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!

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!

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

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)

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

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

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...

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!

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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
