Episode notes
Writer, film critic, and educator Walter Chaw has been writing and thinking about cinema since he was a teenager — when he discovered how it could make him feel understood, and that saved his life. Now, he’s a critic whose unapologetically personal takes on cinema makes some folks love his work, and really pisses some other folks off. Despite his artist’s temperament and his expertise, Walter wants to stay in touch with the common man…just like BARTON FINK, from the Coen Brothers’ classic 1991 anti-ode to the Studio System.
Then, Jordan has one quick thing about some exciting June Squibb News.

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.
