He’s also penned several books: The Rap Year Book, Basketball (and Other Things) and Movies (and Other Things). He’s also written, created, and directed projects like the film Miguel Wants to Fight, the Freevee sitcom Primo, and the Netflix series Neon.
His most recent project is a book titled Werewolf Lawyer – A Thomas Atwell Legal Thriller. It’s a story about a lawyer who has to defend a werewolf accused of murdering his human wife. All of the evidence points toward the werewolf’s guilt. But he swears he didn’t do it! It’s a production of HALFWAY BOOKS, a digital publishing company created by Serrano. You can unravel the mystery here.
Shea joins Feeling Seen to talk about Werewolf Lawyer, Vanilla Ice on the silver screen, and his extensive VHS collection. You name it, he’s got it! Plus, we get into the 1998 poker drama Rounders with Matt Damon, at his most chiseled, as Mike McDermott.
Then Jordan has one quick thing about Sebastian Stan’s incredible performance in The Apprentice. A performance we can’t help but stan!

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.
