Matthew and @jorcru.bsky.social talk about SCREAM, D&D, surviving in Hollywood, Kathleen Turner, Ghostface vodka...you know, the hits. But the centerpiece is the story of his sole directorial effort, a sweet and underseen film starring a young Jacob Wysocki: FAT KID RULES THE WORLD.
BIG NEWS! We have a brand new YouTube channel, and we're kicking things off over there with an interview we're so excited about: Matthew Lillard! #filmsky

I cannot stress enough how beautiful this conversation is with Walter. His film writing comes from such a personal place, and I was so looking forward to that same level of closeness to the material in a feeling seen chat. It was everything I’ve hoped!
A yellow square graphic with the words "Feeling Seen" in the center. Film cels around these words show comics-style close ups of eyes, as well as frames from the film BARTON FINK (John Turturro in a suit and glasses pointing angrily to his own head; Turturro at a desk, writing in a notepad under a desk lamp). On the left side of the image, there is a large, red-tinted head shot of filmmaker Walter Chaw.
When @mangiotto.bsky.social sent us his character pick for this week's episode of Feeling Seen, he asked "...too obvious?" Always a good sign. Fans of the cinema arts, you gotta hear the singular film critic Walter Chaw and @jorcru.bsky.social talk about BARTON FINK.

Unbelievable things happening at the @maximumfun.org studios
If you haven't listened to @gianmarcosoresi.bsky.social talk about AMADEUS (and feeling seen by all-timer antihero Salieri, as played by F. Murray Abraham), now's your chance! We brought this one out of the vault this week -- it's one of our favorites.

We made a special episode about the damage being done to public mental health here in Minnesota. Even if you don't live here, it's a bracing look at the dangerous position we're in, what we stand to lose, and what our community is doing about it.
We are going back to our ROOTS w/ this @feelingseen.bsky.social because I am talking to THE Shauna Shipman (and now The Rose Landry)… Sophie Nelisse. We have an impromptu therapy session talking about her connection with INSIDE OUT 2 and anguished inner monologues podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...
I'm so excited to work with Chiwetel again! And more to come, very soon... deadline.com/2026/02/the-...
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

This absolute bastard. And not for nothing, complete and total loser. Desperately trying to make up for a life of being a nerd by becoming whatever vapid celebrity CEO this is now. What a waste of resources.
Sophie Nélisse (YELLOWJACKETS, HEATED RIVALRY, & WHISTLE, now in theaters) has a few thoughts about eMoTiOnS!
That's why she's brought INSIDE OUT 2 to the show today, for a great conversation about facing anxiety and the unknowable inner monologues all around us!

THANKS LARRY!
A yellow-backed graphic shows a photo of a smiling man (Chris Stuckmann) on the left, next to some film images: a red-tinted cutout of a woman screaming and a still of two young women in hats and coats cozying up to each other outside. In the lower corner, a photo of a smiling woman (Jordan Crucchiola). Text on the graphic reads "Episode 207: Chris Stuckmann on 'Shelby Oaks' and 'You Can Live Forever.'"
Today we've got CHRIS STUCKMANN (writer/director of SHELBY OAKS and longtime YouTube movie guy) talking about one of the few on-screen representations of the Jehovah's Witness world he left behind: 2022's YOU CAN LIVE FOREVER. And it's a queer teen romance, you guys!

Latest feeling seen is with filmmaker Chris Stuckmann, who brought a movie for discussion I’d never heard of: YOU CAN LIVE FOREVER, about a gay teen girl struggling in the Jehovah Witness community. We talk about living for movies and for yourself and it’s lovely! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...
We better get leaks AS SOON as this wraps!
For Jolenta Greenberg, the first time through high school felt almost as awkward as Jerri Blank's return there in STRANGERS WITH CANDY. Except Amy Sedaris made it all seem hilariously...bearable. All this, plus RHONY reminiscences and the scoop on self-help books!

It is a hallowed day on Feeling Seen. For we are discussing… STRANGERS WITH CANDY! Find out how Jolenta Greenberg connects with THE Jerri Blank! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...
If there is one Oscar nominee I will beg you to see, it’s the feature doc MR. NOBODY AGAINST PUTIN. It’s told from the perspective of a school teacher in a small Ural Mountains town as he, the schools documentarian, captures the tightening authoritarian grip following Russia’s invasion into Ukraine.
Very exciting to talk about Kristen Stewart's new-to-theaters directorial debut with @roxanegay.bsky.social and @alainmartin.bsky.social. We're talking THE CHRONOLOGY OF WATER, plus a discussion of memoir movies we love and ones we'd like to see get made. #filmsky

SUPPORT INDEPENDENT CINEMA! is a really rallying cry for us at Feeling Seen, and OBEX is as indie as things get. Saw it at last years Sundance and finally got to chat with Albert Birney about his inspirations and to my great delight: Marcel the Shell!!
Looking for some creative inspiration? @albertbirney.bsky.social’s stunningly creative, super handmade film OBEX is in theaters now, & he told @jorcru.bsky.social about filmmaking with friends for the joy of it. All through the lens of MARCEL THE SHELL WITH SHOES ON!

Yes, please believe that Jordan asked Tim Blake Nelson about his teen high school adaptation of Othello, 2001’s ‘O,’ starring Mekhi Phifer, Julia Stiles, and Josh Hartnett. And believe that he told her all about how he came to direct it — and how it almost didn’t get released!
