Episode notes

If you’ve never seen G.I. Jane, you might know it as a punchline, an epithet, or shorthand for a certain kind of movie — or a certain kind of woman. But watching G.I. Jane in 2025, you see a portrait of fierce tenacity and genuine strength, all baked into a Ridley Scott action war drama. Actor Katy O’Brian — who is absolutely on fire right now, and the list of things you’d know her from grows ever longer — saw in Demi Moore’s character, Jordan, a rare glimpse of something she recognized in herself. She’s a character who pulls no punches, deserves her place among the boys, and commands respect just by being true to her goals and skills. She and Jordan get into all that, plus some of Katy’s recent work, especially Maintenance Required and Queens of the Dead.

Then, Jordan has one quick thing about a new Tubi original from Danishka Esterhazy, MATCH.

Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production Maximum Fun.

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.
