximumfun.org/episodes/fee... #filmsky
