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
A yellow square with a red-tinted image of Tim Blake Nelson. Behind him, an image of people dancing (from the film THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE) and a black and white image of a man cradling his head in his hands (from the film DOWN BY LAW). The words “Feeling Seen” in block letters across it all.

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

maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...
A square yellow graphic reads “Feeling Seen,” and features a red-tinted headshot of James Badge Dale, as well as two movie stills. On the top, the still is of Dale in the film KING IVORY, carrying an automatic weapon and walking though a fluorescent-lit room covered in plastic tarps. The second is a young Robert De Niro in MEAN STREETS, holding a bag of ice to his eye and laughing in front of a sign that reads “POSITIVELY NO GAMBLING.”

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...
A yellow graphic features a photo of Shea Whigham, and another of him in his film AMERICAN PRIMEVAL. In the background, an image of Robert Duvall in TENDER MERCIES. An inset photo of Jordan Crucchiola. Amid all this, text reads "Episode 162: Shea Whigham on 'American Primeval' and 'Tender Mercies.'"

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...

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...
A yellow square with the words “Feeling Seen” in black caps. Drawings of film frames with pop-art eye balls decorate the frame, along with an image from the film WORKING GIRL and one from THE PLAYER. In the former, Melanie Griffith smiles at someone across the frame. In the latter, Tim Robbins sits on a black couch between two old movie posters. At the front of the graphic, a red-tinted headshot of Barbara Muschietti.

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...
A square image with a yellow background features a red-tinted photo of writer/director John-Michael Powell; a film still from the movie VIOLENT ENDS in which actor Billy Magnussen wears a bloody shirt and aims a shotgun to someone just off camera, shouting; a film still from the movie ALL THE REAL GIRLS in which actors Zooey Deschael and Paul Schneider sit in a wheat field, Schneider kissing Deschanel's forehead. The words "Feeling Seen" appear in black capital letters across the overall image.

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

A yellow square says "FEELING SEEN" in black letters. A red-toned photo of Tina Romero frames film stills from 'Peter Pan' and 'Queens of the Dead.'

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...
Over a yellow background, a photo of Katy O’Brian, along with the title “Feeling Seen,” some pop art graphics of eyes, and a still from the movie ‘G.I. Jane,’ in which Demi Moore’s character is in a muddy combat zone, hunched and on a satellite phone.

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.

maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...
A graphic reads "Feeling Seen" in black on a yellow background. Film strips frame images of eyes, as well as frames from the movies RED SONJA, MONICA, MAN ON HIGH HEELS, and DR. JEKYLL AND SISTER HYDE. in the left corner of the image, red-tinged photo of director MJ Bassett on a film set.

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.

Tricia Cooke's fun, gay film HONEY DON'T hits theaters today, and we've got her on the latest FEELING SEEN, talking about a classic of fun, gay cinema: BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER. #filmsky

maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...
The yellow logo for the FEELING SEEN podcast features film strips with cartoon eyes. A red photo of Tricia Cooke is superimposed below the words "Feeling Seen." Tricia is framed by stills from HONEY DON'T and BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER. In the HONEY DON'T image, Margaret Qualley wears a red dress and looks into the distance in a barren landscape. In the BUT I'M A CHEERLEADER still, Clea Duvall and Natasha Lyonne are both dressed in pink and staring toward the camera, arms crossed in frustration.

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
maximumfun.org/episodes/fee...
On a yellow background, film strips with images from Pan's Labyrinth (the faun speaking to Ofelia) and In the Mood for Love (Mr. Chan looking longingly at Mrs. Chung) surround the words "Feeling Seen." In the foreground, a red-tinted image of this week's guest, actor Danielle Deadwyler.
