Episode notes
Chris Sullivan is veteran actor of the stage and screen. You may know him as Toby Damon from the Emmy-nominated NBC drama This Is Us, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, or the Cinemax medical drama The Knick, directed by Steven Soderbergh.
Chris reunites with Soderbergh in his newest project Presence. It’s a supernatural horror film centered on a family who moves into a new home BUT they aren’t alone. Chris stars alongside the incomparable Lucy Liu and newcomers Eddy Maday and Callina Liang in this grippingly innovative film. It’s in theaters right now.
Chris joins Feeling Seen to talk about Presence, his very own This Is Us podcast (That Was Us), and the 1985 adventure film The Goonies. Goonies never say die! Neither do we!
Then, Jordan hedges her bets on Demi Moore to take home the Oscar for Best Actress for The Substance. We’re manifesting hard over here!
If you or anyone you know has been impacted by the fires in Los Angeles, Mutual Aid LA Network (MALAN) has created a non-exhaustive list of resources available for those in need. As mentioned in the episode, World Central Kitchen is offering free meals to first responders of the fires here in Southern California. You can find a list of meal distribution sites here.

About the show
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 relationship with movies, the impact they have on our lives, and how they influence our art.
