Episode notes

Back in 1986, Tim Blake Nelson was a drama student at Julliard when he saw Jim Jarmusch’s sophomore feature, DOWN BY LAW. Tom Waits (who would continue to work with Jarmusch, and is starring in his latest film) plays a regular unlucky joe, and does it as no typical Hollywood star could. It was a path into the world of movies that Nelson could see himself following, if he got the chance (which he did). Today, you can see the great Tim Blake Nelson in Mona Fastvold’s THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE, which stars Amanda Seyfried.

Then Jordan has one quick thing about a great action cinema primer that’s fun for action heads and would-be action fans alike: @HeadExposure‘s Action Year in Review.

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.
