Episode notes
From booking her first audition (as a kid, for beloved cult classic DONNIE DARKO) to being Kevin Bacon’s literal boss-from-hell in the new Amazon series THE BONDSMAN, Jolene Purdy has had a full career on screens of all sizes. She talks with Jordan about the challenges of being an “outside the box” casting choice, the importance of staying true to yourself, and the unlikely allure of the most charming John Waters adaptation Broadway could dream up.
Then, one quick thing about the latest entry in France’s answer to the Fast/Furious franchise, The Lost Bullet 3.

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.
