Episode notes
Oscar Montoya is a co-host of the new MaxFun podcast Eurovangelists, all about the Eurovision Song Contest. And his love of song and spectacle factors into his professional life as a dancer, actor, and comedian. But long before that career began, Oscar was a kid growing up in Colombia, where for some reason a 1985 movie called Young Sherlock Holmes was playing on repeat. Directed by Barry Levinson and produced by Steven Spielberg, the movie captures the Watson/Sherlock dynamic that is common to most every retelling of that story…except this time, they’re kids. As a smart but quiet kid himself, Young Oscar saw himself in the Young Watson of Young Sherlock Holmes.
Then, Jordan has one quick thing about the slate of upcoming horror movies!

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.
