Fearless Pretender: The Jennifer Jason Leigh Podcast
Fearless PretenderA podcast examining, in chronological order, the filmography of the great character actress Jennifer Jason Leigh. Each month, Sam Inglis and Jason Shawhan discuss, analyse and, let's face it, probably argue about a JJL film or TV project.

Reviews
- Seen two of her movies Fast Times and Flesh + Blood
I’ve watched Fast Times over 30 times. Having listened to a few episodes already. I’m about as disappointed as you guys towards her IG account on Under Cover. I showed a colleague at work screenshots of reels she posted I sent to him and he showed some to his mother which made her horrified since she’s a fan of her.
