Feeling Seen

When Krys Marshall (FOR ALL MANKIND's Danielle Poole) told us she felt seen by Clementine from ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND, Annie from ANNIE HALL, and Selma from DANCER IN THE DARK, we couldn’t wait to get together and hear the full story. Krys and Jordan talk about how these free spirited (and sometimes misunderstood) women speak to Krys as an actor and as a person. In one quick thing, Jordan’s seen THE NORTHMAN and can’t wait to tell you the phrase she left the theater chanting.***With Jordan Crucchiola and Krys Marshall Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production of Maximum Fun. You can watch video editions of our new episodes on our YouTube Channel!Need more Feeling Seen?

Mariama Diallo’s new debut feature film, MASTER, may be a horror movie, but just like Kasi Lemmons’ first feature, EVE’S BAYOU, it tackles themes of ritual and the supernatural. Mariama was about the same age as Eve (Jurnee Smollett) when she first saw the film. She and Jordan discuss both films, and the ways in which the promise of progress in ‘90s entertainment have been slow to materialize.Then, Jordan’s got some really important stuff to say about feeling seen by another title character: The Batman. What Should Be Learned From the End of UPN and the Golden Era of Black Television (The Mary Sue)20 Years Later, Eve’s Bayou Is Still a Stunning Portrait of Black American Life(Angelica Jade Bastién for Vulture)***Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and FacebookWith Jordan Crucchiola and Mariama Diallo Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production of Maximum Fun. You can watch video editions of our new episodes on our YouTube Channel!Need more Feeling Seen?

Acclaimed director Hany Abu-Assad is a real standup guy. Randle McMurphy…eh, not so much. But ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST has us rooting for McMurphy nonetheless, and for a young Hany, he offered a glimpse into the nature of oppression, and the power of creativity as a form of resistance. No, really! After Jordan and Hany have a deep and thoughtful conversation about all that, and about his new film, HUDA’S SALON…Jordan has one quick thing to say about something else deep: the new trailer for DEEP WATER. ***Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and FacebookWith Jordan Crucchiola and Hany Abu-Assad Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production of Maximum Fun. You can watch video editions of our new episodes on our YouTube Channel!Need more Feeling Seen?

Kali Reis is a champion boxer, but as she shares in this interview, she has always been "boxing for a cause" -- in particular, that of Murdered and Missing Indigenous Women. In her feature debut, 'Catch the Fair One' (directed by Josef Kubota Wladyka), she plays a  woman whose world is shaken when her sister goes missing.  Reis, who is of Wampanoag and Cape Verdean heritage, brings us a character with much different problems, but whose physicality, sense of humor, and deeply felt emotions, have been making Kali feel seen: Rue Bennett from HBO's Euphoria.Then, Jordan has one quick thing to say about Death on the Nile.

When it comes to film characters, author and commentator Charlie Jane Anders found that she had to took way back to a movie she loved as a child, AUNTIE MAME (1958), to name someone that made her feel seen in an aspirational way. But in that special FEELING SEEN way, the search for a character to identify with ends up revealing a whole slew of exuberant women who aren't afraid to live their big, colorful lives -- women like Harley Quinn, Leslie Knope, and the 13th Doctor. For one quick thing this week, Jordan's got something stuck in her craw regarding the franchise-fan response to the new TEXAS CHAINSAW movie.***Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and FacebookWith Jordan Crucchiola and Charlie Jane Anders Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production of Maximum Fun. You can watch video editions of our new episodes on our YouTube Channel!Need more Feeling Seen?

Jordan's dreams come true as she and fellow-Oregonian Jasmin Savoy Brown (THE LEFTOVERS, YELLOWJACKETS, SCREAM) have a heart to heart about Raven in THAT'S SO RAVEN, Meg in WRINKLE IN TIME, and the girls of PLAN B...and dairy, queer representation, standing up for what you believe in, and why releasing music is scarier than making TV and movies.Then, Jordan's hoping for that DEEP WATER will be both a trashy delight and the herald of a new era of erotic thrillers.***Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and FacebookWith Jordan Crucchiola and Jasmin Savoy Brown Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production of Maximum Fun. You can watch video editions of our new episodes on our YouTube Channel!Need more Feeling Seen?
