Episode notes
This episode originally aired in May 2024.
Drag superstar Latrice Royale has been in the game since before Ru Paul’s Drag Race was a phenomenon. She won Miss Congeniality on her season of that show, and went on to appear on All-Stars and Drag U. An actor and performer, Latrice leads Season 4 of HBO’s drag docuseries We’re Here. And if you know anything about Latrice, just a few moments with Della Reese’s character, Vera Walker, in the Eddie Murphy-directed dramedy Harlem Nights will show you how Latrice’s persona may have been shaped by Vera’s no-nonsense power and heart of gold.
Then, Jordan has one quick think about Humane, directed by Caitlin Cronenberg.
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.
