Kali Reis on ‘Euphoria’ [Replay with an Update!]

Episode notes

The interview in this episode was originally published in March of 2022.

Before she was the starring alongside Jodie Foster in TRUE DETECTIVE, Kali Reis was a champion boxer. 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, back in 2024, Jordan has one quick thing to say about the brand new crop of Oscar nominees.
