On Feeling Seen, writer and general enthusiast Jordan Crucchiola invites filmmakers, writers, comedians, and artists to discuss the movie characters that made them "feel seen." It's about that instant when a person connects to a piece of art so deeply that they see themselves reflected in it. Every week Jordan gabs it up with a guest about those magical moments when they were watching a film and realized, "That's me!" It's an informative, funny, and comforting show about our intimate relatio ...

Sierra Katow is an Asian-American woman in stand-up comedy, but those parts of her identity are surface-level. What you might not know about Sierra (unless you watch her new special, FUNT) is that she's also a little sister. That's not the only point of recognition she has with Lilo and Mei, heroes of Lilo & Stitch and My Neighbor Totoro, but it's …

From her roles in a semi-autobiographical sitcom in 1996 (Life's Work) to The Parent Trap to Abbott Elementary, Lisa Ann Walter has played a lot of different kinds of strong, brassy women. And even though standards of beauty and acceptance in Hollywood are always changing, those winds haven't always bl…

Larry Fessenden is almost a kind of mythic figure in the world of indie filmmaking. He's a filmmaker behind dozens of his own independently produced projects, an actor, an editor, and a producer who's helped give directors from Ti West to Kelly Reichart their start. His new film is BLACKOUT, which focuses on a different kind of mythic figure: the w…

THE SAVAGES (directed by Tamara Jenkins, who also directed SLUMS OF BEVERLY HILLS, and starrring Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman) is an often poignant comedy about adult siblings trying to get care for their elderly father, who suffers from dementia.

Comedian Caitlin Peluffo (whose new album, DIRTY BIRD, just dropped) was a soccer star as a kid who craved attention from boys, despite not fitting the "cute girl" stereotype. Becky "Icebox" O'Shea, a central character in the 1994 family football comedy LITTLE GIANTS, is on the precipice of that same flight. Caitlin never did shake her deep affinit…

The host and writer of the SIGNIFICANT OTHERS podcast, Liza Powel O'Brien, was a teenager when Dustin Hoffman's iconic Michael Dorsey/Dorothy Michaels dropped into her life via TOOTSIE. The Michael/Dorothy transformation illustrated to her the same thing it showed Michael in the movie: it takes a lot of work to dress up like a woman. Jordan and Liz…

Oscar Montoya is a co-host of the new MaxFun podcast Eurovangelists, all about the Eurovision Song Contest.

While MILLER'S GIRL, in theaters now, is Jade Halley Bartlett's debut feature, she's been a working screenwriter, playwright, and actor for many years.

The interview in this episode was originally published in March of 2022. Before she was the starring alongside Jodie Foster in TRUE DETECTIVE, Kali Reis was a champion boxer.

Comedian and writer Josh Gondelman is a pep-talk enthusiast and famously upbeat guy, with a solid career and a happy home life. Not one of these traits does he share with Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac), from the Coen Brothers' 2013 film INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS. And yet, when he saw it in the theater, Josh felt so seen by Llewyn -- and not in a good way -- …

Growing up on the rez, comedian and writer Joey Clift didn't know that comedy (or TV writing) was an option for him. But a decade in Hollywood has taken him from UCB teams to Emmy nominations, and on the way he's helped create the Native representation he didn't see as a kid. He's also watched as the industry has begun to make that representation m…

Comedy writer, singer, co-host of the Las Culturistas podcast, and now Prince of Christmas, Matt Rogers is filling a musical comedy niche previously occupied by...well, no one at all. Is it possible that he got here by following his inner Torrance Shipman, aka Kirsten Dunst's character from the 2000 film Bring It On? Matt shares why the movie was i…

When the director of some of the juiciest modern horror films came to us with Ferris Bueller as his "feeling seen" pick, we were surprised and intrigued. John Hughes' fun-loving and beloved (except by the principal) truant, as played by Matthew Broderick, is the ultimate main character. And while William Brent Bell might not crave the spotlight, he…

All-time great character actor Stephen Tobolowsky might be best known as Ned Ryerson from GROUNDHOG DAY, but his film and television credits number in the hundreds.

