  • The back half of this ep sounds like the audio is out of sync so it's pretty rough to listen to. It was really wonderful otherwise.

  • Feeling (truly) seen...

    Most movie/media reviews fall into critical reception or bashing or glorification. It's so beautiful to see a space where everyday people who also happen to be creators have the space to speak genuinely about the movies they love and why.

  • Jordan is Perfect

    The number of times Jordan has asked questions that her guests clearly appreciate due to their thoughtfulness is amazing. Interviewing is truly her calling. I hope this podcast continues for a very long time.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jeff Hiller on 'Steel Magnolias' & 'The Object of My Affection'
Q: How did your upbringing and coming out influence your connection to Steel Magnolias and its characters?
He describes the strong, communal female connections, the role of female-led 90s cinema in shaping his identity, and how the film's emotional moments and humor resonated deeply with his own experiences growing up in Texas.
Jeff Hiller on 'Steel Magnolias' & 'The Object of My Affection'
Q: Tell me your experience with The Object Of My Affection.
The guest recalls seeing it in college, identifying with the characters and the hopeful portrayal of fatherhood and non-traditional family life, and reflects on how the movie felt like a bridge to possibility for a gay person coming out in a small town.
Chandler Levack on ‘Frances Ha’
Q: How did your experience as a journalist shape your filmmaking?
Covering entertainment taught me how to build rapport quickly, extract meaningful quotes, and shape them into a narrative arc, which later informed how I directed actors and shaped dialogue.
Chandler Levack on ‘Frances Ha’
Q: What drew you to Greta Gerwig and Frances Ha in particular?
Her work felt intimately connected to real life and growth, and Frances Ha mirrored my own chaotic journey and attachment to memory, which made me feel seen as a creator.
Amber Nash on 'Lethal Weapon 3'
Q: What's your advice for people starting voice acting?
You gotta be an actor first, then you bring the whole self to voice work; your body and presence matter even when you are working with just audio.
