Episode notes
Laura Hudson, former editor at WIRED, the Verge, and more, got tired of telling people in power about the dangers of the tech they were building. Now, she’s stopped warning them through journalism, and has pivoted to warning them through art — like her comic book EXPLOIT, co-authored by Tim Leong. This week, she’s telling Jordan about how her experiences writing about tech (and games and comics) has only strengthened her affinity with Ellen Ripley, especially as she appears in 1986’s ALIENS.
Then Jordan has one quick thing about two very different movies to check out in theaters: Onslaught and Practical Magic 2.
Feeling Seen is hosted by Jordan Crucchiola and is a production of 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.