Welsh comedian Steffan Alun joins us to get really serious about a movie that rarely gets the philosophical treatment: 2004's coming-of-age romcom 13 Going on 30. He's seen the movie countless times, and relates not only to Jennifer Garner's Jenna Rink, but also her boss at Poise magazine, Richard, as played by Andy Serkis (!). Then, Jordan has one…

Vulture TV Critic and former Whole Movie Podcast cohost Roxana Hadadi joins us at last, and the film she brought is one for the ages! PUMP UP THE VOLUME was released in 1990 and yes, it's a time capsule of teenaged Gen-X angst. But it's also weirdly timeless, relevant, and stirring. Roxana is a Millennial, but she's carried both sides of "Hard Harr…

From Fear of a Black Hat to the Tales from the Hood series to Chapelle's Show, director Rusty Cundieff (whose latest is sci-fi thriller 57 Seconds) has always been comfortable swinging between genres -- especially horror and comedy. His Hollywood journey may have been inspired by the big ambitions of Preach from the 1975 classic Cooley High. Then, …

Malachi Moore is a writer, model, former Division 1 football player, and entertainment renaissance man. And when he saw Chris Washington (as played by Daniel Kaluuya in Jordan Peele's GET OUT), he not only related to Chris's plight in the film, but also to the depiction of a Black man who is also a sensitive, anxious artist. All that, plus some con…

Comedian Glen Tickle says he owes much of his creative live to seeing Kevin Smith's CLERKS when he was in high school. A New Jersey native like Smith (and like the film's characters), Glen didn't just see himself on screen -- he also saw a style of creative expression that felt achievably close-to-home. Now a comedian and father of two, he also fel…

Actor and director Natasha Halevi was identified as a Wednesday type by others before she saw it in herself. Decades later, she's still channeling Wednesday's wisdom and willingness to speak truth to power, most recently as the driving force behind the abortion rights horror anthology Give Me an A. Then, Jordan has one quick thing about an Exorcist…

Ashley Blaine Featherson-Jenkins (aka ABFJ) grew up relating to Breanna Barnes, the main character of UPN's sitcom One on One. But she wanted to be living the life of its star, Kyla Pratt. When reality (and Ashley's parents) pushed her acting dreams to post-college, Ashley went to Howard University...but not before bingeing A Different World in hop…

This episode originally aired on Nov 24, 2022 (Thanksgiving Day). Sometimes our co-hosts really struggle to come up with a character to discuss for our show. But actor Raúl Castillo (The Inspection, Cha Cha Real Smooth, Looking, and now Cassandro) went with his gut, and what came to mind immediately was The Outsiders, and especially Matt Dillon's c…

At 24, Megan Suri couldn't have been more than 10 years old when she first laid eyes on Parminder Nagra as Jess in BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM. Here was a girl and a family that resembled her; and Jess was the talented, desired center of her own story. Now, Megan stars in IT LIVES INSIDE, which hits theaters this weekend (9/22/23). Then, Jordan will have …

In 2013's The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Walter is a quiet outsider with an active fantasy life but not much of a real life beyond his job. But through the movie (and in service of his work) he embraces a great adventure and grows in the process. Comedian Myq Kaplan relates to both versions of Walter -- the awkward, quiet creative mind and the se…

Actor and comedian Cameron Esposito was in her 20s when BOUND first came to her attention, and to this day it remains not only stuck in her memory, but also extremely formative. Gina Gershon as Corky was undeniably gorgeous while also being unquestionably masc. It's a pairing that's still relatively rare on screen, almost 30 years after the Wachows…

Sammi Cohen has gotten their directing career off to a rousing start with CRUSH and now YOU ARE SO NOT INVITED TO MY BAT MITZVAH. Both movies focus on middle or high schoolers learning more about themselves, so perhaps its no surprise that Sammi has brought us a trio of characters who, at various ages, are "coming of age" through life-changing expe…

When Emma Seligman's debut film SHIVA BABY premiered in on a Brooklyn rooftop in 2021, Jordan was there to see the event first-hand. That was arguably the start of a whirlwind of movie deals and news that led straight to BOTTOMS, Seligman's new film, co-written by Rachel Sennott (who stars in both films). On this week's episode, Emma and Jordan tal…

Stewart Thorndike made a splash with LYLE in 2014, establishing her as an exciting new voice in horror. Her latest film. BAD THINGS, further solidifies this, with its focus squarely on (queer) female characters who aren't afraid to be messy. In Mike Leigh's play ABIGAIL'S PARTY, filmed for television in 1977, Beverly Moss is the life of the party..…

Director William J. Stribling saw THE BIRDCAGE as a 7 or 8 year old, and it instantly became his favorite, watched on repeat. At its center is director and drag club owner Armand Goldman (or is it Coleman?), played by the incomparable Robin Williams. Decades later, Will is a comedy director himself, whose latest film (full disclosure: it was writte…

Carter Smith is a queer horror icon, even if all his films aren't highlighting explicitly queer relationships. A master of depicting complex male...friendships?, he continues that trend in his new film, THE PASSENGER. And perhaps that instinct got its start watching Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge. Much has been said -- and not all of i…

On her podcast, TV, I SAY WITH ASHLEY RAY, Ashley has no pretentions about good entertainment. But once upon a time, she was a young Bergman scholar (and even, briefly, a beat poet). This entire trajectory of self-examination and unapologetic devotion to her own interests might just have its roots in Michel Gondry and Charlie Kaufman's 2004 opus, E…
